Minutes of the North Planning Committee held on 5 February 2019 The Technical Specialist Planning Officer introduced the application for the installation of a 23.8m wind turbine (31.6m to blade tip) and associated infrastructure and confirmed that the Committee had undertaken a site visit that morning to assess the impact of the proposed development on neighbouring properties and the surrounding area. Councillor Mark Jones joined the meeting. In accordance with the Local Protocol for Councillors and Officers dealing with Regulatory Matters (Part 5, Paragraph 15.1) Councillor Paul Wynn, as local ward councillor, made a statement and then moved to the back of the room, took no part in the debate and did not vote on this item. During his statement, the following points were raised: There were no objections to the application; The proposal would provide renewable energy for the farm and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases; He fully supported the application. Mr Anthony Ford, the Landowner spoke in support of the proposal in accordance with Shropshire Council’s Scheme for Public Speaking at Planning Committees. During the ensuing debate, Members carefully considered the benefits that the proposal would bring in terms of providing renewable energy, farm diversification and noted that landscape and visual impact would be minimal. Members considered that these benefits outweighed the guidance given in footnote 49 of paragraph 154 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) regarding the acceptability of wind energy development in areas that have not been identified as suitable for wind energy in the Development Plan, particularly given that the Council’s Development Plan did not, as yet identify any such areas. Members commented that the Development Plan needed to be updated to reflect the recent amendment to the NPPF. Having considered the submitted plans and listened to the comments made by all of the speakers, Members unanimously expressed their support for the proposal, contrary to the officer’s recommendation. RESOLVED: That planning permission be granted, contrary to the officer’s recommendation, for the following reason; On balance the Committee gave greater weight to the general support for renewable energy development, as set out in the NPPF and the Development Plan, and the overall benefits of the proposal in terms of diversification of the farming enterprise, and less weight to footnote 49 of paragraph 154 of the NPPF regarding the acceptability of wind energy development in areas that have not been identified as suitable for wind energy in the Development Plan, particularly given that the Council’s Development Plan does not, as yet identify any such areas.
