RESOLVED – T H A T under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972,
the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following item of
business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information
as defined in Part 4 of Schedule 12A (as amended) of the Act, the relevant
paragraphs of the Schedule being referred to in brackets after the minute heading.
RESOLVED –
(1) T H A T interviews be undertaken under Part II of the agenda in relation to
the post of Operational Manager (Statutory Head of) Democratic Services and for
Elected Members of the Committee to make a final determination to appoint a
suitable candidate.
(2) T H A T residual appointment details be delegated, as appropriate, to the
Chief Executive, in consultation with the Director of Corporate Resources, should
a suitable applicant be confirmed by Elected Members of the Committee.
Reasons for decisions
(1) To ensure an appointment to the post was conducted in accordance with
the Council's Constitution.
(2) To ensure that all Council functions were met within this area.
RESOLVED –
(1) T H A T the Head of Legal and Democratic Services be authorised to issue
an Enforcement Notice under Section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act
1990 (as amended) to require:
(i) Demolish and remove the raised terrace and bar structures located
in front of the principal elevation of the property.
Minutes - AR
No.
(ii) Remove from the land all items and materials resulting from the
undertaking step (i).
(2) T H A T in the event of non-compliance with the Notice, authorisation is
also sought to take such legal proceedings as may be required.
Reason for Recommendation
(1) It appears to the Council that the above breach of planning control
constituting operational development consisting of the construction of a raised
decking structure and bar structure, has occurred within the last 4 years.
(2) The development has been undertaken within the curtilage of a residential
property within the settlement boundary where development is expected to be of a
high standard of design that positively contributes to the context and character of
the surrounding natural and built environment and is of a scale, form, layout, and
character that is sympathetic to and respects its immediate setting and wider
surroundings.
The unauthorised structures are considered to be unacceptable as they detract
from the character of the existing property and its setting and have an adverse
impact on the wider street scene. Furthermore, the raised terrace results in an
adverse impact upon neighbouring amenity through harmful levels of overlooking
and the perception of overlooking from those making use of the raised terrace.
The development is therefore considered to conflict with policies SP1 (Delivering
the Strategy) SP10 (Built and Natural Environment), MD2 (Design of New
Development) and MD5 (Development within Settlement Boundaries), of the Vale
of Glamorgan Adopted Local Development Plan 2011-2026, the Council’s
Supplementary Planning Guidance on Residential & Householder Development,
PPW Edition 12 (2024) and Technical Advice Note 12 (Design).
(3) 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.

property located within the Cowbridge Conservation Area and Settlement

A Section 211 Notice was submitted which sought the removal of a sycamore tree
located to the rear of the property, due to concerns stated that it is was likely that
the union of tree would fail (under ref. 2024/00201/TCA).
Due to the notable amenity value of the group that the Sycamore tree was located
within, its condition, life expectancy and the tree’s visibility from Melbourne Close

override the reasons in favour of confirmation of the TPO. Therefore, it was
recommended that the TPO be confirmed without modification.
