I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning

  • Application No. P2020/0362
    SECTION A – MATTERS FOR DECISION Planning Applications Recommended For Approval APPLICATION NO: P2020/0362 DATE: 22/05/2020 PROPOSAL: Construction of complementary restoration earthworks to create 2 looped landform platforms (part in cutting and part on embankment) with associated drainage infrastructure and areas of landscaping and habitat creation to create a flexible and adaptable area of land that could be used for a variety of uses including agriculture, nature conservation, leisure, tourism and industrial, research and development/business uses (potentially including a proposed rail testing, research and development and storage facility). (Cross-boundary application - see Powys CC Application ref. 20/0738/FUL) LOCATION: Land at and surrounding the Nant Helen Open Cast Coal Site, Powys, and Onllwyn Distribution Centre, Neath Port Talbot APPLICANT: Mr Rob Thompson, Celtic Energy Ltd, TYPE: Full Plans WARD: Onllwyn (also affecting Seven Sisters) BACKGROUND INFORMATION This proposal relates to a significant development site within the Dulais Valley which straddles the Neath Port Talbot and Powys administrative border. The site is largely within Powys but sections along the southern boundary are within Neath Port Talbot. Therefore, an identical application has been made to Powys CC, which is to be reported to PCC’s Planning, Taxi Licensing and Rights of Way Committee on 27th July 2020 (the outcome of which will be verbally reported to Members at Committee). While this report largely seeks to address only those matters which affect the land within the administrative boundary of Neath Port Talbot, due to the size of the development and the complexities associated with such a cross-boundary application, notably the assessment of the ‘planning balance’, the report also inevitably incorporates overarching assessments of impact which relate to the whole development and thus to both NPT and Powys (and the Brecon Beacons National Park beyond).

  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. B30 - TAWE UCHAF Introduction 1. The community of Tawe Uchaf lies in the southeastern corner of Brecknockshire, in a landscape that is defined by the confluence of the upper river Tawe and the nant Llech. Settlement in this community is defined by the narrowing valleys and by the routes that follow them: the A4067 north-south route and the A4221 east-west route that converge at the community's western boundary. The main settlements of Coelbren, Caehopkin, Ynyswen and Pen-y-cae almost run into one another, and they give the impression of a built-up community. However, a significant part of this community, including Mynydd y Drum in the south and the steeply rising landscape to the north, comprises uninhabited moorland. 2. The northern half of the community, including the 2nd tier settlements of Ynyswen and Pen-y-cae, lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park. The southern half of the community lies within the remit of the Powys planning authority, and comprises the large villages of Caehopkin and Coelbren. 3. The community has a population of 1,516, an electorate of 1,265 (2005) and a council of 13 members. The community is warded: Caehopkin with 260 electors and three councillors; Coelbren with 513 and five; Penycae with 492 and 5.
