P/2017/1298 Black Hall, Llandyssil, Montgomery, Powys SY15 6HR PDF 439 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Grid Ref: 320356.94, 294049.12
Valid Date: 21/11/2017
Officer: Bryn Pryce
Community Council: Llandyssil Community Council
Applicant: R.B Jones & Son Mr & Mrs R Jones, Llwynobin, Montgomery, Powys SY15 6JA
Location: Black Hall, Llandyssil, Montgomery Powys SY15 6HR
Proposal: FULL: Expansion of existing free range egg complex encompassing the construction of an additional 32,000 free range poultry unit, erection of six feed silos, extension to hardstanding yard, alteration to private access road, new manure store and landscaping details
Application Type: Application for Full Planning Permission
Mr A Matthews spoke on behalf of objectors. Mr I Price spoke as the applicant agent.
The Planning Officer advised that the Environmental Statement submitted on behalf of the Applicant had been taken into consideration when processing the application. He also advised that if the Committee was minded to approve the application the conditions were those detailed in the Update report. The Professional Lead Development Management advised that at Whitehall Farm there were two residential properties – the house and the barn which had been converted into a tourism facility and an attic flat which he was informed had not been implemented.
In response to questions the Highway Authority advised that the two passing bays were in addition to the two existing passing bays already constructed on the highway.
The Planning Officer, in response to questions, advised the Committee that the objectors’ odour report had been forwarded to Environmental Health and Natural Resources Wales [NRW] and neither had raised objections to the application. He advised that in respect of the land that appeared to be wet in the roaming area, which was shown in his presentation, the Land Drainage Officer was content with the application subject to a condition being included regarding a surface water drainage scheme.
Comment was made about NRW stating that provided the site operates in accordance with the Manure Management Plan it was unlikely to cause pollution. It was considered that a statutory consultee should be more certain in its opinion. The Professional Lead Development Management advised that this was NRW’s opinion and it considered that any risks could be managed if appropriate mitigation measures were put in place.
The Planning Officer advised that the proposed unit was approx. 140 metres from Black Hall and the proposed manure store was approx. 310 metres from the dwelling at Whitehall Farm and 270 metres to the Barn conversion at Whitehall Farm. In response to comments he advised that the application complied with Policies EC10 and ENV2. The top of the proposed manure store would be below the ridge of the hill and landscaping around it would mean that it would not in his opinion have a significant impact on the area.
The Committee noted that there would be a 10 metre buffer zone around the stream and ancient woodland to the west of the site. In response to questions the Professional Lead Development Management advised that information submitted by third parties was sent to statutory consultees for consideration.
