(Design of New Development) of the Vale of Glamorgan Local Development
Plan 2011-2026 and Planning Policy Wales.
10. The drainage scheme for the site shall ensure that all foul and surface water
discharges separately from the site and that land drainage run-off shall not
discharge, either directly or indirectly, into the public sewerage system.
Reason:
To prevent hydraulic overloading of the public sewerage system, pollution of
the environment and to protect the health and safety of existing residents and
ensure no detriment to the environment and to comply with the terms of Policy
/ Policies SP1 (Delivering the Strategy) / MD1 (Location of New Development)
of the Local Development Plan.
11. No development on the site shall commence until the following components of

to demonstrate that the works set out in the remediation strategy in (3) are
complete and identifying any requirements for longer-term monitoring of
pollutant linkages, maintenance, and arrangements for contingency action.
The remediation strategy and its relevant components shall be carried out in
accordance with the approved details.
Reason:
To ensure the risks associated with contamination at the site have been fully
considered prior to commencement of development as controlled waters are
of high environmental sensitivity; and where necessary remediation measures
and long-term monitoring are implemented to prevent unacceptable risks from
contamination and to ensure compliance with Policy MD7 (Environmental
Protection) of the adopted Local Development Plan.
12. Prior to the occupation of the development a verification report demonstrating
completion of works set out in the approved remediation strategy and the
effectiveness of the remediation shall be submitted to and approved in writing
by the Local Planning Authority. The report shall include results of sampling
and monitoring carried out in accordance with the approved verification plan to

that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to
workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors and to ensure compliance
with the provisions of MD7 of the adopted Local Development Plan.
13. If, during development, contamination not previously identified is found to be
present at the site then no further development (unless otherwise agreed in
writing with the Local Planning Authority) shall be carried out until a
remediation strategy detailing how this unsuspected contamination shall be
dealt with has been submitted to and approved in writing by the Local
Planning Authority. The remediation strategy shall be carried out as approved.
Reason

the site are dealt with through a remediation strategy, to minimise the risk to
both future users of the land and neighbouring land, and to ensure that the
development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks and to
ensure compliance with the provisions of MD7 of the adopted Local
Development Plan.
14. Piling or any other foundation designs using penetrative methods shall not be
permitted other than with the express written consent of the Local Planning
Authority, which may be given for those parts of the site where it has been
demonstrated that there is no resultant unacceptable risk to groundwater. The
development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.

18. No development shall take place until the applicant, or their agents or
successors in title, has secured implementation of a programme of
archaeological work in accordance with that out-lined in “Picketstone, Bro
Tathan, Vale of Glamorgan: Written Scheme of Investigation for Historic
Building Recording of part of Building 858 and Attenuation pond
archaeological watching brief (Heneb The Trust for Welsh Archaeology
Glamorgan Gwent Archaeology, dated August 2025, reference 2025/031).
Reason:
In order that archaeological operations are undertaken to an
acceptable standard and that legitimate archaeological interest in the
site is satisfied and to ensure compliance with Policies SP1 (Delivering
the Strategy), SP10 (Built and Natural Environment) and MD8 (Historic
Environment) of the Local Development Plan.
Reason for decision
The decision to recommend planning permission has been taken in accordance with
Section 38 of The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, which requires that,
in determining a planning application the determination must be in accordance with
the Development Plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The
Development Plan for the area comprises the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Local
Development Plan 2011-2026 and Future Wales – the National Plan 2040.
Having regard to Policies SP1 – Delivering the Strategy, MG9 – Employment
Allocations, MD2 - Design of New Development, MD7 - Environmental Protection,
MD16 - Protection of existing Employment Sites and Premises of the Adopted Local
Development Plan 2011-2026, it is considered that the proposal is acceptable in
relation to the principle of development, siting, scale, design and materials, access
and parking, impact on residential amenity and neighbouring units, flooding and
drainage and ecology.
Having regard to the Council’s duties under the Equality Act 2010 the proposed
development does not have any significant implications for, or effect on, persons
who share a protected characteristic.
It is considered that the decision complies with the Council’s well-being objectives
and the sustainable development principle in accordance with the requirements of
the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.
The appropriate marine policy documents have been considered in the determination
of this application in accordance with Section 59 of the Marine and Coastal Access
Act 2009.
2024/00534/FUL Received on 3 November 2025
(P. 57)
APPLICANT: Kimberley Danter The Boat House, Symonds Yat, HR9 6BZ
AGENT: Laurence Clarke 6 Grove Place, Penarth, CF64 2ND
Land on Hayes Road, Sully.
Approximately 2.5 hectares of vehicle and container storage, with approximately 1.2
hectares of rewilding and planting in the southwest of the site and along the
boundary.
The application was required to be determined by Planning Committee under the
Council’s approved scheme of delegation because the application was of a scale
and / or nature that was not covered by the scheme of delegation.
REFUSED
1. Given the sparse layout and the limited employment being provided by the
development (up to one full time and one part time employee), the
development is considered an inefficient use of allocated employment land
and is therefore contrary to the aims of Policies MG9 (Employment
Allocations) and MD15 (Protection of Allocated Employment Sites) of the Vale
of Glamorgan Adopted Local Development Plan (2011 - 2026).
2. Insufficient information has been submitted, including the submission of
accurate ground levels, to demonstrate that the proposed development would
not have an unacceptable impact on the visual amenity of the site and
surroundings and therefore the scheme as submitted is considered to conflict
with Policy MD2 (Design of New Development) of the Vale of Glamorgan
Adopted Local Development Plan (2011-2026).
3. The application site has been subjected to a significant loss of vegetation, and
the Green Infrastructure Statement has failed to demonstrate that the step-
wise approach as set out in Chapter 6 of Planning Policy Wales (Edition 12)
has been followed. Whilst the loss of trees and vegetation is irreversible,
insufficient information has been submitted to provide a baseline for the
previous state of the site, as well as a survey of existing mature trees and
vegetation together with a preliminary ecological assessment, to demonstrate
that the proposals would have an acceptable impact on existing trees and the
ecological value of the site. It has therefore not been demonstrated that the
proposals would secure a net benefit in terms of biodiversity and the
development is therefore considered contrary to Policies MG19 (Sites and
Species of European Importance), MG20 (Nationally Protected Sites and
Species) and MD9 (Promoting Biodiversity) of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted
Local Development Plan (2011-2026), as well as Chapter 6 of Planning Policy
Wales (Edition 12), and the Council's Supplementary Planning Guidance on
Trees, Woodland, Hedgerows and Development (2025) and Biodiversity and
Development (2018).
4. Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposals
would have an acceptable impact on highway safety, including the omission of
swept paths, which are required to demonstrate that the junction with Hayes
Road would operate safely and that the site could be safely navigated by
HGVs. A turning area has also not been provided within the site, to ensure
vehicles can exit in a forward gear and it has also not been demonstrated that
the internal roads would maintain a width of 7.3m and incorporate pedestrian
facilities. The application also lacks a transport statement to assess the
impact of additional trips to the site on the highway network and engineering
drawing detailing the proposed new access arrangement has also not been
provided. As such, the proposals are considered contrary to criterion 6 of
Policy MD2 of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Local Development Plan
(2011-2026).
5. Insufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the proposal
would adequately protect the amenity of neighbouring occupiers, in particular
how noise impacts would be mitigated to safeguard the amenity of adjoining
sensitive residential uses. The proposal therefore fails to demonstrate
compliance with criteria 8 of Policy MD2 (Design of New Development) of the
Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Local Development Plan (2011-2026).
Reason for decision
The decision to refuse planning permission has been taken in accordance with
Section 38 of The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, which requires that,
in determining a planning application the determination must be in accordance with
the Development Plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The
Development Plan for the area comprises the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Local
Development Plan 2011-2026 and Future Wales – the National Plan 2040.
Having regard to the Council’s duties under the Equality Act 2010 the proposed
development does not have any significant implications for, or effect on, persons
who share a protected characteristic.
It is considered that the decision complies with the Council’s well-being objectives
and the sustainable development principle in accordance with the requirements of
the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.
The appropriate marine policy documents have been considered in the determination
of this application in accordance with Section 59 of the Marine and Coastal Access
Act 2009.

RESOLVED: To note the Terms of Reference for the Appointment Committee.
To discharge the functions of the authority in respect of the appointment and dismissal of Chief Officers and Deputy Chief Officers (as defined in the Local Authorities (Standing Orders) (Wales) Regulations 2006) and the statutory Head of Democratic Services, in accordance with the Employment Procedure Rules and other relevant Council policies and procedures.
RESOLVED: That the public be excluded during the discussion on the following item of business on the grounds that, if members of the public were present during the discussion, because of the nature of the business to be transacted there would be disclosure to them of the exempt information as defined in Part 4 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 and as described below:
Paragraph 12 – Information relating to an applicant to become an employee of the Authority; and
Paragraph 13 – Information which was likely to reveal the identity of an individual.
RESOLVED – That the Sub Committee, having considered the application on its individual merits, the committee papers, the Licensing Act 2003, the Section 182 guidance, the council’s Statement of Licensing Policy, submissions made by the applicant and all other parties, and the oral evidence given by the applicant and objectors during the hearing in its determination of the matter, REFUSED the application.
Members noted that the applicant demonstrated a significant lack of understanding of the licensing objectives and the legal requirements of the licensing regime. In particular, the applicant was unable to explain the licensing objectives when asked and provided inconsistent information regarding the operating hours of the premises. In particular, the applicant initially suggested that the premises had previously operated until 3am, which was later clarified as incorrect following advice from the Licensing Officer, and subsequently revised again during the hearing. The Sub Committee considered that this inconsistency reduced the weight that could be attached to the applicant’s evidence.
Members further noted that the applicant was unable to provide clear or detailed explanations as to how the licensing objectives would be promoted. In particular, limited detail was provided in relation to staff training, with reliance placed on unspecified training to be delivered by a franchisor, without any clear understanding of its content or implementation. There was insufficient evidence of measures to manage customers during late night hours, including how difficult or intoxicated individuals would be dealt with. No robust dispersal policy or noise management measures were outlined, despite the premises seeking to operate until the early hours of the morning. The Sub Committee also found that the applicant did not demonstrate an understanding of the risks associated with late-night operation in a busy and densely populated area.
The Sub Committee took into account the representations of the Ward Member, who highlighted existing issues on Crwys Road relating to noise, anti-social behaviour, and crime, particularly during late night hours. It was noted that the road already contained a substantial number of licensed premises and that residents had raised complaints about disturbance, waste management, and sleep disruption. The Sub Committee considered that the introduction of an additional premises operating until 3am was likely to add to the potential for noise and disturbance in the area, particularly in the absence of robust control measures.
Whilst the Sub Committee acknowledged the applicant’s submission that the premises had not previously been the source of complaints, it gave this limited weight given that the premises had not been operating under a premises licence permitting late-night refreshment beyond 11pm.
The Sub Committee also gave weight to the fact that this was the applicant’s first experience of the licensing process. However, this did not outweigh the concerns regarding the lack of understanding and the absence of appropriate safeguards.
Having carefully considered all of the evidence, the Sub Committee was not satisfied that the applicant had demonstrated that the licensing objectives would be promoted. In particular, the Sub Committee found that granting the application would be likely to undermine the prevention of crime and disorder and the prevention of public nuisance, having regard to the nature of the area, the proposed hours, and the lack of adequate control measures.
The Sub Committee resolved to refuse the application.
RESOLVED – T H A T the draft Statement of Licensing Policy be approved and the
Policy referred to Cabinet and Full Council for final approval.
Reason for decision
To ensure that the Licensing Authority fulfilled its duty under the Licensing Act 2003.
RESOLVED – T H A T having regard to the report, the Guidelines adopted by the
Public Protection Licensing Committee and the representations made by the
Applicant, Members determined that the Applicant was not a fit and proper person to
hold a hackney carriage and private hire vehicle driver’s licence.
Reason for decision
Members found that there was insufficient information provided to them to constitute
grounds for departing from the adopted guidelines on determining the suitability of
applicants.
Penderfyniad: Cytunodd y Pwyllgor y bydd y Cadeirydd yn ysgrifennu at Aelod y Cabinet, ar ran y Pwyllgor, gyda'i sylwadau a'i argymhellion. Cafodd y cyhoedd ei wahardd o ran o'r eitem am fod y Pwyllgor wedi trafod gwybodaeth eithriedig, sef gwybodaeth y mae'r gyfraith yn caniatáu ei chadw'n breifat.
Penderfyniad: Nododd y Pwyllgor y dull o ddatblygu ei raglen waith ar gyfer 2026-27, ac y bydd fersiwn derfynol yn dod yn ôl i'w chymeradwyo'n ffurfiol. Nododd hefyd amserlen dyddiadau'r pwyllgor.
Penderfyniad: Cymeradwyodd y Pwyllgor y newidiadau llywodraethu arfaethedig, gyda'i ddiwygiadau ei hun. Y prif bwyntiau yw: (1) Bydd swyddogion yn penderfynu ar geisiadau i amrywio amodau, gwneud newidiadau bach, cyflawni amodau neu gymeradwyo materion a gadwyd yn ôl (manylion a adawyd tan yn ddiweddarach), oni bai bod y Pwyllgor yn gofyn yn ffurfiol i un ddychwelyd ato. (2) Bydd ceisiadau'n mynd at y Pwyllgor os ydynt ar gyfer 250 neu fwy o gartrefi, mwy na 2,500 metr sgwâr o ofod masnachol, safleoedd dros 10 hectar, neu ddatblygiadau mawr gyda Datganiad Effaith Amgylcheddol. (3) Y Cadeirydd fydd yn penderfynu ar geisiadau gan aelodau i gyfeirio cais, a rhaid iddo gadw cofnod o'r penderfyniadau a'r rhesymau a'i adrodd yn rheolaidd i'r Pwyllgor. (4) Gall y Cadeirydd ofyn i gais ddod at y Pwyllgor. (5) Ymgynghorir â'r Cadeirydd pan fo pum gwrthwynebiad neu fwy yn dod o bum aelwyd neu fwy. (6) Bydd pob cais gan swyddogion yn y Gwasanaeth Cynllunio sy'n gwneud penderfyniadau cynllunio yn mynd at y Pwyllgor. Caiff pob siaradwr 4 munud, a gall mwy nag un aelod ward siarad yn ôl disgresiwn y Cadeirydd. (10) Paratoir Cod Ymarfer Da Cynllunio i Aelodau wedi'i ddiweddaru a Chanllaw Cynllunio unigol. O ran deisebau, pleidleisiodd y Pwyllgor i argymell i'r Cabinet na ddylai deisebau â 50 neu fwy o lofnodion anfon cais at y Pwyllgor yn awtomatig mwyach. Yn hytrach, byddent yn mynd at y Pennaeth Cynllunio, mewn ymgynghoriad â'r Cadeirydd, a byddai'r Cynllun Deisebau yn eithrio ceisiadau dilynol neu dechnegol. Rhoddwyd awdurdod dirprwyedig i swyddogion gwblhau'r gwelliannau i'r Cyfansoddiad, sy'n mynd at y Pwyllgor Cyfansoddiad ac yna'r Cyngor llawn. Mae newidiadau'r Cynllun Deisebau yn mynd at y Pwyllgor Cyfansoddiad ac yna'r Cabinet. Rhoddwyd awdurdod i'r Pennaeth Cynllunio gwblhau'r nodiadau gweithdrefn a'r protocolau eraill. Anfonir cadarnhad o'r trefniadau terfynol at bob aelod.
