20/0387/OUT Fairview Garage, Guilsfield, Welshpool, Powys, SY21 9ND PDF 260 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Grid Ref: E: 321953 N: 311565
Valid Date: 27.03.2020
Community Council: Guilsfield Community Council
Applicant: Bradley and Bradley-Barnard
Location: Fairview Garage, Guilsfield, Welshpool, Powys, SY21 9ND
Proposal: Erection of 9 dwellings to include demolition of former garage buildings
Application Type: Outline planning
County Councillor D Jones spoke as the local representative. Mr D Hughes spoke as the Agent.
The Senior Planning Officer advised that if the Committee was minded to approve the application the conditions were those detailed in the Update report.
In response to questions the Built Heritage Officer advised that she had no objections to the previously withdrawn application which had heights between 6 and 8 metres. The current application was originally for heights of up to 9 metres and she raised objections to this. However, these had been amended with maximum heights of 8 metres. As a result, she had no objections to the application. She advised that CADW comments are in respect of the ancient monument and the registered park and garden, which is the graveyard of the church and they do not comment on listed buildings or conservation areas.
The Senior Planning Officer advised that all matters regarding design, layout and scale would be considered under reserved matters and the Built Heritage Officer will be consulted in respect of the design and officers will work to get a design that is a benefit to the conservation area. In response to questions the Highways Authority clarified that there is insufficient public utility on the site and the indicative layout does not meet the criteria for acceptability as an adoptable road. It was noted that the sentence in the report [page 13] was incorrect. The sentence should have read “The indicative layout does not meet the criteria for acceptability as an adoptable road, in that there is insufficient public utility.”
In response to questions about density of dwellings, the Senior Planning Officer advised that density was a material consideration. The application proposes apartments which results in a higher density and the policy is based on developments involving only houses. The higher density was acceptable in a large village.
It was moved and duly seconded to approve the application as recommended by the officer in the update report.
County Councillor D Jones re-joined the meeting. County Councillor L Corfield left the meeting for the next item.

It was moved and duly seconded to approve the amendments to the Planning Protocol.
