Proposal: Full planning application for a proposed replacement school, ancillary buildings, a MUGA, landscaping and associated works

Councillor D Jones, Chairman spoke on behalf of Kerry, Sarn & Dolfor Community Council. Mr D Archer spoke as an objector. Mr D Green, Agent spoke on behalf of the applicant.
The Principal Planning Officer advised that if the Committee was minded to approve the application no decision will be issued until confirmation has been received from the Welsh Minister in line with their correspondence.
In response to a question regarding the reason for including condition 25 the Professional Lead Planning advised that the condition tied the existing building and proposed development together, to control the use of the existing site and to ensure that there was no increase in traffic to the area. If a change of use of the existing site in the future was required, the owner of the site would need to apply for the condition to be removed. The Highways Officer in response to a question advised that driveways, being the area between the carriageway and the private boundary, are classed as part of the highway and therefore can be considered to be “informal” passing places. In response to a question regarding the use of a green field site the Professional Lead, Planning advised that use of a brown field site is always preferred but policy does allow for green field sites to be used. He advised that the current buildings are listed and therefore constrain the development of modern school facilities. The Principal Planning Officer confirmed that a sequential assessment of other sites in Powys had been considered and these had been discounted.

It was noted that a landscape plan was included and the Principal Planning Officer advised that it had been assessed that there was no adverse visual impact to surrounding properties. The Committee noted that it could not condition that a ground source heat pump be included but it was noted that a recommendation could be made by the Committee to the applicant.
