The following Ward Councillors addressed the Committee in favour of the application and emphasised the economic, employment and tourism benefits for the County Borough. · Councillor Andrew Barry · Council Leader Brent Carter · Councillor Gareth Lewis · Councillor Julia Jenkins In response to questions from committee members, Planning Officers advised that: · The wording of Condition 24 will be changed from ‘development shall not commence’ to ‘prior to beneficial occupation’ as this allows the development to proceed more naturally without unnecessary delays. · Work on drafting the Section 106 agreement will start immediately and shouldn’t take an inordinate amount of time and should be resolved quickly as there are no major disputes. · There has been no change in the Council ecologist’s position since March 2025, and detailed mitigation and compensation measures will be addressed through the Section 106 agreement and discharge of conditions. · Officers did not go through every condition with the applicant; however, some changes were made based on applicants feedback and further amendments can be handled later via Section 73 applications under delegated authority. · Officers do not believe a formal sub-committee is necessary for drafting conditions, but improved communication and transparency during the process would help counter misinformation. · The number of conditions is standard for a development of this scale, and it is expected that applications to discharge conditions will start coming in within months, not years. Resolved that: The application be approved subject to the conditions outlined in the report, a Section 106 agreement and the amendment to Condition 24.

The Planning Officer D Cross presented the outline application and provided the committee with a power point presentation outlining the application. The applicant Meryl lewis address the committee and outlined the benefits, heritage strategy and the economic impact of the development. In response to questions from elected members, the applicant confirmed that: · A capacity study had been carried out on the site, and the maximum is number of properties is 441 but there is potential for it to be less however they hope to be able to achieve the maximum. · In relation to heritage and community engagement the applicant confirmed willingness to engage with the local community during the discharge of conditions. It was also confirmed that plans included retaining significant features such as the Hoover signage and potentially replicating the Art Deco design in new community buildings. · Before demolition, we will explore which elements can be reused (e.g. Hoovers letters as public art) Ward Councillor Andrew Barry addressed the Committee in favour of the application and emphasised the economic, regeneration and employment benefits for the County Borough. In response to questions from committee members, Planning Officers advised that: · The cricket pitch is on private land and not protected as open space withing the LDP. There is however mitigation as approx. 1.79 hectares of open space will be provided across the new site. · The Metro station is not part of the application; however, the land is safeguarded for potential provision by Transport for Wales. · The Education department raised no objection to the application and projections show there will be additional capacity within schools in the future. There will also be additional capacity for the Welsh-medium provision as there are plans for an additional Welsh-medium Primary School in the County Borough. · The Health Board were consulted during LDP preparation and no objections were received. As the Health Board typically acts reactively approval of the scheme is likely to trigger a review of GP/dentist capacity. · The proposed density of 35-40 dwellings per hectare is achievable and similar to the Dragon Park Development but will also include open spaces and community hub areas. · The Hoover frontage is not listed or statutorily protected, it will be difficult to retain in situ, but design could replicate the Art Deco style, and the signage may be reused as public art within the development. · The former carpark site as a large electricity pylon and this is the reason it’s been allocated for employment use rather than housing. Resolved that: The application be approved subject to the conditions outlined within the report.

Rhaid i gynghorwyr ddweud pan fydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad personol â rhywbeth sy'n cael ei drafod, fel swydd, eiddo neu aelod o'r teulu. Mae buddiant sy'n rhagfarnu yn ddigon cryf i'r cynghorydd adael yr ystafell fel arfer a pheidio â chymryd rhan.
Caiff datganiadau eu darllen o'r cofnodion unwaith y byddan nhw wedi'u cyhoeddi.
