An extra three years has been given to a developer so that they can produce detailed plans for a controversial housing development in a mid-Wales village.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year Tyson and Eldrydd Lamp of Plas Dinam Country House lodged a section 73 planning application with Powys County Council.<\/p>\n

This was to vary condition two of a planning permission they had received on the site just over three years ago.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Permission<\/strong><\/p>\n

In June 2022, outline planning permission was given to develop four detached dwellings, garages formation of access and associated works for land opposite Old Barn Close in Llandinam.<\/p>\n

This outline approval settled the principle of developing the site and gave the applicants three years to come up with details in an all matters reserved planning application.<\/p>\n

The original application had been opposed by Llandinam community council on the grounds that it: \u201cincreased traffic on a narrow lane and proximity of the proposed properties to the road would not be of benefit to the village and would possibly increase the likely hood of a traffic accident within the village.\u201d<\/p>\n

A further issue identified by the highways authority in comments they sent as during the consultation process is that part of the land needed for a new access to the site \u2013 was not owned by the applicant.<\/p>\n

However, correspondence between the council and the planning agent Gerallt Davies of Roger Parry and Partners show that the application was changed so that these issues would be dealt with at a later date.<\/p>\n

Mr Davies said: \u201cCould you change the application to be all matters reserved and revert to the original block plan as proposed please.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this, highways will not comment on the application, and there will be no third-party land involvement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will then mean that at reserved matters stage full highway drawings will need to be provided.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Acceptable\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Planning officer Rhian Griffiths said that the proposal was still \u201cconsidered acceptable\u201d under policies in the Powys Local Development Plan (LDP).<\/p>\n

Ms Griffiths said: \u00a0\u201cThe application was made in outline, with all matters reserved for consideration at a later date.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is therefore no consideration being given as part of this application to the matters of layout, scale, appearance, access and landscaping.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo alterations are proposed to the approved development, other than extending the time period for the submission of reserved matters, and commencement of development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe application does not therefore have any different considerations in respect of affordable housing, or density.<\/p>\n

The original outline application was subject to 15 conditions, which are considered to remain relevant to the development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe same conditions will be reapplied to any granting of this application.\u201d<\/p>\n

She went on to approve the application.<\/p>\n

A sustainable drainage application will also need to be agreed before construction work starts.<\/p>\n
