This includes residential developments of 10 or more dwellings or where the site area has an area of 0.5 hectares or more.

Guidance on carrying out the pre-application consultation requirements within the Act has been provided by the Welsh Government set out in Article 1 of the Town and Country Planning DMPWO (Amendment) 2016 ‘Guidance on Pre-application Consultation’3. This consultation has also been subject to the The Planning Applications (Temporary Modifications and Disapplication) (Wales) (Coronavirus) Order 20204 1.1.5 These documents have shaped the consultation approach to ensure that all elements of the legalisation and guidance have been met when carrying out pre-application consultation. 1.1.6 This Report sets out how the consultation activities carried out comply with the requirements of the Act. As well as a summary of the consultation responses received, what category of consultee there were received from and how the responses received have been taken into account to shape the final scheme submitted. 1.1.7 The detail in this Report shows that consultation carried out with the local community and stakeholders has been timely, meaningful, effective and compliant with the requirements. 1 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/anaw/2015/4/pdfs/anaw_20150004_en.pdf 2 http://www.assembly.wales/laid%20documents/sub-ld10539/sub-ld10539-e.pdf 3 https://gov.wales/sites/default/files/publications/2020-02/annex-1-pre-application-consultation-guidance_0.pdf 4 https://gov.wales/sites/default/files/publications/2020-05/the-planning-applications-temporary-modifications-and- disapplication-wales-coronavirus-order-2020.pdf LMA Job number 1567 Page 4 of 84 Pre-Application Consultation Report 2 CONSULTATION REQUIREMENTS & APPROACH 2.1 Compliance with consultation requirements 2.1.1 The requirement to carry out pre-application consultation falls under Section 17 of the Act4. To show how the consultation activities carried out by the Applicant comply with the legalisation and guidance a series of tables are provided these tables set out in detail how the Applicant has complied with each of the following: • The statutory requirements of Section 17 of the Act ‘Requirement to carry out pre-application consultation’ where ‘the applicant must carry out consultation on the proposed application in accordance with subsections (3) and (4)’. • The Town and Country Planning DMPWO (Amendment) 2016 Part 1A ‘Requirement to carry out pre- application consultation 2B’. • The Guidance set out in Article 1 of the Town and Country Planning DMPWO (Amendment) 2016 ‘Guidance on Pre-application Consultation’. • The Planning Applications (Temporary Modifications and Disapplication) (Wales)(Coronavirus Order 2020) came into effect at midnight on 19th May 2020. This is a temporary amendment to pre- application consultation relating to applications for major development and developments of national significance. The amendment required that: o Any pre-application consultation commenced whilst local facilities (subsequently closed due to Coronavirus restrictions of movement) listed as points of access to application information will not have complied with the requirement of article 2C(1). The community consultation will therefore have to start again. 2.2 Statutory consultation activities 2.2.1 It is important to note that a full 28 day community consultation was carried out during March, April and May 2020, but became subject to the effects of the COVID 19 temporary amendment order, and as such, two sets of community responses were obtained. The documents in each PAC made available for public viewing were identical and as such, responses gained for each were considered valid for inclusion within this PAC report. 2.2.2 Statutory consultation under the relevant requirements and guidance took place in June and July 2020. A summary of the activities that took place are set out below.
