W/37323

Variation of condition 5 on W/31099 (Noise Imission Level) at land at Wern, Pencader, SA39 9AL

 

The Development Management Officer reported that since the publication of the agenda and addendum, a letter had been received from the developer which reiterated points already raised within their submission documents.

 

Representations were received objecting to the proposed variation of Condition 5, reiterating the points detailed within the Head of Planning’s written report and included the following:-

 

·                     General concern regarding the increase in the noise limit imposed by Condition 5 of W/31099 from 35db to 37dB.

 

·                     Concern regarding the increase in the noise limit, given that the operational turbine already causes disturbance and results in a detrimental impact upon amenity.

 

·                     Concern that no assessment had been made of the current turbine operation to validate whether it was complying with the approved noise limits and whether the rotor blade had been curtailed.

 

·                     Concerns already raised by various neighbours relating to noise impact which was raised during the assessment of W/31099.

 


 

 

·                     Concerns regarding the lack of recognition of “wind shear” in the applicant’s noise assessment.

 

·                     Concern that the operational turbine has not been de-rated.

 

·                     The Council has a duty of care to protect residents.

 

·                     That the wind turbine was within the recommended maximum separation distance of 500m.

 

·                  Allowing the change in change of condition would have a serious effect on neighbouring properties.

 

·                  The existence of the wind turbine in its current configuration had already adversely impacted upon the health and well-being of the owners of the neighbouring property.

 

The Development Management Officer and Environmental Practitioners responded to the issues and queries raised.

 

 

5.2      RESOLVED that the following planning application be granted subject to the conditions detailed within the Report/Addendum of the Head of Planning and or reported at the meeting together with a Section 106 Agreement:-

 

W/37528

Siting of dwelling at land adjacent to Rhos Wen, Heol Caegwyn, Drefach, Llanelli, SA14 7BB
