Additional documents:

Minutes:

4.1      UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED that the following planning application be granted subject to the conditions detailed within the report/addendum of the Head of Planning:-

 

S/37325

Replacement of existing steps to west door with new steps and ramp to allow wheelchair access to Church at St Ellis Church, Bridge Street, Llanelli, SA15 3UF

 

[Note: Councillor J. Prosser, having earlier declared an interest in this item, left the Council chamber prior to the consideration and determination thereof].

S/37581

Outline application for residential development at land at Llwyncyfarthwch, Llanelli, SA15 1GY

 


 

4.2       RESOLVED that the following planning application be granted subject to the conditions detailed within the report/addendum of the Head of Planning:-

 

S/37693

Variation of condition no. 3 (the premises shall be used solely for purposes of the storage of shoes) of S/36969 to allow customers to be able to pick up via an appointment only basis at 21 Park View Drive, Kidwelly, SA17 4UP

 

[Note: Councillor J. Gilasbey, having earlier declared an interest in this item, left the Council chamber prior to the consideration and determination thereof].

 

A representation was received objecting to the application re-iterating the points detailed within the Head of Planning’s report with the main emphasis being on the following points:-

 

·         Assurances were given when the previous planning application for B8 storage was being considered that customers would not be allowed to call at the premises.

 

·         Highway safety – there are no details of the parking arrangements for customers.

 

·         Extra traffic movements in the area would need to be taken into account including recent outline planning permission for further residential development on adjacent land. Park View Drive is a residential area and the road layout reflects this.

 

·         The difficulties with the drive out arrangement proposed due to the access alignment plus it will also conflict with the child minding pick up/drop off area.

 

·         Customer collection times should not be allowed to occur between the hours of 8am to 10am and 3pm to 6pm Monday to Friday as this will conflict with the child minding service car vehicle movements (Neighbours property).

 

·         The area on the left inside the garage is the most appropriate area for a collection point and not that shown. The aim is to clearly maximise sales and would mean that the most appropriate use class is A1.

 

The applicant and the Senior Development Management Officer [South] responded to the issues raised.

 

S/37793

An extension to an authorised gypsy caravan site to accommodate two additional static residential gypsy caravans together with the erection of two day/utility rooms, two touring caravans, installation of septic tank and the retention of works to create a hardstanding and new access at land at Ty Newydd, Llwyn Teg, Llannon, Llanelli, SA14 8JN

 

[Note: requests for the Committee to undertake a site visit were not supported on the basis that the reasons for a site visit were not valid reasons and that the report/addendum together with the Powerpoint slides  ...  view the full minutes text for item 4.
