Response by Head of Service: I refer to your recent enquiry regarding the impact of the Village Green Application on the proposed development of affordable, secure homes for Bronllys. The decision in relation to the village green application at Bronllys is legally a matter for the Council, in its role as Commons Registration Authority; the decision-making responsibility sits with the Planning, Taxi Licensing and Rights of Way Committee. There is case law around the steps that should be taken when deciding a contested application, which indicate that a non-statutory hearing should be held. In this case, because the Council owns and has an interest in developing the land, we have taken steps to appoint an independent Inspector to hear the case and provide a recommendation for the Committee. We have commissioned an Inspector via PEDW, as their Inspectors have expertise in common land casework and in holding hearings of this nature, where there is a high level of public interest in the case. Our previous experience has been that this has been an effective means of addressing this casework; however, on this occasion, PEDW have not been able to allocate the case to an Inspector yet due to workload pressures. They have the required documentation and we continue to request updates from them to expedite the matter. I’m afraid we do not yet have a timescale but the Council’s Countryside Access and Recreation team are chasing this matter. Please let me know if you need any further information.
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.
