Minutes:

5.1     UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED that the following planning applications be granted subject to the conditions detailed within the Report of the Head of Planning and or reported at the meeting:-

 

W/39871

Conversion of barn into a holiday let at Pantybarcud, Velindre, Llandysul, SA44 5XJ

 

W/40201

Demolition of existing kitchen, bathroom and outbuilding. Construction of single store flat roof extension to dwelling to include kitchen and bathroom at 53 Hillcroft, Heol Blaenhirwaun, Drefach, Llanelli, SA14 7AJ.

 

 

5.2     RESOLVED that Planning application W/39913 be granted, contrary to the Head of Planning’s recommendation to refuse, on the basis that the proposed development was deemed to be within the policy of H5, SP15 and TSM4 and that the necessary conditions be imposed.

 

W/39913

Conversion of a principal outbuilding, the dismantle and reconstruction of an attached existing outbuilding together with a connecting extension to form two holiday accommodation units at Bwlch, Capel Iwan, Newcastle Emlyn, SA38 9NW

 

The Senior Development Management Officer [East] reported that he had received an e-mail from the agent clarifying that the new build element of the proposal although of a two-storey form, it only provides for single storey accommodation within. The agent did however understand and appreciate the draft reason for refusal in a policy context.

 

A representation was made by the local Member, who stated that he was in support of the application, contrary to the officers recommendation to refuse and commented that the as the aim of the development was to adapt on old pig sty to be able to accommodate visitors by re-using the original stones the building would therefore not be out of character.  Reference was made to a report developed by the Carmarthen Rural Affairs Task Group where it acknowledged concerns that rural areas were being left behind and that the key to sustainability was to encourage Tourism where possible.  The local Member strongly expressed that the applicants should not be prevented in pursuing the proposed development which supported tourism in the area.  In addition, contrary to the Officers recommendation to refuse the application, it was felt that the extension would be an improvement and was not deemed to be an extensive alteration and therefore proposed to grant the application, which was seconded.

 

The Senior Development Management Officer [East] reiterated to the Committee the reasons why the application was recommended for refusal as outlined in the report.  The proposed development amounted to an extensive alteration, extension and re-construction to facilitate the creation of two holiday units and as such was considered contrary to Policies TSM4 and H5 of the Carmarthenshire County Local Development Plan 2014 and paragraph 3.4.1 of Technical Advice Note 23: Economic Development February 2014.

 

The consensus of the Committee believed that the interpretation of the application was subjective.

 

The Committee agreed that the necessary conditions should be imposed.
