Proposal: Residential development of 32 units and associated works
Application Type: Full application
The Committee noted that this was a brown field site and that there was demand for housing in the area. In response to a question regarding play facilities the Senior Planning Officer advised that the equipped play area at Afon House was within the 600m accessibility buffer zone identified within the Council’s Open Space Assessment (2018) and therefore no further provision was required from this application.
It was noted that the application was for 100% affordable housing. The Senior Planning Officer advised, in response to a question, that LDP Policy H5 requires that housing development proposals, within the Severn Valley sub-market area, are required to make a 20% contribution towards affordable housing. Therefore, the recommended condition only relates to this percentage. A question was asked about the long-term ownership of the homes and the Professional Lead Planning advised the long-term plans of the Housing Department were not known and were not a planning issue.
It was moved and duly seconded to approve the application as recommended by the officer.

Location: The Old Orchard, Llanigon, Hereford, Powys, HR3 5PN
Proposal: Erection of a new 4 bedroom dwelling and associated work
Application Type: Full application
County Councillor W Lloyd spoke as the local representative. Mr O Metcalfe spoke as the applicant.
In response to comments the Principal Planning Officer advised that the application was for an open market development in the open countryside, rather than a rural enterprise dwelling and as a result the issues for consideration were different. The Professional Lead Planning advised that Technical Advice Note [TAN] 6 stated that a development in the open countryside had to be either a rural enterprise dwelling or an affordable dwelling. This application was for neither. In response to questions regarding the agricultural land classification, the Principal Planning Officer advised that it was predicted that the land classification was grade 2, which is the best agricultural land. It was noted it was for the applicant to test the soil to determine the land classification.
The Committee was reminded that it had to have sound planning reasons to go against officer’s recommendation and going against policy. It was moved and duly seconded to refuse the application as recommended by the officer.
It was moved and duly seconded to defer consideration of the application to enable the applicant to undertake soil sampling to determine the land classification. This was lost when put to the vote.
It was moved and duly seconded to refuse the application as recommended by the officer.
