5.3 RESOLVED:-

 

5.3.1

that Planning application W/40030 be granted contrary to the Head of Planning’s recommendation to refuse on the basis the Committee considered the proposed development met some of the tests of TAN6 in that the applicant met the requirement for an additional dwelling on the site, the financial viability was proven, the siting of the proposed dwelling was considered to be sufficiently close to the main farm complex at Blaenffos Farm and complied with the test for the provision of affordable housing/rural enterprise dwelling

5.3.2

The consent is granted subject to the following two particular conditions:

 

  1. the dwelling at the main farm holding at Blaenffos Farm together with the proposed new dwelling were both to be regarded as Rural Enterprise Dwellings and tied to the farm complex thereby avoiding the potential for the future fragmentation of the farm holding to occur

2.     no work shall be commenced on the proposed new dwelling prior to the signing of the appropriate legal agreement required under TAN6 for the transfer of the ownership of the farm holding to the applicant

 

W/40030

PROPOSED RURAL ENTERPRISE DWELLING TO INCLUDE VEHICULAR ACCESS, AND INSTALLATION OF PACKAGE TREATMENT PLANT AT MOELFRYN, PANTYBWLCH, NEWCASTLE EMLYN, SA38 9JE

(NOTE:

[No

1. At 1:23 pm the Committee’s attention was drawn to Council Procedure Rule (CPR) 9 – Duration of Meeting and, as the meeting had been underway for nearly three hours, it was resolved to suspend standing orders, in accordance with CPR 23.1, to enable the Committee to complete the remaining business on the agenda.

2. The Chair left the meeting at 1.23 p.m. and the Vice-Chair, Councillor H.I. Jones, chaired the remainder of the meeting]

 

The Committee had regard to the report of the Head of Planning detailing the reasons for recommending refusal of application W/40030 on the basis it failed to fully comply with the 5 tests set out within Technical Advice Note 6 (TAN6) for the approval of a Rural Enterprise Dwelling. However, in relation to those tests, it was contended the applicant had met some of those tests in whole or in part in that they had proved the need for an additional dwelling on the site, they met the financial test, the siting of the dwelling was considered to be sufficiently close to the main farm complex at Blaenffos Farm and complied with the test for an affordable housing/rural enterprise dwelling. For those reasons the Committee considered the application should be granted contrary to the Head of Planning’s recommendation but that any consent should be subject to the following two particular conditions:-

 

  1. the dwelling at the main farm holding at Blaenffos Farm, together with the proposed new dwelling, were both to be regarded as Rural Enterprise Dwellings and tied to the farm complex thereby avoiding the potential for the future fragmentation of the farm holding to occur
  2. no work shall be commenced on the proposed new dwelling prior to the signing of the appropriate legal agreement required under TAN6 for the transfer of the ownership of the farm holding to the applicant
