Applicant: Ms E Hammel
Location: The Slangs, Cascob, Presteigne, Powys, LD8 2NT
Proposal: Erection of a livestock barn and formation of a new vehicular access road
Application Type: Full Application
Councillor H Lewis spoke as the local representative. Mrs M Beese spoke on behalf of the community against the application. Rev M Beaton, on behalf of the Church, spoke against the application. Ms E Hammel spoke as the applicant.
In response to questions the Planning Officer advised that the enforcement action regarding another part of the site was a separate issue. The Solicitor reiterated this and advised that the outcome of this application cannot be influenced by the enforcement action.
The Professional Lead Development Management advised that in respect of agricultural buildings planning policies do not normally require the submission of business plans. The Committee needs to consider the landscape and visual impact of the building. If the Committee was minded to approve the application Development Management advised that condition 12 should be amended to secure details of the cut and build to be submitted.
It was noted that this was a large building on 6 acres.
It was moved and duly seconded that the application be refused as this was a substantial building which would have an adverse landscape and visual impact and that it be delegated to the Professional Lead Development Management to finalise the exact wording of the reason for refusal.
County Councillor H Lewis resumed his seat in the Committee.
The Chair changed the order of applications to accommodate speakers and the public present.

Application Type: Outline planning
Mrs C Davies, Clerk Llandrinio and Arddleen Community Council spoke in support of the application. Mr R Corbett spoke as the Agent.
The Professional Lead Development Management advised that he had brought this to Committee as the criteria relating to the consideration of rural settlements, as set out in the Strategic Policy SP5 of the Local Development Plan [LDP] and the Supplementary Planning Guidance [SPG] had not been tested before and he wanted to ensure that Development Management had consistency going forward.
The Committee needed to consider whether the grouping of houses in the settlement of Penrhos constituted a rural settlement for the purpose of the LDP. The Solicitor reminded the Committee that the personal circumstances of the applicants cannot be considered, unless there were exceptional circumstances and none had been presented with this application.
In response to questions the Professional Lead Development Management advised that if the application were approved this would set a standard on which officers could consider future applications. It was noted that an application for an open market development would be refused.
It was moved and duly seconded that the application be approved as the rural settlement had at least 10 dwelling closely grouped together and that it be delegated to the Professional Lead Development Management to agree conditions in conjunction with the Chair and Vice Chair. The motion was put to the vote and duly lost.

Decisions of the Head of Regeneration and Regulatory Services on Delegated Applications PDF 128 KB To receive for information a list of decisions made by the Head of Regeneration and Regulatory Services under delegated powers.
Minutes: The Committee received for information a list of decisions made by the Head of Regeneration and Regulatory Services during the period between 9 January, 2019 and 31 January, 2019. It was noted that application 18/0544/FUL [page 149] had been considered by the Committee at the last meeting and not as a delegated decision.
The Committee received the following verbal updates: · P/2016/0397 Lower House Poultry Farm, Clyro – the Principal Planning Officer advised that in October complaints were received regarding the location of the fans etc. on the building. These issues had been discussed with the Environmental Health Officer and as a result Non Material Amendments regarding the design and an odour management plan had been submitted. These were now being considered by Environmental Health. The Officer advised that they had been informed that birds had been brought into the building during the last few days. If Environmental Health object to the information provided and that there was evidence of harm, formal enforcement action is likely to be pursued. In response to the Committee’s concerns that the developers were undertaking developments with no regard to conditions the Professional Lead Development Management advised that until the legislation changed to enable action to be taken whenever a breach occurs regardless of expediency, Development Management needs to ensure it follows correct procedures. · P/2015/0186 Mellowcroft, Llandegley – the Solicitor advised that the Public Inquiry had upheld the enforcement notices. As the owner had not complied with these he had been prosecuted for non-compliance. The owner had elected to go to trial at Crown Court and the hearing will take place at the end of February. · Hendy windfarm - the Solicitor reported that CPRW’s (Brecon & Radnor) application for judicial review of the Welsh Minister’s decision had been dismissed. CPRW has appealed and an oral hearing in front of a Judge will take place on 25 February, 2019.
