(e) Applications in Conservation Areas –

(i) Cowbridge and Llanblethian

2007/01752/FUL Received on 10 January 2008

Mr. N. England, Pwll, y Darren Farm, Welsh St. Donats, Vale of Glamorgan. CF71 7SS

Robertson Francis Partnership, 5-7 Museum Place, Cardiff, CF10 3BD

The site of the former British Legion Club, Cowbridge.

Demolition of former club house building and replacement with residential development of 12 No. 2 bedroom apartments with associated parking and amenity space.

RECOMMENDED – REFUSAL – The Group felt that whilst not against the principle of development of the site the proposal was of an inappropriate design with a complex mix of materials and represented an over-development of the site. As such, the proposal did not preserve or enhance the character of the Conservation Area.

(ii) Cowbridge with Llanblethian

2008/00026/FUL Received on 4 January 2008

Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Newark, Old Factory House, Factory Road, Llanblethian, Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan, CF71 7JD

Robertson Francis Partnership, 5-7 Museum Place, Cardiff, CF10 3BD

Old Factory House, Factory Road, Llanblethian

Proposed new dwelling incorporating existing residential annexe building.

RECOMMENDED – REFUSAL – The Group felt that the application should be refused on the grounds that the design of the application was not appropriate and would not preserve or enhance the setting and character of this complex of buildings nor that of the Conservation Area.

(iii) East Aberthaw

2008/00086/FUL Received on 22 January 2008

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, Burton Cottage, East Aberthaw, Vale of Glamorgan, CF62 3JB

Harmers Limited, 39 Lamborne Crescent, Cardiff Business Park, Llanishen, Cardiff, CF14 5GG

Land Adjacent to River View, East Aberthaw

Proposed detached cottage style four bedroomed dwelling.

RECOMMENDED – REFUSAL – The Group felt that the development would have an adverse impact on this part of the Conservation Area and on the adjacent Grade II* Listed Building by virtue of the loss of the open space – the retention of which was more in keeping with the character of the area. The Group, therefore, took the view that the proposal would neither preserve nor enhance the Conservation Area.

Fell 1 Ash: remove one limb from Ash and canopy reduction of 25% of another Ash

(b) General –

Trefnant, Penyturnpike Road, Dinas Powys –

Committee considered a proposal to fell six young trees: 2 (Wych) Elms; an Ash, an Oak, an Alder and a Juniper all ranged around the edge of a swimming pool close to the north boundary of the garden. The whole garden was covered by Tree Preservation Order (No. 2), 1954 which had been confirmed on 5^th July, 1955.

None of the trees were mature and all but one were located in confined areas around the swimming pool. For example, the Elm and Ash were in small raised beds and whilst the former tree was clearly dying, the Ash, if left, could undoubtedly cause problems with a retaining wall. There was evidence that patching up with cement had already been carried out. Given the location to the site of the swimming pool and the risks of summer branch drop associated with a mature Ash, this was not an ideal specimen. The Oak, Alder and Juniper were positioned close to a gravel footpath. Again, the Oak and the Alder had the capacity to grow much larger and the Oak had a long life expectancy. On this basis, it seemed likely that some of the trees had suffered due to root severance perhaps during the time the swimming pool and paths were constructed and although young trees could recover, their proximity to structures and their size potential were already causing concern. It was considered that the trees were inappropriately sited and their felling should be seen as an opportunity for new planting smaller native ornamental trees like Crab Apple, Rowan or Wild Cherry.

The larger free-standing Elm which was closer to the interior of the garden was also dying (as Elms commonly do these days once they reach a certain size, being unable withstand attacks by Dutch Elm) and it was recommended that it be replaced with a Field Maple.

RESOLVED – T H A T the application be approved subject to the following conditions:

1. The work shall be carried out in accordance with accepted rules and practices of good tree surgery to conform to B.S. 3998 – Recommendations for Tree Work.

Reason:

To ensure the work is carried out to an acceptable standard.

2. The work hereby approved shall be carried out within twelve months of the date of this consent.

Reason:

To ensure the work is completed within a reasonable time limit.

3. A scheme of tree planting of a size and species to be agreed shall replace those around the swimming pool area although they can be planted elsewhere in the rear garden and one Field Maple of extra heavy standard size shall be planted to replace the larger Elm, southwest of the swimming pool. These replacement trees shall be planted in a dormant state between October 2008 and March 2009 and must be properly staked and watered during periods of drought and shall be so maintained for a period of five years. In the event of any tree dying or becoming diseased it shall be replaced with a similar size tree.

Reason:

To ensure that the visual amenities of the area are protected and to encourage biodiversity.

RESOLVED – T H A T consideration of this item be deferred pending a site visit.

924 GENERAL PLANNING MATTERS (DEER) –

(i) Future Format and Constitution of Conservation Area Advisory Group –

Planning Committee were requested to

· give consideration to the future role of the Council’s Conservation Area Advisory Group and its management

· progress recommendations from the report made to Cabinet of 5^th March, 2008 (a copy of which was attached at Appendix A to the report).

The relevant issues and options were as contained in the background report attached at Appendix B to the report. The Council’s position and objectives in running the Group were as described in paragraphs 17/18. Paragraph 19 discussed the creation of a “Forum” in distinction to the current Group organisation, which may have the following key characteristics:

· smaller size

· wider agenda

· improved strategic outlook

· altered membership

· greater independency.

Also attached as Appendix C to the report were three consultation responses received from Members of the Conservation Area Advisory Group in response to issues raised at the extended meeting of 27^th July, 2007.

RESOLVED –

(1) T H A T the contents of the report be noted, and be referred to the Conservation Area Advisory Group (Extended Meeting) of 16^th April, 2008.

(2) T H A T a further report be submitted to Cabinet and Planning Committee with proposals for the re-organisation of the Conservation Area Advisory Group.

Reasons for decisions

(1) In order to determine the views of the Conservation Area Advisory Group as to the future format of the Group.

(2) In order to provide Cabinet and Planning Committee with a recommended final format and Constitution of the Group which takes account of the consultations undertaken.

(ii) Mount Road, Dinas Powys: Proposed 30 mph Speed Restriction Order –

Approval was sought for the introduction of a Traffic Regulation Order to create a speed restriction of 30 mph over the length of Mount Road, Dinas Powys from its junction with Station Road to its junction with St. Andrew’s Road, a distance of approximately 400 meters.

The Council had introduced a 20 mph speed zone over the length of St. Andrews’s Road and Britway Road, Dinas Powys as part of a “safe routes to school” scheme. This had included a sign indicating a 30 mph speed limit for Mount Road. However, Mount Road did not have a system of street lighting, consequently it required a Traffic Order to implement this restriction.

The village of Dinas Powys was generally subject to a 30 mph speed restriction with a 20 mph restriction outside the school. However, Mount Road as considered in the report was currently subject to the national speed limit of 60 mph with no footway or street lighting. A number of residential properties were situated along its length, and pedestrians had to walk in the carriageway, including children travelling to and from St. Andrew’s Major Church in Wales School.

The local Members and the Chief Constable had been consulted and their responses were awaited.

RESOLVED –
