The application is reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as it has been called in by a Local Member.

Mr Richard Jenkins, a Public Speaker spoke for the application and said that the amendments which he specified, are necessary for the successful and safe operation of the site which Lightsources acquired and developed after the original approval was given. The amendments are standard; do not cause any additional impacts to those considered originally and because some aspects of the infrastructure will be reduced, the impact is less. The Landscape Officer is satisfied that the amendments are suitable and there have been no representations made by the public or consultees. The applicant is liaising with the landowner to agree a permanent sheep grazing licence, and following construction, road repairs were agreed with the Highways Department and have been completed to its satisfaction.

Councillor Ann Griffith speaking as a Local Member said that the residents of Soar are aggrieved and feel that no one is listening to them. They do not object to renewable energy but are fed up with developments and feel there is nothing for them locally and no work locally. They have put up with a lot of inconvenience – construction traffic toing and froing with damage to roads, hedges and ditches and consequent cost to the public purse. Residents feel it reflects a lack of consideration for local people and for the planning process in being retrospective.

The Planning Development Manager informed the Committee that the application is made under Section 73A (rather than Section 73) of the Planning Act as the development has been completed. It is not considered that an EIA is required for the site. The principle of the development is established in the previous granting of planning permission and the site is operational. The application seeks to regularise the development by varying a condition of the original planning permission requiring the development to be implemented in accordance with the approved plans. It is not considered that the proposal causes undue harm in terms of landscape, biodiversity or cultural heritage.

Councillor Jeff Evans proposed that the application be approved and the proposal was seconded by Councillor Richard Owain Jones.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions set out in the written report. (Councillor Ann Griffith abstained from voting)
