Application Type: Application for Full Planning Permission
The Planning Officer advised that the impact on Rights of Way and tourism and the cumulative impact of such developments had been considered by officers in their assessment of the application. The Committee noted that the proposed building was set into the landscape at a lower level than the current ground level. The Planning Officer advised that the Environmental Health Officer, in an update, had confirmed that the proposed development had no impact on any private water supply.
It was noted that Rights of Way issues were covered by different legislation. However, the applicant had discussed the rights of way with Countryside Services and had agreed to protect the footpath near the application site.
In response to comments regarding policing the conditions proposed the Professional Lead Development Management advised that approx. 1400 planning permissions were approved each year. Development Management did not have the resources to monitor the conditions imposed on all of these and so relied on third parties to advise them of any concerns. The Chair considered that this was an issue which should be raised with the Portfolio Holder for Regeneration and Planning.
The Planning Officer advised that a Manure Management Plan had been received and both Natural Resources Wales [NRW] and Natural England were satisfied with this. In response to questions regarding the colour of the roof the Professional Lead Development Management advised that it was similar to other buildings in the area.
The Chair welcomed County Councillor M. Weale, Portfolio Holder Regeneration and Planning to the meeting.

County Councillor G. Pugh spoke as the local representative and then, as he had declared a prejudicial interest, left the meeting room. Mr D. Hughes, Agent, spoke on behalf of the applicant.
The Principal Planning Officer referred the Committee to the Update. She advised that if the Committee was minded to approve the application, that it be delegated to the Professional Lead Development Management to add a suitable condition in respect of affordable housing and to amend condition 2 in consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair.
The Highways Authority confirmed that the proposed footpath was a massive benefit to the area and created a sustainable link to the village. Issues were raised regarding the previous application which was refused and dismissed at appeal. The Principal Planning Officer advised that the applicant had undertaken a lot of pre-application consultation. In addition the previous application was just for a larger church serving the region. This new application was for a smaller church to serve Abermule and the surrounding area. The Officer confirmed that the church in Newtown was not closing and that a church was being built in Shrewsbury. The Professional Lead Development Management advised that the changes to the application had made the proposed development more sustainable.
The Highways Authority advised that the highway had capacity for the traffic movements from the development and therefore it had no objections to the application subject to conditions.

In response to questions the Professional Lead Development Management advised that the mature hedge was included in the application and its retention was covered by conditions.
Concerns were raised regarding the proposed development being outside the development boundary and 115 metres by road from this and that previously the lack of a five year housing land supply was only relevant when a development was adjacent to a settlement. The Planning Officer advised that the applicant proposed to plant trees in the gap between the development and the settlement so that they would be seen to be connected.
It was moved and seconded to refuse the application as it represented an unacceptable development in the open countryside contrary to Policy HP6 and that it be delegated to the Professional Lead Development Management in consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair to agree the wording of the refusal.

The Committee noted that the site was entirely in flood zone C2. In response to questions the Planning Officer advised that Natural Resources Wales [NRW] stated that as there was no increase in the number of caravans on the site there was no increased risk and so the application complied with TAN15. The Professional Lead Development Management advised that if members were not happy with the NRW response it would be appropriate for them to defer for further consideration.
It was proposed and duly seconded to defer consideration of the application to seek further information from NRW as the application proposed the site to be open for a longer period each year.
