Determination of Planning Applications under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. PDF 27 KB Additional documents:
Minutes: The Head of Economic Regeneration and Planning submitted a series of planning applications. Amendments to this schedule were reported and are indicated below by (#). RESOLVED that:
(#) (Item 2) Application No.2015/1171 – YGG Lonlas,
Walters Road, Llansamlet. Councillor R A Clay (Llansamlet Ward Member) addressed the Committee and outlined the concerns of the Local Members particularly around the parking problems associated with the current and proposed new school. The Committee were informed of the following updates: The Legal Officer has advised that condition
12 does not appear to
satisfy the Circular tests for planning conditions. The TRO process sits outwith the planning process. There is nothing preventing the Highway
Authority making a TRO which will be subject
to the statutory process that allows for representations to be made. If the TRO was successfully
opposed then it is unlikely that
the LPA would seek to enforce a condition that is desirable rather than a material requirement
necessary to make the development acceptable in planning
terms – particularly as the TRO
process involves elements beyond a developer’s control. Further, the Highways consultation response identifies an existing problem
at the junction. It has not stated that the development (a replacement of the existing school) would exacerbate the existing problem – which is
already within the Highways
Authority’s ambit to remedy. Remove
condition 12 and re-number
conditions 13-19 accordingly. Following receipt of further
comments from Pollution Control, the following
conditions should be added: 19) Prior to
the commencement of development, a remediation strategy
options appraisal, to include all measures to be taken to reduce the environmental and
human health risks identified in the
submitted Phase 1 and Phase 2 Geo-Environmental and Geotechnical
assessments to an acceptable level, in a managed and documented manner, to best practice and current
technical guidance, shall be
submitted to and approved in writing by the Local
Planning Authority. REASON:
To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are
minimised, together with those
to controlled waters, property and ecological systems,
and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without
unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other
offsite receptors. 20) The
development hereby permitted shall not be occupied until the measures approved in the scheme in
condition 19 above
have been implemented and a suitable validation/ verification report has been submitted to and
approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority unless
written consent is given to
any variation. REASON: To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors The application was approved subject to the additional conditions outlined above.
