To consider report of the Planning Officer.

Minutes:

Consideration was given to the report of the Planning Officer.

 

The Service Manager Development and Estates spoke to the report and reminded Members that the application had been refused at February Planning Committee contrary to the officer’s decision. It was noted that the Inspector felt that one car parking space was acceptable as the development was near transport links.

 

The Ward Members noted their disappointment in the approval of this appeal as similar facilities had caused problems for residents in other areas.

 

Discussion ensued around transport links in this area, as Members were of the opinion that public transport across Blaenau Gwent was not sufficient. A Member was of the opinion that the Cwm Ward was no different to other areas in Blaenau Gwent and therefore asked for an explanation on the transport links available.

 

It was reported that an explanation was provided in the Inspector’s Report.

 

RESOLVED that the report be accepted and the appeal decision in relation to planning application C/2019/0308 be noted.
