I have set out the views of the Colwinston Community Council, and would be pleased if, with the chairman’s permission, they were brought before the meeting.

 

The Community Council has considered the application, and did not wish to comment, in view of the fact that the external steps and door, prominent in the previous application, had been removed.

 

However, the owner of the adjoining property, Brynffrwd, has expressed concern that this proposal would, if approved, result in Cynma House having an overbearing and dominating aspect over his property, particularly at the rear.

 

The members of the Advisory Group may wish to consider this in their deliberations.”

“As a committee, we all felt kindly disposed towards the Post Office site plan as it’s just the kind of infilling we need.  There was a letter in last week’s Gem complaining that the right of way that runs beside the site was threatened.  This is not the case.  A group of residents whose not very nice garages face onto the road behind asked for a meeting to complain.  They talked to Sue Cox, chair of planning, and she told them our point of view and said that we did not think their back gardens would be much overlooked, but advised them to write to the Vale to express their views.”

(vi)       Broughton

 

2007/01319/FUL      Received on 19 September 2007

541     LISTED BUILDINGS CONDITIONS SURVEY - LISTED BUILDINGS “AT RISK” (REF) -

 

Cabinet on 30th October, 2007 was updated on the next steps to be taken following the findings of a conditions survey of listed buildings in the Vale of Glamorgan.  In March 2006 the Council had commissioned a condition survey of all the 731 listed buildings in its area and had informed Cabinet of the findings of the survey in October 2006 together with potential actions that might be progressed in respect of the 77 buildings identified as being at risk, namely:

 

·                    17 Scheduled Monuments where consolidation and managed decay through a process of repairs was considered preferable to renovation or restoration

·                    4 related to ecclesiastical buildings which were generally subject to parochial powers presided over by the local Diocese, such structures being subject to five yearly review by the Church and to a corresponding programme of planned maintenance

·                    the remaining 54 ranged from ruinous structures to buildings in quite reasonable condition but which were considered at risk because of the failure of a single critical element which made them vulnerable or likely to degrade exponentially in a short space of time.

 

When the buildings were identified as being at risk, appropriate action, relative to the degree of risk identified, might be pursued by the local authority.  Outside of legislation, the local authority could encourage the undertaking of maintenance to the structures identified.  In instances of deliberate or conscious neglect, the Council could utilise the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 in order to address the deterioration of listed buildings.  Details were contained within the report of various sections of the Act under which Notices could be served although attention was drawn to the fact that Sections 47 - 55 were open to challenge, appeal and claims for compensation.  The report to Cabinet in October 2006 provided an outline of those building where action ought to be considered based on the findings of the survey work.  It was considered that further detailed reports specific to each case would be required and, if formal action was required, the detailed assessment of each case would be a matter for the Planning Committee.

 

Reference was made during the course of subsequent discussion to listed buildings within the ownership of the Council.  Attention was drawn to the fact that the Dock Office and the Town Hall had now been brought into full beneficial use and that discussions were ongoing in relation to the Pump House, Barry Waterfront and Old Place, Llantwit Major.

 

Cabinet had RESOLVED -

 

(1)       T H A T, subject to consultation with the Planning Committee, the proposed methodology of reviewing individual cases, prioritised and informed by the findings of the Buildings at Risk Survey, be endorsed. 

 

(2)               T H A T the requirement for formal action under the terms of legislation be considered by the Planning Committee on a case by case basis, with reports to include a consideration of the likely financial implications, liabilities and options inherent in the service of such Notices on each of the individual buildings concerned.

 

Planning Committee, having considered the resolution of Cabinet,

 

RESOLVED - T H A T the resolution of Cabinet be endorsed.

547     ENFORCEMENT ACTION (DEER) -

 

(i)         No. 15 St. Ambrose Close, Dinas Powys, Vale of Glamorgan: Wooden decking (including balustrades and a raised walkway) on top of an existing extension

 

A complaint had been received by the Local Planning Authority concerning the erection of decking, along with balustrades and a raised walkway, on top of an existing, and unauthorised, extension at No. 15 St. Ambrose Close, Dinas Powys, Vale of Glamorgan. 

 

Following an initial site inspection it was noted that a balustrade had been erected to enclose the decked roof area of an existing flat roof extension.  The balustrade enclosed the perimeter of the extension roof across its 5.2m width and 4.1m length.  The balustrade has a height of 0.9m and the height of the extension and decking was approximately 2.8m. 

 

Access to the extension roof was gained via a raised walkway from the rear garden.  The rear garden was terraced as the land to the rear of the garden was at a higher level.  As a result the raised walkway had a maximum height of 2m from the remaining terrace of the garden.  The raised walkway had a length of 3.9m and a width of 0.85m.  Again the balustrade had a height of 0.9m. 

 

The development did not benefit from permitted development rights granted under the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 and therefore, required the benefit of planning permission.  However, in view of the fact that an application to retain the development seemed to be unlikely to receive a favourable recommendation, the owners of the property were requested to remove the balustrades and raised walkway by Monday, 20th August, 2007. 

 

The main issue in this matter was the appearance of raised walkway and balustrade, and the privacy implications that resulted from use of the raised walkway and the flat roof of the extension, facilitated by the presence of the balustrade around the perimeter of the roof of the extension.

 

The balustrade had been erected on the perimeter of the roof of an extension which adjoins the boundary of the property at No. 17 St. Ambrose Close.  The height of the balustrade, together with the height of the existing extension resulted in a structure of approximately 3.6m along 4.1m of the boundary with No. 17 St. Ambrose Close.  The resultant structure was considered to be overbearing and had a cluttered appearance which was considered to unacceptably affect the visual amenities of the adjoining occupiers.  In addition to this, as the balustrade and walkway were elevated, the structure was also visible for other properties in the vicinity as well as from the walkway to the rear of the site.  The resultant development was out of keeping with the character of host building and was an incongruous feature that was detrimental to the general visual amenity of the area.  The appellant had recently erected a 1.8m bamboo screen in an attempt to overcome the privacy implications.  It was felt that the screen only served to worsen the visual impact of the development. 

 

In view of the visual impact of the development, it was not considered to accord with Policy ENV27 of the Vale of Glamorgan Unitary Development Plan Adopted March 2005.  Neither did it accord with Policy 1 of the Council’s “Supplementary Planning Guidance: Amenity Standards” approved in January 1999.

 

The decked area of the extension roof was now used as a sitting out area by the occupiers of No. 15 St. Ambrose Close.  Use of this area allowed the occupiers to overlook the gardens at both sides of the property from a vantage point of approximately 2.8m high.  More importantly, the use of this area allowed close range views (at approximately 2m distance) into the adjoining occupiers’ bedrooms (No. 17 St. Ambrose Close).  Whilst the Council did not have any powers to prohibit the use of the extension roof as a sitting out area, this policy infringement was considered to be wholly unacceptable.  The raised walkway and balustrade facilitate that use of the extension roof as a sitting out area.  These forms of development were therefore considered to be contrary to Policy 1 of the Council’s “Supplementary Planning Guidance: Amenity Standards” approved in January 1999 as they facilitated the use of the extension roof as a sitting out area resulting in a serious and wholly unacceptable privacy implications for the occupiers of the property adjoining the site.  Whilst it was accepted that a privacy screen could be erected to prevent overlooking and obscure views into the bedrooms of the adjoining property, this was considered to be unacceptable in visual amenity terms.  The recently erected 1.8m bamboo screen was ineffective as a privacy screen as it was, to an extent, transparent. 

 

In view of the comments above, Committee considered it expedient to require the removal of the balustrade and walkway.

 

RESOLVED -

 

(1)       T H A T the Director of Legal, Public Protection and Housing Services be authorised to serve an Enforcement Notice under Section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) to require the removal of the raised walkway and the balustrade erected to enclose the walkway and the decked roof of the existing extension to the rear of No. 15 St. Ambrose Close, Dinas Powys.

 

(2)       T H A T in the event of non-compliance with the Notice, authorisation was also granted to take such legal proceedings as may be required.

 

Reasons for decisions

 

(1)               The development is not considered to accord with Policy ENV27 of the Vale of Glamorgan Unitary Development Plan adopted in March 2005.  Neither does it accord with Policy 1 of the Council’s “Supplementary Planning Guidance: Amenity Standards” approved in January 1999.

 

(2)       To progress action in the event of non-compliance with the Enforcement Notice.

 

 

548     GENERAL PLANNING MATTERS (DEER) -

 

(i)         Report to Planning Committee to propose the confirmation of a Tree Preservation Order - No. 19 Sigginstone, Near Cowbridge

 

The site in question was within the village of and along the approach road into Sigginstone, near Cowbridge.

 

A provisional Tree Preservation Order was served as the first stage towards the re-surveying trees within the Vale of Glamorgan’s area with a view to updating existing records of which, 15% were 40 years old and completely unrepresentative of the current position.

 

Sigginstone was last surveyed in 1973 and there appeared to be no trace of the documented Order and, moreover, the Order did not appear to have been confirmed and therefore had no legal status.

 

The Order referred to some 94 individual trees, 16 groups of trees and three woodland tracts.  A number of representations had been received by the Council, and these were itemised within the report. 

 

Sigginstone had been selected as a first step or pilot study in order to establish a consistent survey methodology, testing administration procedures and to help quantify the resources and time frame for a re-survey programme for the Vale of Glamorgan.  Best practice suggested a pilot study should incorporate an area taking in 100-200 dwellings - Sigginstone, including some properties around the approach roads, amounted to 62, making it a manageable survey to be undertaken by an individual.

 

Mainly trees which contributed to the visual amenity by softening harsh lines of predominantly modern dwellings in Sigginstone were included in the Order. There was a paucity of trees in some parts of the village and as a consequence some trees selected were small young specimens but with potential to grow.  There were no particularly outstanding examples of any species in the village which led to the survey taking account of the wooded tracts on the land between Sigginstone and Llanmihangel.

 

Accommodations had been made in respect of residents’ concerns and the modifications to the proposed Order were detailed in Appendix C to the report.

 

RESOLVED - T H A T the Tree Preservation Order should be confirmed as modified.

 

Reason for decision

 

To accommodate concerns of residents of Sigginstone.

 

 

(ii)        Various Roads, Llandough: Prohibition of Waiting Order: Objections Received

 

Members were advised of objections received to the proposal to introduce a Traffic Regulation Order to prohibit the waiting of vehicles between the hours of 8.00am and 6.00pm on Mondays to Friday inclusive along sections of Dochdwy Road, Pantycelyn Road, Waverley Close, Grassmere Close, Greenhaven Rise and Uplands Crescent, Llandough.

 

At its meeting on 6th September, 2007, the following recommendation had been approved:

 

“That Members resolve to give public notice of the Council’s intention to make an Order under Section 1 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the effect of which was described in Appendix A and shown on Drawing No. T/07/83/MS.”

 

That in the event of no objections being received, the Order be made.

 

Dochdwy Road was the main spine road and a bus route through a residential estate which was located immediately to the east of Llandough Hospital site.  The road also provided access to the Llandough County Primary School.

 

The Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust had adopted a policy of charging for car parking at Llandough Hospital.  One effect of this policy was that some members of the Hospital’s staff elect to park on-street rather than within the Hospital site.  The above proposal, if accepted, would be the latest of a set of waiting restrictions introduced in the surrounding streets since 1998 directly linked to this problem.

 

Public notice of the proposal was given on 14th September, 2007 with any objections to be received in writing by 5th October, 2007. 

 

A number of letters of objection and also of support had been received. 

 

RESOLVED -

 

(1)       T H A T the objections be acceded to and the Order be significantly reduced in length as indicated in Schedule 1 and Drawing No. T/07/93A/MS as contained in Appendix O to the report.

 

(2)       T H A T the revised Order be made and the works progressed.

 

(3)       T H A T the supporters of the original proposal be advised of the Committee’s decision.

 

Reasons for decisions

 

(1)       To comply with the requirements of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

 

(2)       To permit the proposed Traffic Regulation Order to be introduced and the works undertaken.

 

(3)       To clarify Committee’s decision.

 

(Note: Councillor C.L. Osborne spoke with the consent of the Committee.)

 

 

(iii)       St. Andrews Major Church in Wales Primary School; St. Andrews Road (Part) and Britway Road, Dinas Powys: 20m.p.h. Zone Order: Objection Received

 

Members were advised of an objection received to the proposal to introduce a 20m.p.h. speed restriction incorporating speed cushions over parts of St. Andrews Road and Britway Road, Dinas Powys.

 

The Committee at its meeting of 6th September, 2007 approved the following recommendation:

 

“That members resolve to give Public Notice of the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s intention to introduce a 20m.p.h. zone, the effect of which would be as shown in Schedule 1 of Appendix C, and to construct a series of speed cushions and a raised zebra crossing as shown in Schedule 2 of Appendix C.

 

That, in the event of no objections being received, the Order be made and the traffic calming works constructed.”

 

Public Notice of the proposals was given on 14th September, 2007 with any objections being invited in writing by 5th October, 2007.

 

A letter of objection to the proposed speed restriction had been received from Mr. K.M. Lumb of 38A Britway Road, Dinas Powys. 

 

A copy of the letter was appended to the report as Appendix B and contained four main points of objection, as follows:

 

1.                  Difficulties in manoeuvring around the cushions when entering / exiting the property.

2.         The positioning of the cushions in front of the property will pose a direct obstruction if the owner wishes to reposition the entrance to the middle of their property.

3.         A continuous flow of traffic, at peak periods, will further obstruct the owner / occupier leaving the property.

4.         Concern for the owner’s safety whilst in a car or waiting as a pedestrian to cross the road for traffic to potentially veer onto the hard standing to avoid the cushion.

 

Having considered the objections, and responses made by officers, it was

 

RESOLVED -

 

(1)       T H A T the objection be not acceded to and the Order be made as proposed.

 

(2)       T H A T the objector be notified accordingly.

 

Reasons for decisions

 

(1)       To comply with the requirements of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the Highways (Road Hump) Regulations 1999 and the Highways Act 1980.

 

(2)       To allow the necessary works to be undertaken.

 

 

(iv)       Westgate and The Broadshoard, Cowbridge: Variation and Amendments to Waiting Restriction Order

 

Committee approval was sought to introduce amendments to the waiting restrictions in Westgate and The Broadshoard in connection with the proposed new Medical Centre at The Bear Field, Cowbridge.

 

The only access road to the site known as The Broadshoard was some 300m in length serving the sports ground and Leisure Centre and formed a junction with Westgate.  A further arm of The Broadshoard led westwards serving the residential area and the junction priority at that location would be changed to allow the access road to have priority.

 

Currently the northern side of Westgate and both sides of The Broadshoard at the junction, were controlled by short sections of “No Waiting at Anytime” restrictions with additional “Limited Waiting” extending along the northern side of Westgate.

 

The southern side of Westgate was currently uncontrolled at this location and vehicles parked between the Police Station and The Broadshoard frequently obstruct the flow of through traffic, especially heavy goods vehicles.  The additional vehicle movement generated by the Medical Centre and which would be obliged to use this junction would obviously cause greater congestion at times.  It was therefore felt to be appropriate to extend the waiting restrictions on either side of The Broadshoard throughout its length as far as the entrance to the development and for a short section into the residential section to protect the priority junction.  Waiting restrictions would also be placed on Westgate on either side of the junction with The Broadshoard and opposite the junction to allow safer turning and passing movements.

 

These restrictions would reduce the Limited Waiting bays on the northern side of Westgate by 25m either side of the junction.

 

RESOLVED -

 

(1)       T H A T subject to the views of the Chief Constable and other statutory consultees, public notice be given of the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s intention to make a Traffic Regulation Order, the effect of which would be as shown at Appendix A to the report.

 

(2)       T H A T, in the event of no objections being received, the Order be made.

Conversion of agricultural buildings to one dwelling including work from home office.

 

REFUSED  (written representations)

 

In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the conversion and extension of the barn for residential use will entail substantial new building work and is therefore tantamount to the construction of an unsustainable new dwelling in the countryside unjustified for agriculture or forestry purposes.  The proposal represents an unacceptable and intrusive form of residential development that would detract from the rural character and appearance of the Nant Llancarfan Special Landscape Area contrary to Policies ENV1 - Development in the Countryside, ENV8 - Small Scale Rural Conversions, ENV4 - Special Landscape Areas, ENV10 - Conservation of the Countryside, ENV11 - Protection of Landscape Features, ENV27 - Design of New Development, HOUS3 - Dwellings in the Countryside and Strategic Policies 2 - The Environment and 8 -Transportation of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Unitary Development Plan 1996-2011; Supplementary Planning Guidance on The Conversion of Rural Buildings and Sustainable Development; and national guidance contained in Planning Policy Wales  2002.
