977            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.

983            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

3.                  Two additional static caravans

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.

 

 

984            GENERAL PLANNING MATTERS (DEER) –

 

Consultation on Draft Circular “Planning for Gypsy and Traveller Caravan Sites in Wales (2007)”

 

The purpose of the report was to advise the Planning Committee of the Council’s formal response to the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) in respect of the recent consultation on the Draft Circular and to seek Member endorsement of the Council’s formal response to the draft document.  The Council’s Constitution stated that certain planning related issues could be decided by Cabinet and where relevant, Council.  However in reaching its position Cabinet could consult the Planning Committee and the relevant Scrutiny Committee if it wished.  Cabinet therefore sought to seek the views of the Planning Committee on the following recommendations:

 

“(1)      T H A T subject to consultation with Planning Committee Cabinet endorses this report as the Council’s formal response to the Welsh Assembly Government consultation on the Draft Circular “Planning for Gypsy and Traveller Caravan Sites in Wales (2007)” and that a copy of the report be forwarded to the Welsh Assembly Government by 30th March, 2007. 

 

(2)       T H A T a further report be presented to Cabinet if necessary once the draft circular has been formally adopted by the Welsh Assembly Government.”

 

The report presented to Cabinet on 14th March, 2007 was attached as Appendix A for the Planning Committee’s consideration.  Having considered the report the Committee

 

RESOLVED - T H A T the Appendix A to the report be endorsed as the Council’s formal response to the Welsh Assembly Government.

 

Reason for decision

 

To advise Members of the consultation exercise and the Council’s representations to the Welsh Assembly Government.

REFUSED                 (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).

1.         The proposal 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 and to advice contained in Planning Policy Wales 2002.
