Richard,

Please see below a further email from John Raine with a spread sheet showing the percentages for each settlement hierarchy tier and the proportion of brownfield/greenfield land taken for housing allocations.

Have a good evening, Sarah

Sarah,

Please see the below a breakdown of the percentage of dwellings for each settlement category. 19 housing allocations are brownfield sites where 2 of those sites are partly brownfield. This results in 3,279 dwellings being allocated on brownfield sites (or 38.5%).

I trust this assists however please let me know if anything further is required.

Kind regards, John

From: Raine, John A Sent: 10 April 2017 12:19 To: Knevett, Sarah Subject: RE: Phone Call Importance: High

Sarah,

Please find attached word versions of the MAC and FMAC schedules as requested.

We are currently checking a spread sheet showing the percentages for each settlement hierarchy tier and the proportion of brownfield/greenfield land take for housing allocations (taking account of the MAC changes) and I will submit this later today.

With regards to the clarification of PM MAC120-122 – I can confirm that these maps, which relate to wind energy, were included in error and should not be included on the proposals map in line with the justification provided in the action point response.

Finally, with regards the Inspector’s query regarding Argoed Isha quarry we have considered this matter further and consider that the quarry should remain shown on the proposals map. This would ensure that members of the general public are aware of its existence and its potential re-working. I have suggested amended wording to policy MG22 (shown in red below) to clarify its status. No changes to the supporting text have been proposed as we consider paragraph 6.135 states all it needs to. I apologise for any inconvenience caused however it is considered that this would be necessary to avoid potentially misleading members of the public using the plan in the future.

Regards, John

POLICY MG 22 - DORMANT MINERAL SITES

THE COUNCIL WILL SEEK TO PREVENT FURTHER MINERAL EXTRACTION AT LONG DORMANT MINERAL SITES. BY SEEKING TO SERVE PROHIBITION ORDERS AT THE FOLLOWING LONG DORMANT MINERAL SITES WHERE IT IS SATISFIED THAT THE RESUMPTION OF WINNING AND WORKING OF MINERALS OR THE DEPOSITING OF MINERAL WASTE TO ANY SUBSTANTIAL EXTENT IS UNLIKELY THE COUNCIL WILL SEEK TO SERVE PROHIBITION ORDERS.

1. BEAUPRE (LONG GROVE) QUARRY, ST HILARY;

2. CNAP TWT QUARRY, CASTLE UPON ALUN;

3. COSMESTON QUARRY, PENARTH;

4. CROSS COMMON QUARRY, DINAS POWYS;

5. DOWNSWOOD QUARRY, PENARTH;

6. ELY BRICKWORKS (SITE SHARED WITH CARDIFF);

7. LAVERNOCK QUARRY;

8. ST. ANDREWS QUARRY, ST ANDREWS MAJOR;

9. SOUTHERNDOWN ROAD QUARRY (MAC74)

DORMANT RESERVES AT ARGOED ISHA QUARRY, LLANSANNOR, HAVE BEEN ASSESSED AS HAVING POTENTIAL TO BE REWORKED SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF A NEW SCHEME OF WORKINGS. THE COUNCIL WILL NOT SEEK A PROHIBITION ORDER BUT WILL MONITOR THE POTENTIAL FUTURE CONTRIBUTION OF THE QUARRY.

6.133 In addition to active quarry sites, there are a number of inactive and long dormant mineral sites within the Vale of Glamorgan where no mineral working has occurred for a period in excess of 10 years. These are shown on the Proposals Map. Many of the sites have regenerated naturally, have been put to alternative uses or are constrained by nearby development. For example, Cosmeston Quarry flooded to a depth of over 20 metres when quarrying ceased in the 1960s and has since been incorporated into Cosmeston Country Park; Lavernock Quarry and Southerndown Road have been used as waste disposal sites; and Ely Brickworks (shared with Cardiff) has been largely covered by the Ely Link Road. In addition, approximately 5.4 hectares to the North of Lavernock Quarry has been allocated for residential development under Policy MG2 (23) Land at Upper Cosmeston Farm, Lavernock. Reserves at Beaupre, Cnap Twt, Cross Common and Downswood quarries are limited and/or constrained and St Andrews Quarry is constrained by nearby sensitive development. (MAC74)

6.134 The Council will therefore investigate preventing further extraction of resources at these sites in order to provide certainty about future working and where appropriate will seek to ensure that restoration is undertaken. The following are considered to be long dormant mineral sites for the purposes of this Policy: (MAC74)

1. Argoed Isha Quarry, Llansannor; 2. Beaupre (Long Grove) Quarry, St Hilary; 3. Cnap Twt Quarry, Castle Upon Alun; 4. Cosmeston Quarry, Penarth; 5. Cross Common Quarry, Dinas Powys; 6. Downswood Quarry, Penarth; 7. Ely Brickworks (Site Shared With Cardiff) 8. Lavernock Quarry; 9. St. Andrews Quarry, St Andrews Major; 10. Southerndown Road Quarry (MAC74)

6.134 The Council will seek to prevent further extraction of resources at the sites listed in Policy MG22 in order to provide certainty about their future working and will seek to ensure that restoration is undertaken where appropriate. Restoration and after-use will primarily rely on natural regeneration for nature conservation/ecological purposes. For Lavernock Quarry, residential development will take place on the northern part of the dormant quarry allocated as part of MG2 (23) Land at Upper Cosmeston Farm, Lavernock. (MAC74)

6.135 It is considered that reserves at Argoed Isha Quarry, Llansannor, could be reworked in the future subject to the approval of a new scheme of workings. Accordingly, the Council will undertake annual minerals site monitoring of all quarries to monitor the potential future contribution from inactive quarries. (MAC74)

6.1356 The quarry at Cnap Twt, Castle upon Alun is a geological SSSI. Section 28G of The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 places a duty on Local Authorities “to take reasonable steps, consistent with the proper exercise of the Authority’s functions, to further the conservation and enhancement of the flora, fauna or geological or physiographical features by reason of which the site is of special scientific interest.” As the features of interest of the site are in the rock face, it is considered that no restoration should take place unless and until such proposals have been approved by Natural Resources Wales. (MAC74)

Hi Sarah,

Further to our conversation, I would be grateful if you could ask the Council for the following:

 The MAC and FMAC schedules in Microsoft Word format so I can edit them and insert into my report.

 Clarification on PM MAC120-122. The MAC schedule proposes to insert wind energy allocations within the plan, yet the policy referred (MG27) only relates to solar. Likewise, paragraph 2.4 of AP8 of HS18 states: “The wind cluster areas identified above fall outside the ‘local authority scale’ of renewable energy schemes (over 5MW and up to 25MW for onshore wind). Therefore, in line with the requirements contained in the Welsh Government’s 10th December 2015 Chief Planning Officers letter these smaller areas of opportunity within the ‘sub local authority’ category (up to 5MW) are not proposed to be identified on the LDP proposals map.”

 A breakdown of the percentage of housing in each of the following: Key Settlement; Service Centre Settlement; Primary Settlement; and Minor Rural Settlements.

 Clarification of the number of allocated housing sites that comprise previously developed land.

Many thanks,

Richard ______This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service. For more information please visit http://www.symanteccloud.com ______
