Application - 2015/2308 - The Bungalow, Parkmill,
Swansea. A visual presentation was provided. Christine
Lloyd(neighbour) addressed the Committee relating to the issue of issue
of asbestos on the site. Late correspondence received from the objector to the
application. Concern is expressed within this correspondence that the planning
application forms indicate that the proposal does not involve hazardous waste,
whereas it is alleged that the building contains asbestos. The objector has requested that the application forms be
consequently amended. The Case Officer has discussed this matter with the agent,
who has advised that an asbestos survey has not yet been carried out, and hence
at this point in time, they are not aware of there being asbestos within the
application building. On this basis, they have indicated that the proposal does
not involve hazardous substances. Whilst not a material planning consideration, the agent has
however advised that an asbestos survey will be carried out in due course. The objector has been advised that if she continues to have
concerns on this matter, she should contact the Health & Safety Executive
for advice. Application approved in accordance with recommendation,
subject to the use of the following additional informative. 7. The
applicant/developer is advised to take appropriate professional advice prior to
the demolition of the existing dwelling, particularly in relation to the
potential for asbestos to be present within the dwelling. (2) the undermentioned planning applications BE REFUSED for the reasons indicated in the report and/or below: (Item 2) Planning Application - 2015/2522 - Former Hills Colliery, Heol Dywyll, Clydach, Swansea. The agent has submitted a report relating to coal mining issues, and submitted information suggesting the applicant would be prepared to reduce the site area to move away from protected trees, and amend the proposal so that the stables, store and birthing stable are included as one building. In view of this, a request has been made for Committee to defer the application. Officers advised that the information submitted is significantly different from the originally submitted scheme and does not address all the reasons for refusal. It was considered that the application should be considered on the basis of the originally submitted details. Members did not resolve to defer the application and considered the report. Late letter received expressing concerns over additional traffic and access. Councillor P B Smith (Local Member) addressed the Committee and spoke in support of the recommendation of refusal. |
