The Principal Planning Officer advised that since the update report had been circulated a further seven letters of support had been received.
County Councillor A Jenner spoke as the local representative. Mrs D Stevens spoke as an objector. Mr T Williams spoke as the agent.
In response to questions the Principal Planning Officer confirmed that sufficient car parking facilities were available. The Highways Officer advised that no additional infrastructure was required on the highway as the number of vehicle movements associated with the development was not increasing above the capacity of the existing Church.
The Principal Planning Officer advised that special regard should be given to the Listed Church but given the financial and community benefits to the Church this was considered to be an acceptable development on balance.
In response to questions regarding permitted development rights the Principal Planning Officer advised that the applicant may currently hold weddings on 28 days in any calendar year. Under permitted development rights there are no controls on any issues such as the number of guests or when the marque can be erected. If the Committee were minded to approve the application a range of conditions are recommended including the number of guests, noise levels and a S106 agreement.
The clarity of the S106 agreement was questioned and the Principal Planning Officer advised that if the Committee was minded to approve the application the S106 could be made clearer by including in addition “that no camping is permitted on the night of a wedding”. In response to a question about whether financial viability should be taken into account as a material planning consideration, the Principal Planning Officer advised the financial benefits considered were in respect of the viability of the church. The Built Heritage Officer advised that CADW guidance stated that the communal benefits of an application could be considered.
It was moved and duly seconded to approve the application as recommended by the officer and that it be delegated to the Professional Lead Planning in consultation with the Chair to amend the S106 to include reference to the fact that no camping is permitted on the night of a wedding.
