Community Council: Presteigne Town Council
Applicant: Mr Wilding
Location: Old Impton Farm , Mynd Road, Norton, Presteigne, LD8 2EN
Proposal: Erection of a poultry unit and associated works
Application Type: Full application
The Chair advised that the Committee had undertaken a site visit prior to the Committee meeting. The Principal Planning Officer advised that if the Committee was minded to approve the application the conditions were those contained in the update report.
Concerns were raised by Members regarding the proposed removal of the conifer trees and it was considered that these, which seem to be near their end of life, should be left and felled when the latter occurred. The Principal Solicitor reminded Members that the removal of the existing conifer plantation was recommended by the Built Heritage Officer in order to mitigate potential harm to the setting of the listed building as articulated within the Committee report. In response, the Built Heritage Officer advised that she was happy for nature to take its course and would not object if the requirement to fell the trees once they had come to the end of their life and replace with native species planting was included within the landscaping scheme to be secured by condition 5.
Members asked if there was a need for a bund utilising the earth dug from the site. The Principal Planning Officer advised that the landscaping plan in her opinion provided sufficient mitigation and therefore did not consider a bund to be necessary. She also advised that due to the site levels, it was not anticipated that there would be surplus earth and the applicant intended to utilise this in the construction of the poultry development.
It was moved and duly seconded that the application be approved subject to the conditions contained in the update report.
The Chair adjourned the meeting for ten minutes for officers to speak to a member of the public.
County Councillors G Jones, F Jump and J Wilkinson resumed their seats in the Committee.
