Summary when the minutes are published, usually a few weeks after the meeting.
Its main business was a Local Impact Report on the Banc Du Energy Parc application, a Development of National Significance that an independent Inspector examines through Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW). Members approved the report for submission to PEDW and agreed that the Chair should write to PEDW about insufficient information in the application.
It granted consent for a six-bed house in multiple occupation in Ystradgynlais, six holiday lodges near Welshpool and four holiday cabins near Newtown, each subject to conditions. It also received a list of planning decisions made by officers under delegated powers.
The committee considered six planning applications at its meeting on 6 August 2026. It granted consent for a replacement wind turbine at Llanidloes, two temporary weather masts, and the removal of occupancy restrictions on a home at Felindre, Knighton. It approved an ambulance station at Llanfyllin against officer advice on flood risk, and referred that decision to Natural Resources Wales.
It deferred one application, granted consent for two others, and could not consider a fourth because the meeting had no quorum (the minimum number of members needed to decide) for it. It also elected a councillor to the Powys Local Access Forum.
The committee considered three planning applications and a proposal to raise hackney carriage taxi fares. It granted consent for three holiday lodges at Henllan Fach, Llangyniew, and for 38 social rent homes at Churchstoke. It also granted consent for three homes at The Bracken Trust, Llandrindod Wells, subject to a Section 106 legal agreement, a binding deal between the council and the developer. It noted the taxi fares report, a proposal due to go to Cabinet.
The Chair leads the committee's meetings, and the Vice Chair stands in when the Chair is absent. The minutes record no other decisions.
The Committee considered a Local Development Plan update, two planning applications and performance figures for planning work. It granted conditional consent for an extension to an agricultural shed at Buttington, and agreed that a shed extension at Sarnau is permitted development, so no full planning application is needed. It also received a list of delegated decisions and the quarter 4 performance report.
The Committee approved two planning applications, refused a third, and approved a minor change to an existing planning permission. It also refused an application to register land at Bronllys as a town or village green and approved revised fees for animal establishment licences from 1 April 2026.
The committee considered a local impact report on the proposed Nant Mithil Energy Park, a plan for up to 30 wind turbines near Llandrindod Wells, and agreed to send it to Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW) to help the appointed Inspector.
The Committee approved all three planning applications it considered. Approval of the Snead application added a manure management plan and a condition that vehicles must not go through Montgomery town. Approval of the Clyro holiday park application amended a condition on the water supply.
