Grid Ref: E: 296333 N: 236259 Valid Date: 27.11.2025 Community Council: Merthyr Cynog Community Applicant: Garreg Fawr Energy Park Ltd Location: Land South of Ffynnon Ffrydyll (spring), Merthyr Cynog, Brecon, Powys. Proposal: Application for temporary planning permission for the erection of a meteorological mast of up to 122.5m in height and ancillary structures for measurement of wind and weather data, with associated stockproof fencing, for a period of five years Application Type: Full Application It was noted that this application had initially been considered in July 2026 and was deferred to allow the new local member to become familiar with the application.

Frantz-Morgans, G. E. Jones, C. Kenyon-Wade, K. Lewis, G. Pugh and D. Selby. The Planning Officer noted that there had been no changes made to the application since it had been considered in July 2026. Members sought clarification regarding concerns raised in relation to curlew habitat and the continuing objection from Bannau Brycheiniog National Park Authority. The Ecologist advised that the proposed mitigation measures were considered to represent industry standard practice and was satisfied that they were appropriate. The Planning Officer advised that the statutory consultee, Natural Resources Wales (NRW), had concluded that the proposal would not result in significantly adverse visual effects, and consequently greater weight had been attached to NRW’s assessment. Members raised significant concerns on low flying military aircraft including visual impacts and aviation lighting, the Planning Officer explained that the MOD had raised no objections and had instead requested conditions requiring an aviation lighting scheme and advance notice prior to the erection of the mast. It was proposed and seconded to refuse the application contrary to the Officer recommendation, following officer advice the Chair advised that the reasons advanced in support of a refusal against officer recommendation were not sufficiently robust planning grounds. The motion was not put to the vote. It was moved and duly seconded to approve the application as per Officer recommendation.

RESOLVED: Reason for decision: that the application be granted consent, subject to the conditions set out in the report which is filed with the signed minutes.

Valid Date: 05/05/2026 Community Council: Beguildy Community Council Applicant: Mr and Mrs Raybould Location: Trenewydd, Felindre, Knighton, LD7 1YR Proposal: Section 73 application to remove condition 2 of planning permission R1117/C (occupancy restriction) Application Type: Removal/variation of conditions The Planning Officer advised that, although the application concerned the same occupancy restriction as a previous application, the circumstances were different. As a reserved matters consent is not a planning permission in its own right, any conditions attached to it must relate to the reserved matters being approved. As the occupancy restriction did not relate to any reserved matters, it should not have been attached to the consent. The condition was therefore considered not to meet the relevant planning tests. It was moved and duly seconded to approve the application as recommended by the Officer. RESOLVED: Reason for decision: that the application be granted consent, subject to the conditions set out in the report which is filed with the signed minutes. As officer’s recommendation as set out in the report which is filed with the signed minutes.
