Councils have been deciding individual planning applications and progressing local development plan work, including annual monitoring reports due with Welsh Government by 31 October 2026.[1][3]
Written in November 2026 from council records since 20 September 2026, open consultations and official sources. Written automatically, then checked: every point names its sources and every figure appears in them. Follow the links to check anything before relying on it.
Councils decide planning applications for new buildings, extensions and changes of use, and write the local development plan that says where new homes and jobs can go. National parks decide applications inside their boundaries.
Planning officers decide most applications. Larger or disputed ones go to the planning committee of councillors, which meets in public.
Anyone can comment on an application while it's open, usually for 21 days. Stick to planning matters such as traffic, design, noise and overlooking.

Decided: The minute records that decisions be recorded as shown on the Planning Applications Schedule in Appendix A. It also authorises the Planning and Development Manager to draft any amendments to, or additional conditions on, those decisions.
Decided: Members resolved to approve the application.
Decided: Members resolved to grant consent to modify the Section 106 agreement dated 26 February 2019 to allow a mortgagee exclusion clause.
Decided: The committee approved the application for listed building consent, with conditions. The conditions require a detailed phased demolition method agreed in advance, and a qualified conservation professional to supervise the work. They also require a plan to restore the porch and garden, and a historic building record.
Decided: The committee approved the application with conditions, but only once the Land Drainage Unit gives positive comments on surface water. The conditions cover matters such as materials, lighting, signs, highways, biodiversity and a construction plan that sets working hours.
Decided: The committee approved the listed building consent, with 13 conditions. The conditions cover matters such as secondary glazing, reuse of materials from the demolished section, solar panels, lighting, signs and samples of materials.
Decided: The committee refused the application, against the officers' recommendation. The reason given was a lack of need for affordable homes on the part of the site outside the development boundary. Under the cooling-off period, a short pause before the decision takes effect, the application will return to the committee on a later date with a report on the risks.
Decided: The committee approved the application with conditions. The conditions include a five-year time limit, bilingual signs and a construction traffic plan for the trunk roads.
Decided: Planning permission was refused. The minute says the development does not provide a safe means of pedestrian access, so it conflicts with policy GDP1 of the Wrexham Unitary Development Plan, the council's main planning policy document.
Decided: The Committee deferred application 25/02667/FUL for a site visit. No decision was made on the application at this meeting.
Decided: Members voted unanimously to grant planning permission, subject to the conditions in the report. The committee accepted an amendment to the report. The scheme departs from the Local Development Plan for the D2 use, but the report gives reasons for that departure.
Decided: The committee accepted the report and noted the appeal decision for application P/2025/0272, attached as Appendix A. The minute does not give the outcome of the appeal.
Decided: The committee refused the application because of an unsatisfactory impact on highway safety from existing parking congestion in the area, contrary to Policy SW11 (sustainable design and placemaking) of the Merthyr Tydfil Local Development Plan.
Decided: The Committee was minded to approve the application, subject to conditions and payment of the Caeau Mynydd Mawr contribution. It agreed that the Head of Place and Sustainability would issue the decision at the end of the consultation period, unless new planning issues not covered in the report are raised.
Decided: The Committee approved the application subject to the conditions in the report. The vote was 13 in favour, with none against and none abstaining.
Decided: The item was withdrawn from the agenda before the meeting, so no decision was made. It will be presented at a future meeting.
Decided: The Committee approved the application subject to the conditions in the report. The vote was 13 in favour, with none against and none abstaining.
Decided: The Committee approved the application subject to the conditions in the report. The vote was 12 in favour, with none against and none abstaining.
Decided: The Committee approved application 25/0002 for the hydroelectric scheme and associated works. Before the decision, the Head of Planning reported a change to the report to add Trallwn to the electoral ward.
Decided: The Committee approved application 25/0003, subject to a favourable referral to Cadw.
Decided: The Committee approved the Council's Local Impact Report for submission to Planning and Environment Decisions Wales.
Decided: The Committee approved the application for an extension to the clubhouse at Ivor Park Football Pitch to provide more changing rooms.
Decided: The Committee approved the application, with condition 5 amended so that the approved Construction Environmental Management Plan must be carried out throughout construction unless the Local Planning Authority agrees otherwise in writing. The approval is subject to a Section 106 agreement requiring the developer to pay £15,000 towards necessary off-site improvements.
Decided: The Committee approved the application for the signs.
