1) the undermentioned planning applications Be Approved subject to the conditions in the report and/or indicated below:

#(Item 1) – Planning Application 2021/0889/S73 - Residential development with construction of new vehicular access off Nantong Way (outline) (2006/1902) as varied by Section 73 planning permissions 2014/1189, 2018/1204/S73, 2019/0536/S73 and 2019/2523/S73.  Variation of condition 8 (permanent access off Nantong Way) of Section 73 planning permission 2019/2523/S73 granted 4th June 2020 to extend the trigger to construct the permanent Nantong Way access to 30th April 2022 at Land At Upper Bank, Pentrechwyth, Swansea

A visual presentation was given.

Report updated as follows:

An error is noted on the front cover sheet of the application on Page 28 of the agenda. The site plan indicated is for the permanent access works subject of a separate permission. As the application before Members is a S73 application to vary the original 2006 application (as subsequently amended), there is no requirement to provide a site plan with the application. The plan indicated was submitted for information only and has been incorrectly used but this error has no bearing on the application itself. Actual site plan was clarified in the presentation at Planning Committee.

Application approved subject to the modification of the Highways requirements within the original S106 agreement via a Deed of Variation in respect of the timescales to provide the permanent access off Nantong and subject to the conditions outlined in the report.

#(Item 2) – Planning Application 2021/0978/FUL - Change of use of ground floor from retail (Class A1) to a wine bar (Class A3) at 47 Gower Road, Sketty, Swansea
