[Having previously declared a personal and prejudicial interest in this item of business, the Chairman, Councillor Jacob Williams withdrew from the meeting]. This application was for Committee consideration as it was for a development contrary to the development plan but which was being recommended for approval. The Committee proceeded to discuss the application and the key points were noted as follows: · Following a question from Councillor Tim Evans regarding changes being made to boundaries as part of the impending Local Development Plan 2 (LDP2), the Chief Planning Officer advised that he was of the opinion that the current application site boundary would remain the same within the LDP2. · Councillor Mark Carter requested clarification as to whether any of the property would fall outside of the settlement boundary or if it would just be the garden of the property. The Chief Planning Officer advised that a large proportion of the dwellings footprints had been proposed outside of the settlement boundary, although this enabled retention of the oak tree, which would likely be made subject to Tree Preservation Order. · Following a question from Councillor Mark Carter, the Chief Planning Officer outlined the details of the required affordable housing financial contribution. · Councillor Tim Evans queried if approving an application for a development partly outside of the settlement boundary would create a precedent for other applications, to which the Chief Planning Officer expressed that all applications were considered on their own merits so was of the opinion that approval of this application would not create a future precedent. · In response to a question from Councillor Tim Evans, the Chief Planning Officer confirmed that the original application had also proposed three dwellings.

Following that meeting, amendments were made to the application, which are subject to this Committee report. The Committee proceeded to discuss the application and the key points were noted as follows: · The Chairman highlighted that there would be 19 fewer parking spaces than originally proposed and queried as to why.

The Committee then proceeded to the vote, undertaken by way of a roll-call, which was carried.

Decision as recorded
RESOLVED That delegated power be granted to the Director of Community Services to APPROVE the application subject to the completion of a S106 Planning Obligation to secure an off-site financial contribution towards the provision of affordable housing and subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report of the Director of Community Services.
This application was presented for Committee consideration as it involved the development of a site contrary to the local development plan (LDP) but which was being recommended for approval. Councillor Nicola Gwynn, Local Member, expressed that her opinion of the development was conflicted as although additional homes within the area would be beneficial, she felt the site did not fit into the character of the area. She added that she did not feel the homes would be as environmentally friendly and sustainable as was needed. The Committee proceeded to discuss the application and the key points were noted as follows: · Following a question from Councillor John Cole, the Chief Planning Officer confirmed that the park homes could not be purchased and used as second homes as the proposed conditions ‘occupancy restricted to over 55’s’ and ‘occupancy as a primary home only’ restricted that. · Councillor Mark Carter made reference to the S106 planning obligation to secure an off-site financial contribution towards the provision of affordable housing, and commented that as the park homes were of less value than a standard home they were already affordable. The Chief Planning Officer informed Members that the park homes would not constitute ‘affordable homes’ as they were still deemed ‘market properties’ and an affordable home would need to be below market value. Councillor Mark Carter Moved that delegated power be granted to the Director of Community Services to approve the application as recommended; Seconded by Councillor Brian Hall. · On receiving a question from Councillor Alistair Cameron regarding the loss of employment land, the Chief Planning Officer provided some background information of a 2006 application and the prior marketing of the site which did not result in any alternative proposals. It was noted that there was another employment allocation site within the LDP for Goodwick area should there be a need in the further for such site, along with the remaining allocation of the industrial estate available. · Councillor Aaron Carey queried whether approving permission for this application would affect future developments for employment purposes on the remaining section of the site to which the Chief Planning Officer advised that as the area was already classified as an industrial area it was unlikely that adverse impact would be seen for future employment land permissions although any future applications would be assessed on their own merits. The Committee then proceeded to the vote, undertaken by way of a roll-call, which was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors Jamie Adams, Aaron Carey, Mark Carter, Alistair Cameron, John Cole, Andrew Edwards, Tim Evans, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Jordan Ryan, Michelle Wiggins, Tony Wilcox, Jacob Williams and Michael Williams. [14] There were no votes against the motion or abstentions. RESOLVED That delegated power be granted to the Director of Community Services to APPROVE the application subject to the completion of a S106 Planning Obligation to secure an off-site financial contribution towards the provision of affordable housing and subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report of the Director of Community Services.

RESOLVED That the application be APPROVED, subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report of the Director of Community Services.
[Having previously declared a personal and prejudicial interest in this item of business, Councillor Nicola Gwynn withdrew from the meeting]. This application was for Committee consideration as the application was for an agricultural building with a floorspace of over 1,000sqm (paragraph 1(i) of the scheme of delegation). The Area Team Leader (North), Ceri Jones, provided an oral update stating that since the publication of the Committee report, the Council’s Ecologist had raised no objection to the proposal as it would not result in an increase in the herd size, and the replacement building would reduce the amount of slurry directed to the slurry store resulting in better management of slurry produced. It was therefore considered likely that there would not be an increase in Phosphate entering the SAC catchment, therefore it was considered that there would not be an adverse impact on protected species. Councillor Brian Hall Moved that the application be approved as recommended; Seconded by Councillor Mark Carter. The Committee then proceeded to the vote, undertaken by way of a roll-call, which was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors Jamie Adams, Aaron Carey, Mark Carter, Alistair Cameron, John Cole, Andrew Edwards, Tim Evans, Brian Hall, Jordan Ryan, Michelle Wiggins, Tony Wilcox, Jacob Williams and Michael Williams. [13] There were no votes against the motion or abstentions. RESOLVED That the application be APPROVED, subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report of the Director of Community Services.

This application was for Committee consideration as it was for an assembly and recreation use (D1 use class) over 500 square metres in floor space (paragraph 1(f) of the scheme of delegation). Following a question from Councillor Andrew Edwards regarding disabled facilities, Local Members, Councillors Brian Hall and Tony Wilcox, commented that the building had disabled access to the ground floor but they were unsure about the second floor. The Planning Officer, Claire Jenkins, advised that she did not have details of upper floor access, but from the floor plan provided it indicated that only a small area of the upper floor was being proposed, which would be used for walkways and storage and the gym, toilets, changing rooms and reception would be on the ground floor. The Chief Planning Officer advised that it was probable that building regulation approval may be required for the building, due to the change of use status, which would ensure accessibility requirements.
