Minutes - KB
RESOLVED – That the following matters be dealt with as indicated:
(1)
Case 1
The Sub Committee was asked to consider whether a driver was a fit and proper person to hold a licence. It was revealed on renewal of his licence that he had failed previously to disclose a conviction which occurred while he was licensed.
On renewal of his licence the driver declared a conviction under the Fraud Act. A Disclosure Barring Service check revealed a conviction dated 11 November 2021 relating to a failure to declare a change of circumstances for Council Tax purposes.
The driver was asked to explain the circumstances. The driver’s representative stated that the driver had a friend who had recently become homeless. He came to stay temporarily with the driver, then the stay was extended to become a longer one intermittently between trips to Somalia.
The driver was not aware at the time that the arrangement was becoming a permanent one. When he became aware that he was in breach of Council Tax rules he pleaded guilty. He is currently repaying the Council Tax owed and relies on his job to pay.
As soon as he became aware that he should have notified the Local Authority of his conviction the driver sent an email detailing his guilty plea. This was confirmed by the Authority.
When questioned by members of the Sub Committee the driver explained that the homeless person he had accommodated was a single person, a taxi driver, and he stayed with the driver for around 10 months intermittently.
RESOLVED – That no further action be taken.
Councillor Driscoll declared an interest in the following item as a person was known to him. Cllr Driscoll withdrew from the meeting and took no part in the decision.
(2)
Case 2
The Sub Committee was asked to consider whether a driver was a fit and proper person to hold a licence after a complaint was received that he entered and travelled in the wrong direction down a one-way street and gestured at a Cardiff Council Road Safety Officer using his middle finger. The incident was observed by a member of the public, the head teacher of a primary school who was welcoming children being delivered to the school by parents.
The Sub Committee received representations from the complainant. The complainant described how he was cycling to his work as a Road Safety Officer when he saw the driver in his taxi approaching the wrong way down a one-way street. He dismounted and captured a video image of the taxi turning round and returning back up the lane. As he passed him the driver made a rude gesture with his middle finger and told him to ‘Get a life’. The member of the public had come over to where the Officer was and witnessed these events.
The driver was asked to present his account of the incident. He claimed that at the time of the incident in March there were no ‘No Entry’ signs at the beginning of the lane. As he drove down the lane he realised something was not right, so he drove slowly past the Road Safety Officer. A member of the public informed him he was travelling the wrong way down a one-way street. He carried out a 3-point turn in the road and returned in the opposite direction. As the weather was hot he wound down his window. The Road Safety Officer was running along beside his car. He could see the Officer had something in his hands but could not see it was a mobile phone. He thought he was under attack.
The driver stated that he was not dropping off a passenger but was passing through the area. He knew the area and had used the route before over the previous 12 years. He had recently come off a contract with Bad Wolf studios and had carried celebrities and High Court judges.
The driver denied having been sent emails and stated that they had been sent to the wrong address.
RESOLVED – That the driver be issued with a written warning regarding his conduct and reminded of his duties as a driver.
(3)
Case 3
The Sub Committee was asked to consider whether a driver was a fit and proper person to hold a licence. On renewal of his licence the driver declared a motoring conviction for driving without due care and attention. The offence occurred in 2020, however the driver did not notify the Authority at the time instead waiting for renewal.
The driver was asked to explain the circumstances. The driver’s representative stated that on the day of the offence the driver was approaching Coryton interchange at 1.30am in heavy rain. There were roadworks and the driver accidentally drove the wrong way into a diversion. Realising his mistake, he attempted to turn around and return the way he had come but was stopped by Police. The offence was uncontested, he paid a fine and had 5 points placed on his licence.
The driver admitted that he had not declared the conviction at the time it occurred but had declared it on renewal of his licence. He stated that he was now aware of what was required of him in terms of notification of convictions but had not been aware at the time. He had held a licence for 30 years and not previously been convicted of any motoring offences. He had been a licenced driver for 6 years and had not appeared before the Committee previously.
RESOLVED – To issue the driver with a written warning regarding his conduct.
(4)
Case 4
The Sub Committee was asked to consider whether a driver was a fit and proper person to hold a licence. On renewal of his licence it became apparent that a conviction was present for driving or allowing someone to use a vehicle uninsured for third party risk.
The driver was asked to explain the circumstances. The driver stated that he had not been driving a taxi or private hire vehicle at the time of the offence. He was working as a driver for a food delivery service and had previously been named on the company’s insurance as a driver of the vehicle. The ownership of the company had changed and the new owner had stopped the insurance for the van. The driver was unaware of this and only discovered it when he was stopped.
It was revealed in the course of questioning that there was an error in the papers before the Sub Committee and that the correct date of the offence was 9 May 2022.
RESOLVED – To issue the driver with a written warning.
(5)
Application 5
The Sub Committee was asked to consider an application in principle for the grant of private hire operator’s licence. The driver had previously held a licence which had subsequently been revoked.
The Sub Committee was presented with a report summarising the driver’s previous appearances before it and the circumstances surrounding them. These included a 6-month ban for ‘totting up’, a conviction for fraud against Cardiff City Council for claiming for transport services that were never carried out, and a conviction for plying for hire without a licence or insurance. They also included repeated refusals of applications for a Hackney carriage/private hire driver’s licence. The driver accepted that the facts contained in the report were accurate.
The driver was asked to explain the circumstances. The driver stated that he had made several applications for a licence but they had all been refused. He had waited patiently for the necessary period to elapse before applying again. He had studied and was fully cognisant with all the necessary information especially the law. He accepted in full his responsibility for his previous non-compliance. His offences were his fault and he offered no excuses for them. He assured the Sub Committee they would not be repeated
The driver stated that since losing his licence he had never been in trouble and had not been involved in any legal problems. He had been of good character for the past 7 years.
The driver stated that he had completed the necessary training for understanding and knowledge. The incident had been a lesson for him and had not been repeated. He was a better-informed person and posed no danger to the public. He had learnt a lot over the past 7 years.
The driver was questioned by members of the Sub Committee. He stated that at the time of his offences he was doing his job and did not focus. He had never had any such problems and never had any complaints from customers. He had already been punished for his offences.
The driver stated that at the time of his conviction for fraud he knew many drivers who did the same. He took responsibility for his actions.
The driver explained the circumstances behind his conviction for working without insurance. He had rented a car whose owner did not know the insurance had expired. He himself did not know the car was not insured.
The driver explained the circumstances behind his conviction for fraud. He had been contracted by the Council to transport children to and from school. He had given the job to one of his drivers and was unaware that they were not carrying out the work. When he was apprised of the situation he took responsibility.
The driver was challenged that the alleged job did not exist and that he had defrauded the Council out of a substantial sum. He had also hired a car without a licence. It was put to the driver that this demonstrated a wilful disregard for the law.
The driver responded that he was now aware of the law. It was put to him that he ought to have known the law from the start and that he had been twice caught acting as a taxi driver without a licence.
In response to further questions the driver confirmed that he had been running a taxi firm at the time of the fraud and stated that he had given the school jobs to other drivers employed by the firm. He confirmed that he had been disqualified for 6 months for speeding as a taxi driver. He stated that his licence had now been clean for 7 years.
RESOLVED – That the application for a private hire operator’s licence be refused.
RESOLVED:
That, in accordance with the recommendations of the Local Authority Governor Panel, the Council approves the new appointments and re-appointments of Local Authority governors to the school governing bodies as set out on the Amendment Sheet, each for a term of 4 years from the date of the appointment.
RESOLVED – T H A T in pursuance of the powers delegated to the Committee,
the following applications be determined as indicated and any other necessary
action be taken.

Maltings, East Tyndall Street, Cardiff, CF24 5EA
Land at Bolston House, Bonvilston
Demolition of the existing dwelling and redevelopment of the site to accommodate
residential development and associated works
REFUSED
(1) By reason of the loss of a large proportion of a Significant Stone Wall, the
loss of substantial amounts of tree cover and the suburban and insensitively
designed/orientated internal site layout, the proposed development would fail to
have regard to and would fail to preserve the character of the Bonvilston
Conservation Area, contrary to policies SP10 - Built and Natural Environment,
MD2 - Design of New Development, MD5- Development within Settlement
Boundaries and MD8 – Historic Environment of the Vale of Glamorgan Local
Development Plan 2011 - 2026 and the Bonvilston Conservation Area Appraisal
and Management Plan and national guidance contained in Planning Policy Wales
(Edition 11) and Technical Advice Note 12 - Design.
(2) By reason of the size of the dwellings and plots, the proposed layout fails to
make necessary, efficient use of the land, contrary to policy MD5 - Development
within Settlement Boundaries & MD6 - Housing Densities of the Vale of
Glamorgan
Adopted Local Development Plan 2011-2026.
(3) By reason of the geometry and radii of the access, and the design of works
to the carriageway/footway, the proposal would result in a substandard form of
access into and out of the site, which would adversely impact upon highway
safety. The proposal is therefore considered contrary to Policies MD2 (Design Of
New Development) & MD5 (Development within Settlement Boundaries) of the
Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Local Development Plan 2011-2026.
(4) In the absence of a noise assessment that considers potential noise
nuisance from the Red Lion Inn and its garden, the proposal fails to provide
adequate information to assess the impact of noise or demonstrate that the
proposal would not be prejudicial to the amenity and living conditions of future

residents at the site. In this respect the development is contrary to Policies MD2
(Design of Development) & MD7 (Environment Protection) of the Vale of
Glamorgan Local Development Plan 2011-2026.
(5) The proposal fails to satisfy the tests to justify a derogation for protected
species and would result in inadequately mitigated loss of trees that would harm
the biodiversity interests of the site. Therefore, the development is considered
contrary to Policies MD2- Design of New Developments & MD9-Promoting
Biodiversity of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Local Development Plan 2011-
2026, the guidance contained within the Councils Biodiversity and Development
Supplementary Planning Guidance.
(6) The proposal fails to provide any affordable housing or the infrastructure
necessary to mitigate the impacts of the development in respect of public open
space, education and sustainable transport. In this respect the development is
contrary to Policies MG4 and MD4 of the LDP and the Council’s SPG on
Affordable Housing and Planning Obligations, and Planning Policy Wales and
TAN 2- Planning and Affordable Housing.

Demolition of the existing dwelling and redevelopment of the site to accommodate
residential development and associated works
REFUSED
(1) The loss of part of the historical stone boundary wall would be damaging to
the intrinsic character of the site and the conservation area. The proposal would
therefore fail to preserve or enhance the character of the Conservation Area and
would be in conflict with Policies SP10 and MD8 of the Adopted Local
Development Plan, in addition to TANs 12 and 24, the aims and objectives of the
Bonvilston Conservation Area Appraisal Plan and Section 72(1) of the Town and
Country Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.

The Quarries, Bonvilston
The winning and working of limestone, importation/recovery of inert waste and
restoration to agriculture/amenity.
REFUSED -
(1) By reason of the excessive unjustified infilling operation, which is not
fundamentally required to create an acceptable restored site, the proposal would
amount to (and would encourage) unjustified waste disposal that is contrary to the
principles of the waste hierarchy, would result in unnecessarily and harmful
perpetuated environmental impacts, and would fail to provide a beneficial,
sustainable, and high quality restoration and after care solution for the quarry, at
the earliest opportunity. The proposal is therefore contrary to the policy and
guidance relating to waste management contained in TAN 21 paragraph 4.23, and
criterion 2 of Policy MD20 of the LDP. In addition, the proposal is contrary to
planning policy and guidance relating to quarry restoration and after care
contained in PPW paragraphs 5.14.4, 5.14.50, and 5.14.54, MTAN1 paragraphs
94, 97, 100, 103, and 130, and criterion 7 of Policy MG25 of the LDP.
(2) It has not been demonstrated, through submission of a bat survey, that the
development would not be detrimental to the maintenance of the population of
bats - a European Protected Species. The development is therefore contrary to
Policies MG19 – Sites and Species of European Importance and Policy MD9-
Promoting Biodiversity, of the Local Development Plan, as well as national
guidance contained at paragraphs 6.3.6 & 6.3.7 of TAN 5 – Nature Conservation
and Planning and paragraph 6.4.22 of Planning Policy Wales. It is also contrary to
the provisions of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010.

Brooklands, Brook Lane, St. Nicholas
Part retrospective application to regularise and seek the approval for the completion
of the 'as built' development for a new detached dwelling (through a barn conversion
and associated works of adaptation and extension).
RESOLVED -
(1) T H A T planning permission for the works as described in the application be
refused.
(2) T H A T the Head of Legal and Democratic Services be authorised to serve an
Enforcement Notice under Section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
(as amended) to require the following:
i. The removal of all unauthorised works that have taken place to Barn F,
including the doors and windows, blockwork walls, cladding and roof
covering, and the reinstatement of the barn to its previous appearance, as
shown in the approved plans and the photographs attached to planning
application file 2011/00898/FUL;
ii. The demolition of the brick link extension (referred to as building B in the
submitted planning application) that has been built between Barn F and
the adjacent building (Barn E);
iii. Making good the east elevation of Barn E (following the demolition of the
link extension) by bricking this up in matching brickwork.
(3) 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.
Reasons for decisions
(1) The extent of works proposed and that have been carried out to the former
steel portal framed barn in the east of the site (Barn F), and the link extension
adjoining this to the adjacent brick and blockwork barn (Barn E) and as proposed,
amount to the substantial reconstruction and alteration of the building, to the extent
that these elements of the proposal would constitute the construction of a new
building in the countryside. By reason of the design and character of the
alterations/new building, relative to its former agricultural appearance, the works
have unacceptably harmed and fundamentally altered the character of the building.
The former overly agricultural portal barn now has a highly domesticated an
urbanised character, which is to the detriment of the group of buildings and the wider
character of the yard. This is contrary to Policies MD1 (Location of New
Development) and MD11 (Conversion and Renovation of Rural Buildings) of the Vale
of Glamorgan Adopted Local Development Plan 2011-2026, the Conversion and
Renovation of Rural Buildings Supplementary Planning Guidance (2018) and advice
in Technical Advice Note 12 (Design).
(2) The recommendation 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.
(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.
(4) 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.

WITHDRAWN by the applicant
RESOLVED –
(1) T H A T the Head of Legal and Democratic Services be authorised to serve an
Enforcement Notice under Section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
(as amended) to require:
(i) Reinstate the building to its original condition including undertaking the
following:
• Remove the render applied to the exterior of the building.
• Remove the windows and doors on the front and rear elevations.
• Remove the additional areas of new external blockwork in elevations.
• Remove the profiled tiled metal sheeting roof.
(ii) Remove all of the waste materials from the land resulting from the taking
of step (i) above.
(2) T H AT in the event of non-compliance with the Notice, authorisation is also
sought to take such legal proceedings as may be required.
Reasons for decisions
(1) It appears to the Council that the above breach of planning control constituting
operational development has occurred within the last four years.
(2) The works that have been undertaken to date have resulted in the substantial
alteration of the former rural brick building and are not sympathetic to the fabric of
the existing building and unacceptably affects the appearance and rural character of
the building and its wider rural setting. The development would, therefore, conflict
with Policies SP1 - Delivering the Strategy, MD1 - Location of New Development,
MD11 – Conversion and Renovation of Rural Buildings and MD13 - Tourism and
Leisure of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Local Development Plan 2011-2026 and
Conversion and Renovation of Rural Buildings (2018) Supplementary Planning
Guidance, as well as national policy identified within Planning Policy Wales (Edition
11, 2021), TAN12- Design and TAN 24 – The Historic Environment.
(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.
