Councillor's planning conditions to be discussed
01/07/2020 @ 07:33
A planning application by a Llanfair Caereinion councillor to discharge conditions from a planning approval for a chicken farm granted last year will be discussed by his colleagues tomorrow (Thursday).
Powys County Council's planning committee members will be looking at applications made by Councillors Gareth Jones of LLanfair Caereinion and Gwynfor Thomas of Llansantffraid.
Cllr Jones is a member of the planning committee and will need to declare an interest in the applications.
The conditions for providing a landscaping scheme, details of ground levels, fencing off nearby archaeological remains, a detailed woodland management plan and hedgerow protection scheme, have all been done.
Planning officers recommends the committee approve the report and consider those conditions as “discharged.”
Cllr Jones’ second application is for a non-material amendment to a condition on last years planning approval.
He has applied to remove condition 10 of the approval.
Cllr Jones in his application argues that the condition is not relevant as his farm is far enough away from neighbouring properties for it be an issue.
The nearest neighbours are 180 metres away from the farm.
The planning report also said that the condition was not asked for by PCC’s Environmental Health department.
The report recommends approving the changes and that it does not “materially alter” the scheme.
Cllr Thomas, who is also the council’s vice-chairman, has applied for a change of use of a building at Pont y Pentre, 500 metres to the south west of Llansantffraid, from agricultural use, to a storage and distribution facility.
The report recommends that the application is given conditional consent.
