Item Number: 1 ITEM NUMBER: 1 APPLICATION NUMBER: 11/06718/REM APPLICANTS NAME(S): Sennybridge Ltd SITE ADDRESS: Land At Castle Farm Sennybridge Brecon Powys LD3 8PS GRID REF: E: 291930 N:228375 COMMUNITY: Maescar DATE VALIDATED: 25 April 2012 DECISION DUE DATE: 15 August 2012 CASE OFFICER: Mr Ryan Greaney PROPOSAL Reserved Matters Application to consider Access, Appearance, Landscaping, Layout and Scale (Outline Application P20942) ADDRESS Land At Castle Farm, Sennybridge, Brecon CONSULTATIONS/COMMENTS Consultee Received Comments Brecknock Access 8th Jun 2011 We wish to object to this application for three Group reasons. 1. Totally inadequate Design and Access Statement. It gives no details of access to or into the properties (Gradients, surface materials etc.) 2. Toilets are not to Part M Building Regulations 3. The staircase has not been planned for the use of stair lifts, for possible adaptations at a later date Brecknock Access 20th Jul 2011 With reference to the amended plans, we wish to Group place another objection that no gradients of the entrance to the site, namely the pathway from the main road (A40) are being given. It is essential to provide this information to ensure access for the disabled into such a large development is provided and to consider the Equality Acts 2010 and 2011. This information was requested in our previous objection. CADW Ancient 27th Jun 2011 The site is located a minimum of 40m to the west of Monuments the monument, at the base of the hillock on which it stands. There is to be no direct impact upon the scheduled area. The setting of the monument has previously been compromised by the piecemeal construction of modern houses adjacent to and within metres of the surviving fragments. The present access road to Castle Farm and the houses that occupy much of the castle site physically divides the development from the ruins. More significantly, the position of the recent houses dictates that any views of the area to be developed from that of the scheduled area are likely to be very limited. The significant views from and of the upstanding medieval tower are across the valley to the south, which both it and the 20th Century fortifications were undoubtedly positioned to overlook. These key aspects will not be affected by the proposed development. Countryside Council 22nd Jun 2011 We wish to make representations on this proposal, For Wales but until such time that WG provide its direction it would be premature to comment on the proposal. We will therefore consider this matter further when we are in receipt of WGs direction. Countryside Council 21st Jun 2011 The CCW has recently responded to a consultation For Wales from the Welsh Government's (WG) with respect to their Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening direction request on this application. The CCW indicated, in a letter of 13 June 2011, our view that an EIA is required for the proposed scheme. We wish to make observations on this proposal, but until such time as WG provide its direction it would be premature to comment on the proposal. We will therefore consider this matter further when we are in receipt of WG's direction. Countryside Council 29th Jul 2011 The application will need to be accompanied by an For Wales Environmental Statement and it would be premature to comment until this is available. In the meantime, the Countryside Council for Wales would object to the issue of consent for this proposal. Countryside Council 9th Sep 2011 The EIA should consider the impacts on the For Wales following: - Statutory nature conservation sites - Non-statutory nature conservation sites - legally protected species - UK and Local Biodiversity Action Plan habitats and species; and - Landscape Countryside Council 18th Jun 2012 Object to the proposed development at the present For Wales time pending the provision of further information relating to: - surface water disposal - sewage disposal - water supply - landscape and layout - hedgerows/bat flightlines. Countryside Council 28th Mar 2013 Subject to conditions, CCW are satisfied that a For Wales significant effect on River Usk SAC via change in water quality is unlikely. The design proposed is inappropriate for this site and will appear as a visually prominent, modern edge of town new housing estate of distinctly different character to the rest of the main street detracting from the National Park qualities and character. Dwr Cymru Welsh 13th Jul 2011 No objection subject to conditions and advisory Water note. Dwr Cymru Welsh 12th Sep 2011 The EIA should include a section on Drainage. Water Dwr Cymru Welsh 19th Jul 2012 No objection subject to conditions and advisory Water note. Dwr Cymru Welsh 8th Jul 2011 Measures are now in place to maintain future water Water - Developer supplies to existing customers and the proposed Services development. Concerns were raised over the proposed development back in 2005, with regards to our Waste Water Treatment Works in Sennybridge. However, since then the performance of the WwTW has improved and at present we are not aware of any known compliance issues within the Usk SAC. A combined sewer overflow serving the Sennybridge catchment downstream of the development has in the past experienced some flooding. This was due to an operational issue which has now been overcome and to the best of our knowledge we are not aware of any other operational issues. Dwr Cymru Welsh 20th Jul 2012 No objection subject to conditions and advisory Water - Developer notes. Services Dwr Cymru Welsh 21st May 2013 Having sought further advice in relation to your Water - Developer enquiry, we reply as follows: Services We assess the impacts of development on our assets and in particular to the Waste Water Treatment Works (WwTW), the discharge licence imposed on us by the Natural Resources Wales (NRW). We ensure that all discharges to the environment meet these obligations. We can confirm that we are operating Sennybridge WwTW within our licence conditions. However, should you wish to understand what these consents are then we would refer you to NRW as our environmental regulators for further details. Environment Agency 4th Aug 2011 We will not be commenting until the ES is received. Wales Environment Agency 2nd Aug 2011 The EAW will not be commenting on this proposal Wales until the Environmental Statement is submitted. Environment Agency 25th Jun 2012 No objection subject to condition. Wales Environment Agency 6th Feb 2013 We have no further comments Wales Health And Safety 26th May 2011 There are sufficient reasons, on safety grounds, for Executive advising against the granting of planning permission in this case. Health And Safety 10th May 2012 HSE does not advise on safety grounds against the Executive granting of planning permission in this case. Linesearch 20th May 2011 In the zone of interest: Mainline Pipelines Ltd National Grid Gas Maescar Community 18th May 2012 Highlighting issues with are made with specific Council reference to Policy G3: Development in the National Park Maescar Community 24th Jan 2013 Object to the development on the following Council grounds: - density (i.e. due to the excessive number of dwellings proposed) - lack of open space for children - vehicular access to the site - small scale development is more appropriate for a rural village the size of Sennybridge. Mainland Pipelines 27th May 2011 No Comments Limited Mainland Pipelines 14th Jul 2011 Proposed work outlined will not affect to Mainline Limited Pipeline at this location Natural Resources 5th Aug 2013 I have received your email from my colleagues Wales/Cyfoeth Catherine Howe and Annina Kortesniemi for a Naturiol Cymru response as I am the Environment Management Team Leader covering Sennybridge. My team deals with pollution control and Water Quality issues in this area. I am not aware of any recent issues with the sewage network in Sennybridge and we have not received any recent complaints about pollution in this area. We will however review our files further and contact Welsh Water to get additional information about the incident that your husband reported in April. Pete Jones will contact you next week with the outcome of this and address any other points raised in your email. In the meantime, if you notice any further pollution in this area please call our pollution hotline on 0800 80 70 60. This free phone number is manned 24 hours a day and allows us to respond to incidents as and when they are reported. NP Ecologist 3rd Jun 2011 The nature and scale of all clean and foul water drainage systems associated with the proposed development site are provided to the NPA and written confirmation sought from Powys CC, Welsh Water and EAW confirming that such systems are acceptable and that the infrastructure outside the application site is sufficient in capacity to effectively remove all likely significant effects on the River Usk SAC. NP Ecologist 8th Aug 2011 Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this further application relating to the above site. On the basis of our recent discussion I note that this specific application relates to the inclusion of appropriate footpath access. I have therefore no comments to make in relation to this specific matter beyond the remarks I have previously made regarding this proposal. NP Ecologist 14th Sep 2011 Thank you for your email of 24th August 2011 requesting my opinion on the scope of the information that should be included in an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) following the screening views provided by the Welsh Government in their letter of 20th July 2011. The Welsh Government's screening direction identified three key areas where they considered there was a likelihood for significant effects on the environment, which included: o The likely impact of the development on the National Park landscape; o The likely impact of the development on the River Usk SAC, the River Usk (Upper Usk) SSSI and the River Usk (Tributaries) SSSI; and o The likely impact of the development on European Protected Species.

  • PLANED Natural Capital Audit – Appendices
    CONTRACT WWB/02/07 NNAATTUURRAALL CCAAPPIITTAALL AAUUDDIITT 2: APPENDICES Collation of summarised information on biodiversity and the wider environment to assist the farming community of this region in diversification of interests. This report is a synthesis of available information on all aspects of natural and cultural heritage. Prepared for Planed on 29 February 2008 by West Wales Biodiversity Information Centre Landsker Business Centre, Llwynybrain, Whitland, Carmarthenshire SA34 0NG. Telephone 01994 241468. www.wwbic.org.uk With additional information supplied by: Cambria Archaeology, Environment Agency and Sid Howells. Contributors: Louise Austin, Sarah Beynon, Rob Davies, Sid Howells, Jon Hudson, Kate Jones, Marion Page, Vicky Swann. PLANED: Natural Capital Audit West Wales Biodiversity 2008 1 APPENDIX 1: Farmer Profiles Intensive farmers (dairy) Farmer 1 Farm 1 supports 3 sons as well as parents, and therefore on a farm of 430 acres (plus 170 acres of rented land), diversification has been necessary. They own an agri-contracting business and permit shooting walks on the farm. They are milking over 150 cows, and grow arable crops on their land: 46 acres of maize and 230 acres of corn. They are currently not in any agri-environment scheme other than a Catchment Sensitive Farming project: Deep Ford Brook project. However, he says that again, this brings with it more red tape: he can now not increase stock numbers, and believes this is just another way of getting information regarding fertiliser usage: “it is just NVC through the back door”. Farmer 1 adds that “a stocking rate of 1 cow per acre has been pushed by the government over the past 40 years” and therefore, due to financial reasons, they cannot justify any management regulations placed on their productive grazing land.
