18.0390. REM Maes Y Nant, Berriew, Welshpool, Powys, SY21 8BG PDF 85 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Grid Ref: E: 315759 N: 301953
Valid Date: 24/07/2018
Officer: Bryn Pryce
Community Council: Berriew Community Council
Applicant: D Davies
Location: Maes Y Nant, Berriew, Welshpool, Powys SY21 8BG
Proposal: Section 73 application to remove planning condition no. 3 attached to planning permission M2004/0930 (occupancy restriction)
Application Type: Removal or Variation of Condition
In response to questions the Planning Officer advised that Development Management was satisfied that the property had been marketed correctly. Although there had been interest in the property, the occupancy conditions had meant that this interest had not been taken further.
Concerns were raised that the original planning permission in 2004 was granted because the occupancy condition would ensure that the property would remain an agricultural dwelling. The Professional Lead Development Management advised that the property had been marketed by an appropriate estate agent, at a price well below the market value and that the Affordable Housing Officer had advised that the property, at the reduced price, would not be affordable to local earning levels. In response to a question the Professional Lead Development Management advised that the income of an applicant was only considered in an application for a rural enterprise dwelling and the ability of the rural enterprise to cover the costs was considered. Where a building exists, the marketing evidence has to be considered.
The Solicitor reminded the Committee that it had to treat the applicant, as they would any other applicant and they would need valid planning reasons for going against officer’s recommendation. In accordance with the Protocol, the Solicitor had reviewed the planning file and confirmed that the application had been processed “normally”. Concerns were raised that the valuation was made by one estate agent and it was suggested that another valuation should be sought. The Professional Lead Development Management advised that if Development Management had concerns regarding a valuation, it would seek a second valuation. However, officers were content with the marketing information provided, but it was a valid request from the Committee.
It was moved and duly seconded to defer the application to obtain a further valuation for the property.
County Councillor G Pugh, having declared a prejudicial interest, left the meeting room for the next item.

Local Access Forum [LAF] PDF 82 KB To appoint a Council representative onto the LAF. Minutes: The Committee received a report regarding the appointment of a Member to the Powys Local Access Forum.
The Professional Lead Development Management provided an update on the Hendy Windfarm development. The Committee noted that consent had been given to the development in October by the Wels Minister. In mid-November the developer had submitted applications for the discharge of conditions and shortly after work commenced on the site, in breach of conditions. When Development Management was made aware of this, it started to monitor the site and consultees such as Natural Resources Wales [NRW], Highways Authority and Countryside Services were involved. NRW for example, has investigated the potential impact of silt from the excavations for turbine 5 on the stream in the locality and the impact on the River Wye SAC. NRW have investigated and advised that with the mitigation measures put in place by the developer, there was no harm, which meant that, in the circumstances, it would not be advisable for Development Management to take any action. Other complaints of reported breaches have been investigated and Development Management will take action if there is evidence to support this and it is expedient to do so.
In response to comments the Professional Lead Development Management agreed that a statement explaining how Development Management is responding to any issues raised, would be produced for Members.
The Solicitor reported that an application by CPRW (Brecon & Radnor) for an injunction against the developers had been dismissed by the High Court and the outcome of CPRW’s application for judicial review of the Welsh Minister’s decision was expected any day.
