July Planning Upddates

Planning updates

Th following application have been approved.

  • Lingfield, 34, Old Port Road, Wenvoe Extension of existing detached garage.
  • 8, Larchwood, Wenvoe Bespoke single storey orangery extension to the rear of the existing dwelling
  • Open Space, Grange Avenue – Play Area, Wenvoe Remove 1 Horse Chestnut and 1 Corsican Pine. Grange Park – Removal of 1 Ash, 1 Corsican Pine, 1 Horse Chestnut and 1 Cherry.
  • Cwm Derwen Farm, Waycock Road, Barry. Erection of single storey pre-fabricated extensions to existing farm building. This will provide facilities for indoor lambing and secure storage for fodder and machinery.

 

The tenders received for the new library exceed the available funding for the project. Possible removal of non-essential works and internal modifications are being considered in addition to other cost saving

options. Hence no work will proceed at the Community Centre at the present time.

Childrens Playgrounds:- The Grange Park designs and tenders have been received by the Vale, consultation with the Community Council will be held within the next few weeks and it is anticipated the new installation should be completed by early autumn. The Twyn-yr-Odyn play area design is approved and awaiting the return of tenders.

A proposal document on possible boundary changes for the ward were discussed. These suggestions will be forwarded to other Community Councils involved in this scheme before any formal proposal is submitted to the Boundary Commission.

A plan to limit parking along the northern section Old Port Road during school start and finish times is being considered with the aim of reducing traffic disruption and increased safety to children. Any such scheme could be ignored by certain parents and hence would require enforcing if it was not to prove pointless.

Complaints have been received about the use of Chapel Terrace, Twyn-yr-Odyn. This is a private road and hence not the responsibility of the Highway authority. Possible solutions were proposed that would hopefully alleviate the situation.

The Council have appointed Claire Harlow as the new Clerk to the Council. She will take up her new post in July.

• 4, Larchwood, Wenvoe. Trim over hanging branches on 2 Oak and an Ash tree.

The following applications have been refused

• 9, Tarrws Close, Wenvoe. Loft conversion incorporating rear dormer with balcony and roof extension front elevation. The size and form of the proposed gable dormer on the front roof plane would unacceptably impact on the character of the existing dwelling and would be out of keeping with the consistent roof form of the bungalows located on the east side of Tarrws Close.

• Poundfield Farm, Pound Lane, Wenvoe. The retention and completion of the existing building to provide ancillary living accommodation associated with the dwelling at Poundfield Farm. The proposed residential annex and associated use of land as extended residential garden is considered to represent an unjustified and unacceptable form of development that would be widely visible from the adjacent public right of way and would have a harmful impact on the character and appearance of the countryside. In addition, the proposals will likely result in long term impacts on the protected Wenvoe Woods, part of which forms the application site.
