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 Committee approved the application to keep an InPost parcel locker at the Clearway Texaco petrol station. The application is retrospective, which means the locker is already in place.
Decided: The Committee refused the application to change the house into a children's home for up to two children, against the officer recommendation. The reason recorded is that the home has increased fear of crime, would harm community cohesion and would cause more comings and goings and disturbance than is reasonable for a house of this kind, harming neighbours' amenity, contrary to Local Development Plan policies AW5 and AW10.

Decided: The committee deferred the application to a future meeting, so no decision was made. The vote was 14 for and 2 against. Officers were also asked to get a response from the AONB team, which covers the protected landscape.

Decided: Councillors approved application DM/2020/01884 by 13 votes to none, with no abstentions.

It also gave the Interim Chief Officer Economy and Planning delegated authority, meaning power to act without a further committee vote, to approve the final wording of that agreement.
Decided: The Committee granted permission, subject to conditions, for the mobile home to be used only by Mr Shaun Stocker and/or Ms Amy Lloyd and any resident dependants.

An advisory note warns that quarry work nearby may cause noise and dust.
