Planning, Taxi Licensing and Rights of Way Committee Report Application No: P/2016/0319 Grid Ref: 325534.52 315159.05 Community Llandrinio Valid Date: Officer: Council: 05/04/2016 Kate Bowen Applicant: TP Davies & Co, Bryn Perthy, Arddleen, Llanymynech, Powys, SY22 6RT Location: Land at Bryn Perthy, Arddleen, Llanymynech, Powys, SY22 6RU Proposal: Erection of up to 9 dwellings and construction of access (outline) Application Application for Outline Planning Permission Type: Reason for Committee determination The proposal is a departure from the development plan and is recommended for approval. Site Location and Description The application site is located on the north western side of the B4392 highway, to the north east of the dwelling known as The Vine and to the north west of the cluster of properties within the detached settlement boundary within the area known as Burgedin. The site is currently in agricultural use and forms part of a larger field which is bound by a hedgerow on the northern boundary, a fence and gappy sections of hedgerow along the eastern boundary and a fenceline along the southern boundary. There is no field boundary along the western boundary. The application is submitted in outline with access to be considered at the outline stage for the erection of up to nine detached dwellings with various indicative scales as set out below: Two, two bedroom semi-detached houses (75 square metres, 7.5m x 5.5m); Five, four bedroom detached houses (104 square metres to 141 square metres, 7.7m x 8.5m to 8.7m x 11m); and Two, five bedroom detached houses (189 square metres, 11m x 12m). The indicative layout indicates that access would be gained off the B4392 highway with an adoptable road leading to a private drive providing access, turning and parking facilities. The layout also sets out public open space areas. The application site has an area of 0.7 hectares. 1 Consultee Response Llandrinio Community Council The Community Council discussed the above at a site meeting held on Tuesday 14th April 2016. It was agreed to support this application as although outside the development boundary the site is opposite the existing development at Burgedin. There is however one condition in that we would request that a condition be included that a pavement be constructed along the frontage of this development to link into the existing footpath which finishes at Llwyn Perthi. This has been requested several times by the residents of Burgedin and would allow safe access to the School and Community Hall. The Community Council would also like to suggest that 3 bedroomed properties are included in the mix of housing but we understand that this would be dealt with at a later stage. PCC Building Control Building Regulations required. PCC Highway Authority First response dated 7th April 2016: I will be visiting the site to verify if the visibility splays can be achieved. In addition, the internal adoptable layout will require some additional minor amendments ie larger turning head to accommodate refuse vehicle, etc. The fundamental concern I have with this site is the lack of footway back into the village. In order to comply with our obligations under the Active Travel Bill we need to ensure there is adequate provision for pedestrians. I suggest you go back to the agent and request a new footway in order for us to support the application. I revert back once I have been to site. Second response: Further to my email dated 7th April 2016 and subsequent site visit. From measuring the visibility splays on site the visibility towards Arddleen will involve the relocation of the hedgerow in order to comply with the required splays as noted on the submitted plan. Additionally, when the footpath is provided the hedgerow will need to be set- back any way to accommodate this feature. I assume the proposed adoptable highway layout for the internal access road is indicative only if not then they will need to provide a larger turning head to facilitate refuse vehicles using the estate road. 2 Third response: In view of the applicant now providing a footway to link up to the existing footway into the village please apply the following conditions to any decision notice:- HC1 Prior to the occupation of the dwelling any entrance gates shall be constructed so as to be incapable of opening towards the highway and shall be retained in this position and form of construction for as long as the dwelling/development hereby permitted remains in existence.
