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 granted three planning applications. They were decided under the Committee's delegated powers, in line with the officers' recommendations. Application 5a changes the use of Red Balloon Nursery, Circle Way East, Pentwyn, to a house in multiple occupation (HMO), meaning a shared house for several separate households. Application 5b is for a discount retail foodstore on Plot A, Wern Fawr Lane, Old St Mellons. Application 5c is for a single storey rear extension at 61 St Anthony Road, Heath.
Decided: The committee agreed that decisions be recorded as shown on the planning applications schedule (Appendix A). It also authorised the Planning and Development Manager to draft any amendments or additional conditions.

Decided: The Committee granted planning permission in line with the officer recommendation, subject to the conditions in the report and the late representations sheet. The vote was 16 in favour, 1 against and 1 abstention.
Decided: The Committee granted planning permission, subject to a Section 106 legal agreement (a legally binding deal between the council and the developer) securing a £175,000 affordable housing contribution, an open space contribution and the conditions in the report. If the parties could not agree the affordable housing figure, the application would return to the Committee.
Decided: The Committee granted planning permission in line with the officer recommendation, subject to the planning conditions in the report and the extra conditions on the late sheet. The vote was 18 in favour and 2 against.
Decided: Members supported the officer recommendation to keep the 2026-2041 Plan period. Members generally supported the principle of a joint settlement hierarchy, which ranks towns and villages by the services they have: Regional Hubs, Key Service Centres and Local and Rural Settlements. They agreed to consider the hierarchy further at future Member sessions before it is finalised. The Panel agreed that its next formal meeting would be in June, after the 2027 local elections, unless an earlier meeting was needed.
Decided: The committee approved application 2026/0393/S73 for land north of Garden Village. It changes condition 3 of the 2019 permission (2016/1478), so that reserved matters for the phases other than Phase 1 are due after 13 years instead of 7. The approval includes the updates reported to the meeting: amended conditions 20 and 21 and a corrected condition 24. It is subject to a revised Section 106 agreement.
Decided: The Committee approved the application, subject to the conditions in section 1.1 of the report. It added a condition that no development may start until a written scheme of investigation has been approved in writing by the Authority, and that the works are carried out in line with it.
Decided: Members resolved to grant planning permission, subject to the completion of a Section 106 agreement (a legal agreement with the developer). The agreement will secure the long-term management of the on-site and off-site habitat mitigation areas.
Decided: Members gave the Chief Officer Economy and Planning delegated authority to grant planning permission to raise the Kop stand's capacity from 5,500 to 7,750 seats. Delegated authority means officers can issue the decision without a further committee vote. Permission depends on two conditions: an assessment under the habitats regulations (rules protecting wildlife sites) must find no significant effect on the River Dee and Bala Lake, and a mitigation scheme must be agreed, including an investigation into a residents' match-day parking scheme, to apply if the second annual Travel Plan monitoring report shows car use has not fallen enough, with any payments secured by a Section 106 agreement.
Decided: Members refused planning permission for a fuel store and flue for a biomass boiler (a heating system that burns wood) at Units 7 and 9, Queensway Industrial Estate. The reason was that insufficient information had been submitted to show the development would not cause unacceptable pollution, which the minute says conflicts with policy GDP1(f) of the Unitary Development Plan.
Decided: Cabinet delegated to the Director of Resources the decision on whether to keep UKSPF grant funding for the revised Coastal Connections project, once the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority decides the planning application. The vote was 7 for and 1 against, from Councillor Jacob Williams.
Decided: The committee granted planning permission for the scheme, subject to the conditions and notes to the applicant (informatives) in the report. The vote was unanimous. Councillor Ellen Jones did not take part in the discussion or vote.
