Minutes of the previous meeting PDF 320 KB To authorise the Chair to sign the minutes of the previous meeting of the Committee held on 22 January 2021 as a correct record. Minutes: County Councillor P Pritchard challenged the accuracy of the minutes in relation to the Neuadd Maldwyn application saying that they made no mention of the points that he had made regarding access to Chalfont. It was acknowledged that Councillor Pritchard had made these comments but that the minutes were not intended to be a verbatim account of the debate.
The Professional Lead for Planning requested a number of amendments to the minutes:
20/0659/FUL Neuadd Maldwyn, Severn Road, Welshpool, SY21 7AS
The decision should read

A reference to bin storage should be included in the text.
On item 7, second paragraph, the first sentence should be amended to read “NRW’s evidence found no direct link between phosphate and intensive livestock units”.
Subject to these amendments, the Chair was authorised to sign the minutes of the last meeting held on 22nd January 2021 as a correct record. County Councillor Phil Pritchard voted against and County Councillor Jon Williams abstained as he had not been at the meeting.

Location: Frochas Farm, Frochas, Welshpool, Powys, SY21 9JD
Proposal: Erection of a broiler installation and silos, formation of a vehicular access and associated works
Application Type: Full Application
County Councillor G Breeze spoke as the local representative.
Councillor Alison Davies spoke on behalf Welshpool Town Council who opposed the application.
Kirsten Campbell-Morris spoke against the application.
Duncan Hamer spoke against the application.
The applicant, John Owen, and agent, Gerallt Davies, spoke in support of the application.
Officers were asked if adverse impact on the landscape of the development was an acceptable reason for refusal and were advised that it was. Officers were also asked about access to the site. Members pointed out that whilst there were passing bays, there was a pinch point where two articulated lorries would not be able to pass. Officers advised that they did not have information on the route that feed and birds would be taken to the site and whether or not this would be through Welshpool or via Guilsfield as the Applicant was not required to specify this.
Members asked about the impact of odour from manure spreading on the neighbouring garden nursery business and were advised that measurements could only be taken from buildings and not the land where manure was spread or the grounds of the nursery. Manure was currently spread on the site.
Members asked about rights of way and were advised that the application involved the extinguishing and diversion of two rights of way. Countryside Services were content that they could be diverted but this could not be made a condition of the application as it was a different legal process. Members also asked about the comments of the Built Heritage Officer and were advised that these related to the listed buildings at Llanerchydol Hall and not to the Historic Park and Garden which is Cadw’s remit.
It was moved and duly seconded that the application be refused on the grounds of adverse impact on the landscape.
The Vice-Chair County Councillor Gareth Jones returned to the meeting.
