It was RESOLVED to confirm as a true record the Minutes of the Meeting of 13 September 2023 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:- A210757 Proposed horsebox fabrication building, to include installation of vehicular access and package treatment plant, Land Adjacent B4338, from junction with C1279 and junction with C1060, Llanybydder To note that the application had been WITHDRAWN from the agenda as further information had been received that hadn’t been included or considered in the report. It was agreed that Officers would circulate an email to Councillors if they were aware that an application had been withdrawn prior to the meeting. _________________________________________________________________ A220035 Erection of a rural enterprise dwelling and workshop, Fferm Cwmcoedog, Mydroilyn, Lampeter To DEFER with power to Officers to approve the application subject to the applicant and the officers reaching an agreement on a reduction in the size of the dwelling and a reduction in the size of the application site and subject to a section 106 Agreement tying the proposed dwelling to the entire land referred to within the application (including Cwmcoedog Farm) 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. For the recommendation: Councillors Ifan Davies, Gethin Davies, Marc Davies, Meirion Davies, Raymond Evans, Hugh Hughes, Chris James, Ceris Jones, Maldwyn Lewis and Gareth Lloyd Against the recommendation: Councillor Mark Strong Abstaining: Councillor Rhodri Evans has temporarily left the meeting and did not submit a vote 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: - • Considered that the building known as Bryn Aur was not owned by the applicant and therefore could not be considered as an alternative property. Even if it was, Members considered that the location of Bryn Aur was inappropriate as it was not located in close proximity to the existing farm buildings. Members were of the opinion that the location of the proposed dwelling was suitable. • There was a labour requirement on the holding which justified the need for a rural enterprise dwelling. • Noted that the applicant had agreed to tie the proposed dwelling to the entire land referred to in the application. • Noted that the applicant had agreed to reduce the size of the property and the application site. • Noted that the application supported young people and would promote the local economy. _________________________________________________________________ A220774 Proposed reinstatement of dwelling to be used as a holiday unit to include installation of package treatment plant and new vehicular access, Ty'n Bwlch, Lledrod To APPROVE the application subject to a Section 106 tying the application site, with the applicant’s main farm holding at Henbant and the whole land associated with Henbant and Ty’n Bwlch. 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. For the recommendation: Councillors Ifan Davies, Gethin Davies, Marc Davies, Meirion Davies, Raymond Evans, Hugh Hughes, Chris James, Ceris Jones, Maldwyn Lewis, Gareth Lloyd and Mark Strong Against the recommendation: None. Abstaining: Councillor Carl Worrall Members did not agree with the recommendation of the Officer, and were of the opinion that the application could be approved for the following reasons:- • The application was within policy for diversification of a dwelling. • That the building retains its substantial appearance as a dwelling. • That the proposal, in terms of its scale and design, would see the building being rebuilt as per its traditional appearance and character, meaning that, visually, it would appear as a conversion, and not a new build. • The application was acceptable as the proposed building was on the footprint of the original dwelling. Members considered the scale to be acceptable as it follows the footprint of the former dwelling and outbuilding. • The applicant had agreed to a Section 106 tying the building to the main farm and associated land which strengthened the case for farm diversification. • This application would assist to promote the economy of the County. • The original dwelling was part of history and within the tithe maps which was important to our county’s heritage.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
