Councillor Maldwyn Lewis declared a personal and prejudicial interest in Application A240479.

 

Mrs Ffion Lloyd declared a personal and prejudicial interest in Application  A230165 and Ms Elin Prysor was present at the meeting to advise on this application.

It was RESOLVED to confirm as a true record the Minutes of the Meeting held on the 11 September 2024

 

Matters arising

None.

Consideration was given to the Report of the Corporate Lead Officer – Economy and Regeneration on the following planning applications which had been considered at a previous meeting and which required further consideration by the Committee:-

 

A200774 Erection of a modest, single storey holiday letting cabin with associated landscaping and the re-location of an existing sub-standard farm access to serve existing farm and the proposed holiday letting cabin. Land At Blaenarthen Farm, Brongest, Newcastle Emlyn

 

To REFUSE the application for the following reasons:-

(i) the proposal was contrary to Policy LU14 of the LDP as the policy does not support cabins for holiday use on new tourism sites.

(ii) the proposal was contrary to Policies DM06 and DM17 of the LDP as it does not complement the site and its surroundings and would negatively impact on the landscape.

A210935 Proposed New Dwelling in connection with established enterprise,

Cambrian Marine Centre, Tegfan, Aberaeron

 

 

To REFUSE the application as the proposed development fails to satisfy the functional and other dwellings test as set out within TAN6 and was not therefore considered to comply with policies S01 and S04 of the Ceredigion Local Development Plan 2007 –2022

A230165 Erection of Rural Enterprise Workers Dwelling, Blaenffynnon, Llanwnnen,

Lampeter

 

A recorded vote was taken in accordance with Part 4, Document I of the Council’s Constitution due to the Committee’s decision being contrary to the Officer recommendation and a significant departure from policy. Councillor Gareth Lloyd proposed against the recommendation, and was seconded by Councillor Chris James.

 

For the recommendation: None

 

Against the recommendation:

Councillors Ifan Davies, Gethin Davies, Marc Davies, Meirion Davies, Rhodri Davies, Raymond Evans, Rhodri Evans, Hugh Hughes, Chris James, Maldwyn Lewis, Gareth Lloyd, Sian Maehrlein (12)

 

Abstaining: None

 

It was agreed to APPROVE the application subject to a Section 106 Obligation  tying the dwelling to the land and subject to conditions including that  permitted development rights be removed to ensure no further additions to the size were made.

 

Members did not agree with the recommendation of the Officers and were of the opinion that the application could be approved for the following reasons:

 

•         Since the initial proposal was refused in 2018 the applicants had built their business and have gained a significant reputation for their prize winning stock

•         The nature of the enterprise was such that limited acreage was required and the applicants have demonstrated a viable enterprise on 32 acres

•         Their business continued to grow in reputation and prestige and local examples of agricultural innovation should be supported

•         The dwelling proposed does not seem overly large in relation to the enterprise and the enterprise accounts demonstrate in the main it could be supported, alongside recognition of the need to entertain purchasers of the stock and a farm office / washroom.

•         Permitted development rights be removed to ensure no further additions to the size were made.
