Grid Ref: E: 282159 N: 212417 Valid Date: 18/06/2024 Community Council: Tawe-Uchaf Community Council Applicant: Mr Mac McHugh Location: Cefnmeusydd, Morgan Street, Caehopkin, Abercrave, SA9 1TS Proposal: Change of use from detached domestic dwelling to detached young persons residential care home Application Type: Full application Councillor G Morgan having not been present for the whole of the officer’s presentation did not participate in the discussion or vote on the application. In response to questions regarding the amount of parking on the site, the Highways Officer advised that the application had been assessed against the CSS Wales Parking Standards, relating to care homes for children, which had recommended six parking places. The applicant had however, included seven in the application. In response to a question on whether a condition could be included to restrict staff from parking on the residential street, the Principal Planning Officer advised that such a condition would be unreasonable because the nearby roads were a public highway. It was noted that the local school is called Ysgol Y Cribarth rather than Abercrave as referred to by the School Service in the officer’s report. The Principal Planning Officer advised in response to a question that there was no specific planning policy restricting the number of care homes in an area and it was not the role of the planning system to interfere with the market. The Professional Lead Planning advised that there was no planning policy assessment methodology in Wales to determine the overall needs of care home provision. In response to a question the Professional Lead Planning advised that although the Dyfed-Powys Police was not a statutory consultee, it was consulted due to the crime and safety issues raised by public representations. Its comments are material considerations and it should be noted that it raised no objections to the application subject to a condition that a management plan should be produced. A revised site plan had been received which indicates that the redline boundary of the application site is entirely within the ownership of the applicant and there is no encroachment onto 3rd party land. The Highway Officer confirmed that the public highway goes up to the entrance of the site. It was moved and duly seconded to approve the application as recommended by the officer. RESOLVED: Reason for decision: that the application be granted consent, subject to the conditions set out in the report which is filed with the signed minutes. As officer’s recommendation as set out in the report which is filed with the signed minutes. County Councillors A Davies, C Hall and E Roderick rejoined the meeting.
The Committee received for information a list of decisions made by the Head of Property, Planning and Public Protection during the period between 23 October 2024 and 14 November 2024. An issue was raised regarding what seemed to be an inconsistency in how applications for rural enterprise dwellings are considered and the decisions made. The Professional Lead Planning advised that major planning applications made by Powys County Council which were over 1 hectare or for 10 or more dwellings would be considered by the Committee. Training was being arranged for the Committee regarding rural enterprise dwellings.
