The Development Control Manager informed the Committee that the application was originally reported to the Planning Committee in November 2008 because it had been advertised as a departure from the development plan and part of the submitted proposal was being recommended for approval. Due to the nature and context of the proposed development, it is considered that it would be beneficial for Members of the Committee to view the site prior to making any determinations.

It was resolved to defer consideration of the application so that a site visit may be undertaken in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.

6.2   41C8C - Full application for the change of use of land for the siting of 33 touring caravans, erection of a toilet block, construction of a vehicular access together with landscaping at Garnedd Ddu, Star

Further information was then submitted in support of the application and in order to allow the expiry of neighbour notification and the consideration of representations and consultation replies arising from this additional information, the application was deferred. However, drainage matters remain under discussion and therefore it is recommended that the application is deferred.

It was resolved to defer consideration of the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and for the reason given.
