The planning committee decides the larger or disputed planning applications. More in the guide
The Planning Committee approved one application, to give the Council more time to submit plans for a new primary school at Garden Village, Swansea. The approval includes updated wording for three planning conditions and depends on a revised Section 106 agreement (a legal agreement with the developer). No interests were declared and the minutes of 8 September 2026 were approved.
The Planning Committee considered one planning application, to demolish the vacant Greyhound Inn at Llanrhidian and build nine homes, five for sale on the open market and four affordable. Members approved the application, subject to a Section 106 agreement (a legal agreement with the developer that sets out obligations such as affordable homes).
The Planning Committee met on 4 August 2026 and approved one application: listed building consent to re-roof parts of The Guildhall and refurbish its windows. Listed building consent is permission needed to alter a listed building. The approval was referred to Cadw, the Welsh Government's heritage body, as the law requires. The minute records no declarations of interest.
