(Councillor Garry Hunt left the meeting during consideration of this application in accordance with his personal and prejudicial interest) APPLICATION REFUSED 20/00187/MJR – LLANDAFF Land at De Braose Closer, Danescourt, Cardiff Residential development comprising 36 dwellings together with associated infrastructure, public open space and woodland management (Councillor Adrian Robson t left the meeting during consideration of this application in accordance with his prejudicial interest) REASON: This application was considered Planning Committee on 7 December 2023. It was resolved to defer the application to the next meeting of the Committee for reasons for refusal based on the objections raised by the Committee. The application was refused for the following reasons: 1. The development, by reason of its location within a significant identified area of Open Space, would exacerbate the existing deficiency of Open Space within the Llandaff ward, as identified by the Open Space Survey (2022), contrary to the provisions of Policy C4 of the adopted Local Development Plan (2016) and guidance contained within Planning Policy Wales (Edition 11, February 2021) (paragraph 4.5.3). 2. The creation of an extensive, engineered vehicular access through the significant woodland, including the removal of trees, would cause unacceptable harm to the established character and appearance of the existing mature and established woodland and public footpath network which cannot be mitigated by replanting, or the translocation scheme proposed, or outweighed by any other benefits of the development. The proposal is therefore contrary to the provisions of KP5, EN6, EN7 and EN8 of the Local Development Plan (2016), Supplementary Planning Guidance Green Infrastructure (including Technical Guidance Notes relating to: Ecology and Biodiversity and; Trees and Development) (November 2017), as well as Chapter 6 of Planning Policy Wales (Edition 11, February 2021 – with Chapter 6 updated October 2023) and Policy 9 (Resilient Ecological Networks and Green Infrastructure) of Future Wales: The National Plan 2040. 3. The development, by virtue of its siting and the quality of proposed connections for both walking and cycling, does not provide safe, legible and otherwise well designed connectivity to nearby shops, facilities and schools for the proposed affordable housing development, contrary to Policies KP5, T1 and C6 of the adopted Local Development Plan (2016) and guidance within the adopted Cardiff Residential Design Guide
