Planning Updates November 2023

•Greenacres. Morfa Lane. Ground and first floor extension to existing detached garage. Rejected. The Vale considered that the resulting building would be disproportionate in scale to the existing dwelling resulting in an unacceptable impact on the countryside

•Teleview Kennels St Lythans. Conversion of single storey admin and accommodation building into a two-storey dwelling and demolition of existing kennel block. Rejected. Among the reasons given was that ‘by virtue of its isolated position was outside of any defined settlement, the site is considered to be in an unsustainable and unsuitable location where the new converted dwelling would be remote from day to day amenities/services.’

•7 Orchard Close. Roof conversion to form additional bedrooms. Approved

    • The Walled Garden. Approval sought to extend existing permission for an extension. Approved

    The area around the new Hub patio has now been reseeded while some of the surrounding trees have been cutback to prevent encroachment into neighbouring properties. Discussions are taking place with the owner of the adjacent ‘conifer’ hedge in an attempt to reach an agreement on the way forward over this rather unsightly area.

    A request has been received to allow a fast-food van to be sited in the Community Centre car park for several hours a day. After discussion on the impact this would have on parking facilities, Council rejected the proposal.

    Following the Vale Council decision to close some facilities at the Alps, the Hub has agreed to take over the distribution of recycling bags and boxes once they have storage facilities. Quotes are being sought to upgrade the storage sheds at the rear of the Community Centre for this and other usages.

Following a vote it was also agreed that the Wenvoe precept will be increased by 3% for the new financial year.

Great Glamorgan Way Route

This involves a series of joined up footpaths and bridle ways across parts of South Wales with improvements to surfaces where required. This is evolving and as far as Wenvoe is concerned involves pathways from The Downs to Whitehall Farm across to Alps Quarry and Leckwith Woods.

Wenvoe Festival

In view of the amount of work involved in organising this together with the need to arrange sponsorship and satisfy various regulations it has been decided to postpone the event until July 2024.
