What councils do
Every Welsh council has declared or responded to the climate emergency and has plans to cut its own emissions, from buildings, vehicles and the things it buys. Councils also manage flood risk on local rivers and streams.
Who decides
The Cabinet agrees climate plans; scrutiny committees check progress.
Having a say
Ask your councillors how the council is doing against its own targets, and respond to its consultations on plans.

Following consideration of the application, and in the absence of unanimity among
Members, a vote was taken on a motion to defer consideration of the application
pending a site visit. The proposed visit would include both internal and external
inspections of the site to enable Members to fully assess the application. It was also
requested that a further report be presented to a future meeting, including setting out
potential reasons for refusal together with Planning officers' recommendations and
other points raised at this meeting. The vote was recorded as follows:

Reason for decision
Following consideration of the application by Committee Members and the
representations made at the Planning Committee, it was decided to defer any
decision being made on this application pending a site visit to assist in fully and
properly assessing the application and the issues raised. The proposed visit would
include both internal and external inspections of the site to enable Members to
assess the application. A further report would be presented as part of this to a future
meeting, including setting out potential reasons for refusal together with Planning

Development), MD2 (Design of New Development), MD3 (Provision for Open
Space), MD5 (Development within Settlement Boundaries), MD7 (Environmental
Protection), MD9 (Promoting Biodiversity) and MD13 (Tourism and Leisure) it is
considered that the proposal would have an acceptable impact in terms of visual and
residential amenity, highway safety, community facility and open space provision and
ecology.

proposed remediation over a period of 12 months (or another agreed
timeframe), and the provision of reports on the same must be submitted to
and approved by the Local Planning Authority, prior to the occupation of any
approved building. Following completion of the measures identified in that
scheme and when the remediation objectives have been achieved, reports
that demonstrate the effectiveness of the monitoring must be produced and
submitted to the Local Planning Authority. Timeframe for the submission of
the report(s) to be agreed with the LPA.
Reason:
To ensure that any unacceptable risks from land contamination to the future
users of the land, neighbouring land, controlled waters, property and

approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported in
writing within 2 days to the Local Planning Authority, all associated works
must stop, and no further development shall take place until a scheme to deal
with the contamination found has been submitted to and approved in writing

identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report must be
submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. The
timescale for the above actions shall be agreed with the LPA within 2 weeks
of the discovery of any unsuspected contamination.
Reason:

unacceptably impact the vitality or viability of the Barry Holton Road District Centre
or other identified retail centres without unacceptably impacting upon the visual
amenity, residential amenity, flood risk and drainage considerations, pollution and
contamination, public health and safety, heritage and archaeology, traffic and
parking congestion, highway safety, ecology and green infrastructure subject to
mitigation, and provides for commensurate biodiversity enhancement, subject to
mitigation though planning obligations and conditions.

or indirectly to the public sewerage system.
Reason:
To prevent hydraulic overload of the public sewerage system and pollution of
the environment and adverse public health and safety implications, and to
comply with the terms of Policies SP1 (Delivering the Strategy), MD1

Local Development Plan.
5. No development shall commence until a report has been submitted to and

detail the works required to cap off the asset (including the timing of these
works) and no development shall take place within the protection zone until it
has been capped off in accordance with the approved details.
b) If the watermain is live, no development shall take place along the
watermain route and the protection zone until a scheme to divert the
watermain has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local
planning authority. The scheme shall include a detailed design, outlining the
measures taken to divert and protect the structural condition of the watermain
and will include a timetable for its implementation and completion. The
approved scheme shall be adhered to throughout the lifetime of the

the environment and to comply with the terms of Policies SP1 (Delivering the
Strategy), MD1 (Location of New Development) and MD7 (Environmental
Protection) of the Local Development Plan.

xiii) how the developer proposes to accord with the Considerate Constructors
Scheme (www.considerateconstructorsscheme.org.uk) during the course of
the construction of the development; and
xiii) a system for the management of complaints from local residents which will
incorporate an appointed representative and a reporting system.
The construction of the development shall be undertaken in accordance with
the approved CEMP.
Reason:
To ensure that the construction of the development is undertaken in a
neighbourly manner and in the interests of the protection of amenity and the
environment and to ensure compliance with the terms of Policies SP1

the site are dealt with through a remediation strategy, to minimise the risk to
both future users of the land and neighbouring land, and to ensure that the
development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks and to
ensure compliance with the provisions of MD7 of the adopted Local
Development Plan.
11. No infiltration of surface water drainage into the ground is permitted other than
with the express written consent of the local planning authority, which may be
given for those parts of the site where it has been demonstrated that there is
no resultant unacceptable risk to controlled waters. The development shall be
carried out in accordance with the approved details.
Reason:
