It was RESOLVED to confirm as a true record the Minutes of the Meeting of 10 May 2023. Matters arising None.
Consideration was given to the Report of the Corporate Lead Officer – Economy and Regeneration on the following planning applications which had been considered at a previous meeting and which required further consideration by the Committee:- A220398 Proposed infill dwelling, Land Adjacent Uwch-y-nant Borth For the recommendation to REFUSE the application:- Mark Strong (1) Against the recommendation to REFUSE the application :- Gethin Davies, Ifan Davies, Marc Davies, Meirion Davies, Rhodri Davies, Rhodri Evans, Hugh Hughes, Maldwyn Lewis, Gareth Lloyd, Sian Maehrlein , Chris James (11) Following the vote, the decision therefore was to APPROVE the application subject to the removal of permitted development rights. To APPROVE the application subject to conditions and completion of S106 agreement under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 in respect of affordable housing designation. Members did not agree with the recommendation of the Officers and were of the opinion that the application could be approved for the following reasons:- • there were other material considerations in this case that would justify approving the application contrary to officer recommendation, firstly, whilst acknowledging that the site lies outside of the defined settlement boundaries, Members noted however that the site lies within very close proximity to the settlement, where there were adequate services and facilities available to serve the daily needs of the future occupiers. • Members saw the proximity of Borth as a Rural Service Centre as being an important factor in this case, which was different to the cases previously considered by the group, which have had a more rural context • that the plot had built form to either side, thereby representing an infilling opportunity as opposed to a more sporadic or ribboning form of development. • Additionally, Members also commented that the site also lies within very close proximity to Brynowen Holiday Park. • Members placed significant weight on the fact that consent had been given on two occasions in the past for the residential development of this site. Notwithstanding the fact that these consents have now lapsed, Members considered that a precedent had been set by these previous planning permissions. • Members concerned that there had been a lack of housing delivery within the settlement itself and they were of the opinion that the Council needed to deliver as many affordable homes as possible, as local people were being priced out of the market. • in conclusion therefore, Members considered that there were other material considerations in this case that were sufficient to outweigh the policy presumption against the development.

Members did not agree with the recommendation of the Officers and were of the opinion that the application could be approved for the following reasons:- • On balance providing two affordable dwellings was a high percentage in the development • There were no housing developments on the coast and rural settlements coming forward, and therefore the affordable dwellings were justified in the Link Settlement, as there was a need • There was a shop, bus route, 2 schools nearby, chapel and community facilities in this link settlement ________________________________________________________________ A220714 Demolition of existing produce shop to be replaced with new shop and first floor flat, Parc y Pant Produce Shop, Cross Inn, New To APPROVE the application subject to conditions.
