896            ENFORCEMENT ACTION (DEER) -

 

Three Elms, Church Road, Llanblethian: Breach of Agricultural Occupancy Condition -

 

The site consisted of a detached dwelling known as Three Elms and had received approval under planning permission ref. CORD 403/71 as an agricultural dwelling with an agricultural occupancy condition attached.  Until January 2005, the occupation of the dwelling had remained in compliance with the said condition;  that was not now the current position.  Given the particular circumstances of the case, it was considered reasonable to permit an extended compliance period of three years for any formal Notice, that period not only allowing a significant length of time for the occupants to consider alternative accommodation but also the opportunity to market the property to someone who would meet with the terms of the condition in question.  It would also allow the occupants time to apply to remove the condition in question.

 

Without evidence to the contrary, it was considered that the dwelling had not yet outlived its usefulness such that enforcement action to ensure the dwelling was not occupied in breach of the agricultural occupancy condition was appropriate and justified. 

 

RESOLVED - T H A T the Director of Legal and Regulatory Services be authorised to take all necessary action, including action under Section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to ensure:

 

§               the cessation of the occupation of the dwelling by any person not complying with the terms of Condition No. 2 of planning permission CORD 403/71; or

§               occupation in compliance with the terms of Condition No. 2 of planning permission CORD 403/71.

 

Reason for decision

 

The reason for the above recommendation is to ensure that this agriculturally tied property is retained available to serve its intended use in the interests of protecting the wider countryside and ensuring compliance with Policy ENV1 of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Unitary Development Plan 1996-2011.

 

 

897            GENERAL PLANNING MATTERS (DEER) -

 

(i)         Consultation on Draft Ministerial Interim Planning Policy Statement “Planning for Climate Change” -

 

Cabinet had, on 28th February, endorsed the response appended to the report as the Council’s formal response to the above consultative draft document, subject to consultation with this Committee.  The draft MIPPS highlighted the role of the planning system in mitigating against the causes of climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and by planning for and responding effectively to the changes already underway.  The document also indicated areas where building regulations might have an impact on the proposed changes.  It was noted that WAG expected all local Planning Authorities to take immediate account of the draft MIPPS when developing their Local Development Plan documents.  To assist local Planning Authorities in developing effective LDPs, WAG also proposed to produce a draft Climate Change Compendium, containing best practice examples and model policies for inclusion.  In that regard, it was noted that the Council’s Adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance on Sustainable Development had been included within the Compendium as an example of best practice.

 

Having considered the above together with the proposed response, it was

 

RESOLVED - T H A T the appended report be endorsed as the Council’s formal response to the WAG.

 

Reason for decision

 

The views of the Planning Committee are considered as part of the Council’s formal response to the WAG.

 

 

(ii)     Shop Front Design Guidance Leaflet -

 

Cabinet had, on 7th February, 2007, approved the content of the revised Shop Front Design Guidance Leaflet as appended to the report as a basis for good practice and advice subject to consultation with this Committee.  Cabinet had also resolved that the leaflet be made available to the public at no charge and on the Council’s website. 

 

RESOLVED - 

 

(1)    T H A T recommendations (1) and (2) of Minute No. C2894, as outlined above, be endorsed.

 

(2)    T H A T the report be referred to the Scrutiny Committee (Economy and Environment).

 

Reasons for decisions

 

(1)    In order to advise Cabinet of this Committee’s stance on the matter.

 

(2)    To inform future consideration of, in particular, town centre regeneration.

Renovation of existing Grade I listed building with 2 storey extension and provision of detached garage with guest studio accommodation above.

 

APPROVED subject to the following condition(s):

 

1.         The development hereby permitted shall be begun before the expiration of five years from the date of this permission.

           

            Reason:

           

            To comply with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

 

2.         The garage/studio accommodation hereby permitted shall not be occupied at any time other than for purposes ancillary to the residential use of the dwelling known as Castle Farm.

           

            Reason:

           

            To avoid the creation of a separate unit of residential accommodation, and to ensure compliance with the terms of Policies  ENV1, ENV27 and HOUS11 of the Unitary Development Plan.

 

3.         No development shall take place until the applicant has secured the implementation of a written programme of archaeological work in accordance with a written scheme of investigation which shall be submitted by the applicant and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority and the programme and scheme shall be fully implemented as defined in the approved details.

           

            Reason:

           

            To ensure that archaeological interest is protected and recorded and to ensure compliance with Policies ENV18 and ENV19 of the Unitary Development Plan.

The new doorway shall thereafter accord with the approved details.

           

            Reason:

            unless any variation to the above is agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority prior to such variation taking place.

           

            Reason:

           

            To ensure minimal impact to wildlife and countryside interests in accord with Policies ENV14 - National Sites of Nature Conservation Importance and ENV16 - Protected Species of the Vale of Glamorgan Unitary Development Plan 1996-2011.

 

7.            Notwithstanding the details submitted and prior to the commencement of works on site, details shall be submitted for approval in writing by the Local Planning Authority to define the extent of the rear boundary of the residential curtilage (including the form and type of any boundary treatment) and the siting of the garage building hereby approved and the garage and boundary shall thereafter be constructed in accordance with the details hereby approved, with the rear boundary to be provided prior to the first beneficial occupation of the extension.

           

            Reason:

           

            In the interests of the satisfactory development of the site and to accord with the requirements of Policy ENV27 of the Unitary Development Plan.

            Reason:

            In order to ensure an appropriate technology of repair.

 

16.      Where new/re-introduced doorway and window insertions are made, these shall be discretely dated on surrounds or lintels to enable future interpretation of the evolution of the building.

           

            Reason:
