The development is located at the junction of Cardiff Road and Perrott Street and occupies a prominent position within the street scene. It is intended to site the new development upon the footprint of the existing 2 / 2½ storey retail units fronting Cardiff Road and Perrott Street. The proposed development will have a similar overall height, but the massing of the building is broken up into smaller component units. The application proposes 16 no. flats, each having 2 no. bedrooms. Each flat would have an approximate floor area of 60m². Parking is proposed beneath the building fronting Perrott Street and in the courtyard at the rear of the buildings with vehicular access off Cardiff Road at the northeast of the site and pedestrian access off Cardiff Road at the northwest end of the site. No access to the individual flats is proposed from the courtyard area. Access will be from Cardiff Road and Perrott Street. An element of the existing dressed stonework is to be salvaged for the development. In addition to this, a blend of timber cladding, bricks and a coloured and white render is proposed for the materials. The plot is surrounded by a number of traditional terraced properties which are on a consistent building line. The proposed development is contemporary in design compared with the surrounding buildings. PLANNING HISTORY Planning consent was granted in November 2002 for a built development comprising community enterprise/workshop areas, bakery, cyber café, 2 no. flats, community IT training areas, community hall, entrance foyer and toilets (ref: P/02/0248). PUBLICITY In accordance with the provisions of Article 8 of 1995 Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order the following publicity measures were undertaken: site notice; press notice and individual letters sent to occupants of adjoining buildings. No written or other representations have been received. CONSULTATION • Head of Engineering – no objection to the proposal subject to conditions. • Head of Environmental Health - no response • Dwr Cymru Welsh Water - no objection subject to conditions and advisory notes. • Environment Agency - standard advice applies. • Western Power Distribution - no objection to the proposal. • Wales and West Utilities - no objection to the proposal. • Swalec - no response. POLICY CONTEXT Policy H2 of the Merthyr Tydfil Borough Local Plan states that Development proposals for housing within settlement boundaries on land not identified under Policy H1 will be permitted subject to consideration against the following criteria: - The proposal does not have an unacceptable impact on the character and amenity of the immediate neighbourhood. - The siting of the development is acceptable in relation to the design, scale, materials, and setting of the proposal. - The proposal does not have an unacceptable impact on the character, amenity and landscape quality of the area, including the need to retain features of water, wildlife, nature conservation interests and historical interests identified during the assessment and design of the scheme. - The proposal does not have an unacceptable impact on the rights of way network and other forms of public access to the countryside. - The proposal does not conflict with transportation considerations including car parking, traffic generation, access and accessibility to public transport. Policy H3 of the Mid Glamorgan (Merthyr Tydfil County Borough) Replacement Structure Plan 1991 – 2006 states that proposals for residential development on sites within settlement areas as defined in local plans will be permitted where this involves: 1. New residential development on derelict, undeveloped, potentially redundant or under used land where this does not conflict with uses identified in local plans. 2. The proposal is compatible with transportation considerations – including parking, traffic generation and access – the conservation of the environment and the maintenance of local amenity. PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS The proposed development is considered acceptable in planning terms. It complies with the provisions and policies of the relevant development plans. The structure, once built, will make a positive impact on the street scene with its contemporary design. Furthermore it will contribute to the regeneration of the Treharris area. The proposal would not appear out of character and thus would not have a material adverse effect upon the visual amenities of the area. Neither would it have a material adverse impact upon the amenities of neighbouring residents by way of loss of light or overbearing effect. Furthermore, the approved 2002 development was also modern in design terms. In addition, the Head of Engineering has stated that he has no objection to the proposals, subject to condition. Sixteen flats are proposed with 16 no. parking spaces to serve them. Whilst this does not meet the standard set by the 1993 South Wales Parking Guidelines, it is considered acceptable in this case as the proposal is a Housing Association development and lower levels of car ownership are expected. It is considered therefore that the proposal is acceptable from a highway safety point of view. To this end, it is considered that the proposed development is acceptable and it is recommended that planning permission be granted subject to the following conditions. RECOMMENDATION: BE APPROVED

    ISLE OF ANGLESEY COUNTY COUNCIL Committee: Executive Committee Date: 13 January 2014 Portfolio Holder: Councillor Richard A Dew Corporate Director: Arthur W Owen Title: Isle of Anglesey County Council Cycling Strategy 1.0 Purpose of Report 1.1 To gain Executive approval for the Isle of Anglesey County Council Cycling Strategy. 2.0 Background 2.1 The need for a co-ordinated approach across the Council to maximise the benefits to Anglesey of cycling has been highlighted by a number of issues. A strategy has therefore been produced to address these points and assist Anglesey to grow economically, in health and with an improved environment. 2.2 In November 2013 the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 was given Royal Assent and it will bring with it a number of new statutory functions which aim to encourage active travel to work, education and other destinations which would otherwise be made by car. 2.3 A number of potential major projects across the island are set to be developed over the next few years which emphasise the need for a strategy to ensure that the island receives the legacy benefits which should come from such schemes. 2.4 Tourism initiatives such as the Ymweld â Môn project will be assisted by a cycling strategy helping to target funding to encourage Anglesey as a cycling destination. 3.0 Recommendations 3.1 That the Council approve the Cycling Strategy for use as a lead document for the development of cycle facilities on Anglesey.

Townscape and Visual Introduction 7.1 This Chapter reports the outcome of the assessment of likely significant environmental effects arising from the Proposed Scheme in relation to townscape and views. 7.2 The Chapter describes the consultation that has been undertaken during the EIA, the scope of the assessment and assessment methodology, and a summary of the baseline information that has informed the assessment. 7.3 In line with Chapter 2. Approach to EIA, the assessment reports on the likely significant environmental effects, the further mitigation measures required to prevent, reduce or offset any significant adverse effects, or further enhance beneficial effects. The conclusions are provided both in terms of the residual effects and whether these are considered significant. The assessment of effects takes into consideration both Primary and Tertiary mitigation (see Chapter 2: Approach to EIA for further details), as well as applying proportionality to those effects considered within the EIA, based on the outputs of the EIA Scoping process (Appendix 2.1 - 2.2). 7.4 This Chapter, and its associated Figures 7.1-7.12 and Appendix 7.1-7.4, is intended to be read as part of the wider ES with particular reference to the introductory Chapters of this ES (Chapters 1 - 5), as well as Chapter 8.

  • Planning & Development Committee 5 July 2018
    PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 5 JULY 2018 REPORT OF THE SERVICE DIRECTOR, PLANNING PURPOSE OF THE REPORT Members are asked to determine the planning application outlined below: APPLICATION NO: 18/0314/34 (DJB) APPLICANT: Transport for Wales DEVELOPMENT: Hybrid Planning Application to deliver a rolling stock depot on the existing Garth Works Industrial Estate site comprising of the following: Part A: Full planning application for the demolition of existing warehouses on the existing Garth Works Industrial Estate site. Part B: Outline planning application to provide a rolling stock depot comprising of a warehousing building, stabling area accommodating rolling stock, substation, wash down point, sanding facility and delivery tracks, ancillary workshop and offices, decked car parking providing a maximum of 214 car parking spaces, demolition and relocation of existing railway footbridge and platforms, and associated landscaping, highways and access infrastructure works. LOCATION: LAND AT THE GARTH WORKS INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, TAFFS WELL, DATE REGISTERED: 03/04/2018 ELECTORAL DIVISION: Ffynon Taf RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE REASONS: The proposed development forms an important element of the development of the South Wales Metro Phase 2, which focuses on the Core Valley Lines (CVL). This important commercial/industrial site, which is currently partially vacant and of a tired and run-down appearance, lies adjacent to the A470 on an important gateway into Rhondda Cynon Taf. The proposal to develop the site as a major Transport for Wales Rail Depot is a positive boost to the regeneration of Rhondda Cynon Taf which will also have a significant impact on growth in the Cardiff Capital Region. It is considered that this investment will lead to new employment opportunities in the area and also improve access to employment for commuters in the region by its contribution to the South Wales Metro as well as a significant improvement and modernisation of the Taffs Well Station and the associated Park and Ride facility.
