Radyr Drama Society seeks new members The photograph opposite is just a snapshot (more on page 9) of the recent, successful production of the stage drama Bonaventure’ in November, by local amateur theatre group Radyr Drama Society. The Society has a well-earned reputation in the area for high quality amateur theatre productions, built up over many years, and its most recent production was no exception – judging by complements received from many people who came to see it. continued on page 9 Printed by J & P Davison, 3 James Place, Treforest, Pontypridd CF37 1SQ Tel. 01443 400585 RADYR CHAIN Free to every home in Radyr and Morganstown Number 222 February 2016 Hydro-Electric Scheme at Radyr Weir Around 1774, Radyr weir was constructed to allow water to be diverted to the Melin Griffith Tinplate works. Very soon, by end April 2016, it will again be in regular use creating electrical power; this site is particularly suited to do this due to the fast flowing River Taff and the height difference in water levels caused by the weir. Water is directed through two large Archimedes screws, (about 4m in diameter and 10m in length) and these drive turbines to generate electricity at a maximum rate of about 400kW. In practical terms this equates to the electricity demand of about 550 homes. I first became involved in this project in 2008 and it is good to see it near to completion after many hitches and changes of project teams. The final design incorporates a new fish pass with scope for a viewing platform, subject to resolving safety issues. There will also be a new picnic area and information boards about the fish pass, heritage of the weir and the science of the hydro scheme. continued on page 5 COMING EVENTS Tue 18:30 Festival Auditions Sat 19:30 Twinning Fellowship 9 Auditions for Queen & attendants will 12 Twinning Quiz Night in the Garth Feb be held in Radyr Guide Centre.

Aged 18 I was involved in a reading support scheme, where I helped a Year 7 pupil with his reading and basic grammar skills. I was also involved in the nurture scheme, where I worked alongside children who were affected by various learning disorders. Both these roles gave me the opportunity to deal with younger people in a supportive role, whilst also working alongside my peers as part of a team.

  • 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.
