4. Planning Application - 22/P/0446/OUT Proposed Mental Health Specialist Inpatient Services Unit and associated highway, drainage and landscape infrastructure 4.1 The Consultant Planner displayed photos and plans for the proposed site and went through the report in detail. 4.2 Afterwards Members asked a number of questions and Officers responded as follows: · In regards parking spaces, the application does not meet the car parking standards for the Health related proposals. The Consultant Planner also stated that discussions around this had been had between himself and the applicant that the unit would be predominantly dealing with Inpatients so there is less need for parking spaces. On the basis of this Highways were satisfied with the provisions. · There were concerns about the potential increase of traffic. The Consultant Planner explained that there would be a contribution to a study on Active Travel linkages to the site. He went on to add that there was still potential for a relief road to be built but this level of development not enough to trigger this, but if wider development materialised in the area this could be included in future proposals. · Environmental issues were discussed, and the Consultant Planner explained that the agricultural land lost was not of a significant quality to cause concern. He also stated that the benefits of the development outweighed the loss of this land both from an agricultural and Special Landscape Area standpoint. The benefits being the location as well as the clinical benefits. He further added that we are unable to mitigate for the loss of agricultural land, but it was an acceptable loss and the proposed landscape enhancements would improve the area. · In regard to the release of the land from Welsh Government, the Business Case will be submitted to WG, and the agents have stated that they believe WG are content with the proposal in terms of the inclusion of their land. · There was a question around the potential timescale for the project, to which the Consultant Planner explained that as WG would be at least part funding the project so they would be responsible for timescales around the project. He reiterated that the Business Case should be submitted in March to WG. 4.3 Members unanimously agreed to approve the application subject to the conditions laid out in the report.
Rhaid i gynghorwyr ddweud pan fydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad personol â rhywbeth sy'n cael ei drafod, fel swydd, eiddo neu aelod o'r teulu. Mae buddiant sy'n rhagfarnu yn ddigon cryf i'r cynghorydd adael yr ystafell fel arfer a pheidio â chymryd rhan.
