  • Planning & Development Committee 3 December 2020
    PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 3 DECEMBER 2020 REPORT OF: DIRECTOR PROSPERITY AND DEVELOPMENT PURPOSE OF THE REPORT Members are asked to determine the planning application outlined below: APPLICATION NO: 20/0464/10 (GW) APPLICANT: WDL Homes Ltd DEVELOPMENT: Proposed residential development and associated works. LOCATION: LAND AT COLEG Y CYMOEDD, CWMDARE ROAD, ABERDARE DATE REGISTERED: 09/11/2020 ELECTORAL DIVISION: Aberdare West/Llwydcoed RECOMMENDATION: REFUSE REASONS: The development site is outside the settlement boundary identified in the Rhondda Cynon Taf Local Development Plan (LDP). Residential development is not supported by policy in such locations and no suitable justification, as an exception to the relevant policy, has been submitted. The benefits of providing the proposed dwellings and contributions for improved play facilities and education would not outweigh the conflict with policy and therefore, on balance, the application is recommended for refusal. As such the proposal would conflict with Policies AW1, AW2 and NSA12. REASON APPLICATION REPORTED TO COMMITTEE The application is reported to the Committee for final determination as it proposes 5 or more dwellings. APPLICATION DETAILS Full planning permission is sought for 7 dwellings at the application site. The proposal would essentially form an extension to a development of 87 dwellings already permitted at the former Coleg y Cymoedd site in Cwmdare (and currently under construction). The new dwellings would be located on part of the land that was allocated for Public Open Space as part of the previous scheme and would be accessed from the roads within that development, leading from Cwmdare Road. The 7 dwellings would be situated to the east of the formal playground area that would be provided for the development currently under construction.
