CONSULTATION ON DRAFT MINISTERIAL INTERIM PLANNING POLICY STATEMENT
“PLANNING FOR CLIMATE CHANGE” (DEER) -
Cabinet on 28th February, 2007,
referred the report to the Planning Committee for
consultation. The report was in response to the Stern Review
which had been published in October 2006 and which had highlighted
the threats of continued climate change. The Welsh Assembly
Government expected all local planning authorities to take
immediate action on the draft MIPPS when developing their Local
Development Plan (LDP) documents. Planning Committee was
advised that the consultation document proposed changes to a range
of sections in PPW (Planning Policy Wales) as well as minor changes
to previously issued MIPPS on Housing and Renewable Energy.
Committee noted that the Council’s Adopted Supplementary Planning
Guidance on Sustainable Development had also been included within
the Compendium before Cabinet as an example of best practice.
The Compendium was a draft document proposed by WAG in respect of
Climate Change. The report also set out the representations
that were proposed to be made by the Council in respect of its
comments in relation to the draft MIPPS.
Members raised concern in respect of potential
flooding issues and were advised that these were dealt with
separately under TAN15 and that the Environment Agency was the
statutory consultee in relation to these matters and if the
Authority had any queries, they would seek advice and clarity from
the Environment Agency.
RESOLVED - T H A T the Planning Committee
accept the resolutions of Cabinet and endorses the report as the
Council’s formal response to the WAG’s consultation on the Draft
MIPPS Planning for Climate Change.
978
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY SAFETY QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE MONITORING (REF)
-
At the Scrutiny Committee (Community Wellbeing
and Safety) on 12th March, 2007, the Committee
recommended that the Planning Committee be requested to recommend
that officers pursue with developers increasing the affordable
housing percentage on future site developments. The Scrutiny
Committee considered that all measures should be taken to ensure
that affordable housing was an option for a larger number of
members of the public in the future, than currently existed.
During discussion of this recommendation, the Planning Committee
considered that the suggestion to increase the percentage of
affordable housing should be pursued via the UDP and then in turn
the LDP. They also suggested that the Authority
should consider how it can ensure that when affordable housing
is developed, that it is established on the site with the same
design and materials and to the same standard as other properties
on the development. As a result of the discussions, the
Planning Committee
RESOLVED -
(1) T H A
T officers ensure that on future developments affordable housing is
built with the same design and materials and to the same standard
as other houses on the development.
(2) T H A
T a training and development seminar be arranged for all Members of
the Planning Committee and Members and the opportunity be extended
to Members of the Council on the subject of affordable housing and
planning.
(3) T H A
T officers attend a future meeting of the Community Liaison
Committee and provide them with detailed information on affordable
housing issues.
(4) T H A
T the affordable housing percentage be considered for increase
during the process of future consultation and agreement of the LDP
and UDP.

ENFORCEMENT ACTION (DEER) –
UK Hydro Slides, Waterpark House, Green
Lane, Llantwit Major (Tir Abad Farm): Unauthorised Building on Land
to the Rear
The report outlined that the only permission
for the use of the site was that which had been afforded by the
grant of a Certificate of Lawfulness ref. 92/000965/LAW issued on
8th December 1992 for various uses that included fibre
glass manufacture, car repairs, storage, car parking and the use of
a caravan as an office. The certificate had been issued after
a refusal of planning permission and dismissal appeal the previous
year. As far as could be established the certificate had been
limited to a group of three historic, former agricultural buildings
(chicken houses), a caravan and a relatively limited area of
surrounding land to support those uses. The report also
highlighted that the following were also unauthorised uses:
1. The sighting of
a demountable, port-a cabin type building used as the main
office.
2. The placing of
two metal box containers
4.
Two porta-cabin type units, one linked into and extending one of
the original consented buildings
5.
The unauthorised use of additional land to the rear and sides for
various storage, waste disposal and car parking purposes.
The primary concern was the expansion of
the established commercial operation outside the boundaries of the
Certificate of Lawfulness consent which had been issued in
1992.
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 of 1990 to ensure:
§
The permanent removal from the land and / or demolition of all
unauthorised and identified buildings, structures, containers,
porta-cabins and static caravans.
§
The permanent cessation of the use of the identified land for the
purposes of commercial storage and for the siting of buildings,
structures and containers.
§
The permanent removal from the identified land of all items of
commercial storage to include boats, barrels, drums, moulds, plant
and related equipment.
§
The erection of a permanent 1m high fence to demarcate the approved
boundary of the site.
Reason for decision
The reason for the above decision was to
prevent an unacceptable commercial encroachment into the open
countryside. Both the unauthorised use of the land outside
the approved Certificate of Lawfulness boundary and also the
unauthorised sighting of a number of additional buildings,
structures, containers, demountable units and caravans within the
approved boundaries represented an unacceptable expansion of
commercial operations in an environmentally sensitive open
countryside area. The unauthorised development and operations
were seen as being contrary to the aims of policies ENV1, ENV10,
ENV27, ENV29, EMP2, EMP3 and EMP7 of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted
Unitary Development Plan 1996-2011. They were also considered
likely to have an unacceptable effect on nearby residential
amenities and could be considered as detrimental to highway safety
due to an intensification of the use and accordingly traffic
generation at a sub-standard junction.

(Written Representations)
1. The applicant
has failed to submit supporting evidence to demonstrate an
essential need for the proposed agricultural dwelling and therefore
in the absence of any justification the proposal relates to
unjustified residential development in the countryside. The
proposal would also cause harm due to its prominence from the
public footpath. As such the proposed development is considered
contrary to Policies ENV1 (Development in the Countryside), HOUS3
(Dwellings in the Countryside) and HOUS5 (Agricultural or Forestry
Dwellings) of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Unitary Development
Plan 1996-2011 and the advice given in Planning Policy Wales (March
2002).

represents an unacceptable form of ribbon development into the
rural area adjoining Wick and as a consequence would cause harm to
the character and visual amenities of the area. It would
therefore also fail to amount to an appropriate 'rounding off' of
the settlement. The proposal is therefore contrary to
Policies ENV1 (Development in the Countryside), HOUS2 (Additional
Residential Development) and HOUS3 (Dwellings in the Countryside)
of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Unitary Development Plan 1996-2011
