The committee made fact-finding visits to three sites linked to planning application P/23/0065, a large leisure development at Rhydycar West near Merthyr Tydfil. The minute records officers explaining the proposal and members raising questions on access, traffic, trees and wildlife, but it records no decision.
Councillors visited the former Mount Pleasant Hotel in Merthyr Vale to look at planning application P/24/0089, which proposes two flats and a six-bedroom house in multiple occupation. They put questions to officers and heard from the ward councillor, and the minute records no decision. Visits like this let councillors see a site before the Planning Committee considers the application.
