Councillor I Harrison spoke as the local representative. Ms J Ellis spoke as the agent.
The Planning Officer advised that the Built Heritage Officer and CADW had advised that the proposed development will not, having had special regard, cause adverse harm to the setting of the nearby registered historic park and garden or listed building and as a result had no objections to the development.
Questions were raised about highways issues and the Planning Officer advised that the Highway Authority had not objected to the application subject to the inclusion of a planning condition. In response to a question about the accidents reported near the site, the Highways Officer advised it was not clear whether these were linked with the site. He advised that the visibility into and out of the site were adequate and the traffic levels on the A490 and B4392 did not warrant a turning lane. He acknowledged the concerns raised by the local residents but advised that the Highways Authority had to follow national guidance. The Committee noted that the Agent referred to a planning application for a housing development where traffic improvements, in respect of speed limits, had been offered by the applicant but these had been turned down by the Highways Authority. It was also noted that local residents had raised a petition regarding speed limits. As the Highways Officer advised that he did not deal with speed limits, the Chair agreed to pause the meeting to enable him to speak to colleagues.
On his return the Highways Officer advised that the housing application was for outline consent and there would be opportunities when this application is considered to review speed limits. The Traffic Engineer has advised that a petition has been received regarding speed limits in this area. Speed data would be collected for two weeks after 14 April 2023 along this section of the A490 and the B4392 junctions. The data would be used to determine whether the speed limit on this section of the road needed to be changed. The Professional Lead Planning reminded the Committee that it had to consider this application on its own merits and that the Highways Authority had no objections subject to a planning condition.
In response to a question the Planning Officer advised that the amenity of surrounding properties were not adversely affected by the proposed development.
It was moved and duly seconded to approve the application as recommended by the officer.
