The Planning Officer advised that the site notice expires on 25 August, 2022. In response to a question regarding a visit from CADW, the Planning Officer advised that no information had been received from CADW. The Committee was reminded that it was only considering the method of demolition and the proposed restoration of the site. The issue of whether the building should be listed is a separate matter. In response to questions regarding the protection of the frontage of the building and some interior features the Professional Lead Planning advised that whether the building or any part of it should be saved are all sperate issues, which were not for consideration of the Committee. He also advised that even if the building was listed a demolition notice could still be considered.

The Committee considered the report in respect of an application to register a new Town or Village Green on land at Bronllys. The Professional Lead - Countryside Access & Recreation advised that the Committee was being asked to consider how the application should be determined. In response to a question the Professional Lead - Countryside Access & Recreation advised that if a town or village green were approved this would have an impact on density of housing on the site. The Solicitor advised that the Committee had a legal duty to consider the village green application. In response to a question regarding the cost of using an Independent Inspector the Professional Lead - Countryside Access & Recreation advised that the cost had to be balanced against the cost of a potential judicial review. It was moved and duly seconded that the case be referred to an independent Inspector and that once the Inspector’s report and recommendation are available, these will be presented to the Committee as a basis on which to determine the application.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
