20/0013/RES Grid Reference: E:332166 N: 263858 Proposal: Reserved matters application following outline consent P/2016/0819 for the erection of 36 dwellings and associated works Site Address: Land Opposite King's Court, Presteigne, Powys.
Considered at the February meeting of the Town Council. Resolved that the following comments be submitted - Outline permission was granted in 2018 and the forthcoming application is for reserved matters relating to 36 new dwellings of various sizes from two to four bedrooms. Thirty percent of these would be affordable (70% of those for sale and the remaining 30% as rent to buy etc). The Town Council's own housing need survey identified a need for affordable properties in the area and it is pleased to see provision is being made within the development.
The Town Council understands that developer discussions with Welsh Water have indicated that connection to the mains sewers would be permitted although work was required to widen the pipes along the B4362 road. The capacity of the sewage system prior to the intended Welsh Water upgrade was discussed with us and Mr. Hughes of Hughes Architects confirmed that he had been told that this would be possible. Members received a full presentation from the Architects in December 2019 as part of the pre planning process and at the time made a number of comments. These are incorporated together with the comments made at the meeting and they are -
The need for adequate provision for parking.
Comprehensive alleviation of flood risk.
hedge retention on the site boundary and if at all possible some hedging within the development.
Connection to the mains sewage system.
The highest possible environmental standard for the homes, incorporating energy efficiency measures such as orientation of properties, solar panels and high BREEAM standards. The Town Council wishes to encourage sustainable development and the building of homes to be as energy efficient as possible. It was also noted that the intention was to use ground source heat pumps but that there would not be any underfloor heating. It was felt that without underfloor heating the heat pumps could prove to be expensive to run and that underfloor heating be re-considered. It also asks that the inclusion of solar panels to assist with running costs be considered as a way of reducing future running costs for occupants. The Town Council was happy that access would be from the B4362 and that the entrance be staggered from the existing Kings Court junction. Members asked that as part of the development a Section 106 agreement be made to provide a pedestrian crossing to give access to the recently completed active travel route and also that some play equipment be required, including, if possible, a fenced toddler area. It was noted that a length of the internal roadway (alongside properties 19-24) only had a pavement shown on one side - the Town Council would like to be assured that this would not be a bar to future adoption of the roadway by the County Council as it believes previous standards required a pavement on both sides.
The Town Council would like to request that the street lighting is suitable and in line with the town's intention to apply for Dark Sky status.
Finally the Town Council has had one letter from a resident outlining concerns. The resident has been advised to submit those comments direct to the planning department but they are included below for your information -
1. Flooding, we are concerned that increased housing and hard standing/tarmac areas could increase the risk of flooding in this area, we have seen such examples recently as in Canon Pyon.
2. Orientation, this would affect us in that we have our master bedroom and kitchen/dining room with windows towards this development. Our back garden could also potentially be visible therefore orientation is a concern due to privacy.
3. The road. If this development were to go ahead we feel that the road should be changed from a 40mph speed limit to a 30mph speed limit due to the increased number of people/families using the pavements etc.
4. Water, can it be confirmed that the sewerage and water supply from Welsh Water is capable of handling this size of development and if work needs to be done is it financially viable?
5. Phosphate levels, I am unfamiliar with this issue and I have not been able to find anything on the Powys CC website. I have read the below information from Herefordshire and given that the development will be close to Clatterbrook which feeds into the Lugg, I wondered if this issue had been taken into consideration. Welsh Water are involved in the matter in the Arrow Ward and so I presume they could be contacted for information relating to this area of Powys. It does state that it can affect developments.

20/0116/OUT Grid Reference: E:331819 N: 263670 Proposal: Outline application (all matters reserved) for residential development of 35 dwellings and all associated works Site Address: Land At Broadaxe Farm, Broadaxe, Presteigne, Powys LD8 2LA.
Considered at the February meeting of the Town Council. Resolved that the following comments be made - Further to the comments made to the pre-planning consultation the Town Council would like to stress the need for -
a section 106 agreement to provide a crossing and a full connection to the existing active travel route in the town;
the 30mph limit to be extended beyond the development (presently a 40mph limit);
properties to be built to the highest possible BREEAM standards in particular with regard to heating/insulation - orienting properties to achieve the maximum solar gain and using pv technology not fossil fuels to provide for energy needs.
For easy reference the comments made by the Town Council to the pre planning consultation are reproduced below -
No issues with access on to the B4355 providing County Highways have no concerns.
Concern at the large number of properties proposed on the site which seemed a high density for this area.
The Council was pleased to see the number of affordable dwellings included in the proposal and felt it would be useful to try to incorporate the need for particular size properties illustrated in the Town Council's last housing survey. A copy is attached.
The Town Council believes the proposed access is outside the 30mph limit and suggests therefore that as part of the development the footway on that side of the road be widened and a crossing provided - adding to the current active travel route along the by pass, and that via the County Council an extension of the 30 mph, beyond the new site access be made.
The Town Council appreciates that this number of dwellings will increase the pressure on the town facilities and would ask that the consideration of some form of planning gain such as the provision of green space on the site, a financial contribution towards the town play areas or Went's Meadow park for example. Dwellings to be constructed to at least BREEAM 4 standard.
The Town Council would like to request that the street lighting is suitable and in line with the town's intention to apply for Dark Sky status.
Subject to the comments above the Town Council has no objections to the application.

COMMITTEE DATE 3RD OCTOBER 2019: SEE PCC WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION.
Considered at the July Meeting of the Town Council. Resolved to object to the application. See full letter here. Amended Information considered at the September meeting and following comments submitted -
None of the issues raised in July have been addressed and in particular rotating the angle of the property (and so becoming closer to the fence line) has not changed the fundamental issues with the proposal. Noted that the plans still show footway/pavement along the sides of the access road and these do not exist. Pedestrians therefore have to walk in the road. Members also asked for a reply on the question of criminal damage raised in my July letter and again raised concerns about the removal of trees - feeling it could not be justified. Finally the Council asks why it was not formally consulted on the amended information. Had this not been raised by a resident it would not have been aware of any changes.

19/0777/OUT Grid Reference: E:331758 N: 264485 Proposal: Erection of a rural enterprise dwelling, formation of vehicular access and all associated works (outline) with all matters reserved Site Address: Land At Fold Farm, Presteigne.
Considered at the June Meeting of the Town Council. Resolved that the following comments be made -
Whilst having no objection in principle, Members felt that the site selected was not suitable and that the unit, (if a rural enterprise dwelling is justified), should be sited immediately adjacent to the farm buildings (to facilitate access to the livestock concerned) not adjacent to the existing residential properties.
To repeat that the site is presently situated behind a padlocked gate (blocking a long standing footpath currently subject to a DMMO application).
The locked gate is of additional concern because of the lack of easy/urgent access for emergency services to this proposed residential unit sited beyond that gate and this needs to be addressed.

Considered at the April meeting of the Town Council. Resolved that the folllowing comments be made -
Noted that the applicant had tried to address the issues raised on the earlier application but felt that the visual impact has not been reduced sufficiently to satisfy its concerns. On the issue of access the Council noted that this had been moved and that the safety of this will be assessed by the Highways Section prior to approval. Agreed to repeat the comments made on the previous application - these are below -
This application was discussed at the meeting of the Town Council held last night. Members noted that the applicant had tried to address the issues identified with the earlier application however they asked that I repeat their earlier concerns which were -
The Town Council has strong concerns about this application and would like to make the following comments -
Appropriateness of size/scale of the proposed cabins which seem too large for their setting and in comparison with nearby buildings.
Concern at the access onto a dangerous stretch of road, where the Town Council has for some time been pressing for the introduction of a lower speed limit (50mph). If the application is granted then the introduction of such a speed limit should be considered essential.
Linked to the access concerns, the Town Council also believes that the vehicle movement figures seem low and have been underestimated.
Further development in this area will lead to the creation of a new settlement 'village' outside the town boundary.
If permission is given then use as permanent residential accommodation should not at any point be granted.
The Town Council would also like to point out that the DAS refers to residential accommodation adjacent -and would like to clarify that this is not permanent accommodation but holiday accommodation

Pre planning Consultation: Erection of a poultry pullet rearing unit and silos and associated works at Land at Old Impton Farm, Norton. NOTE THAT A FORMAL PLANNING APPLICATION WILL NEED TO BE MADE IN DUE COURSE.
Considered at the June Meeting of the Town Council. Resolved to submit the following -
Concerns which the Town Council would like to see addressed and more detail provided were -
- A private water supply to Norton Manor Park runs from near to the applicant's land and close to where manure will be spread. Possible contamination is a concern that needs addressing. It may also be beneficial to contact Mr. Barr, the Park owner, to discuss how to alleviate these concerns.
- As the site will be reached via a sharp right hand turn into Mynd Lane in the centre of Norton village and the Town Council would like more detail on vehicle movements and implications for Norton village. The Knighton side of the village is reached via a dangerous pinch point at the crest of the bank and vehicle movements from this direction are therefore of particular concern.
Fact Sheet from Landowner here.
P/2018/0554, Grid Ref: 331776/264521 for Full: Change of use of land for the siting of a key worker residential mobile home and all associated work at The Fold, Presteigne.
Considered at the June meeting of the Town Council. Resolved that the following comments be made - Whilst having no objection in principle to a temporary agricultural worker mobile home Members felt that the site selected was not suitable and that the unit should be sited immediately adjacent to the farm buildings (to facilitate access to the livestock concerned) not adjacent to the existing residential properties. Members also asked that I make you aware that the site is presently situated behind a padlocked gate (blocking a footpath currently subject to a DMMO application). This is a concern to the Town Council because of the lack of easy/urgent access for emergency services to the proposed residential unit beyond that gate and needs to be addressed.

The Town Council considered the amended description for the above application. It does however still wish to object to the application and repeats its earlier comments -
whilst car parking is provided for the new properties the development removes the parking from the existing properties
the site is outside the current development plan
the current sewerage system is reaching capacity and this should be borne in mind when granting permission.
It would also like it to be noted that the Town Council has a right of access across part of the land to enter the community field known as Eddie's Meadow.
The Council would like to point out that a covenant is in place on part of the land which prevents the building of structures. A copy of the County Council's own sale particulars indicating this is attached, together with a copy of the Land Registry entry. This should be noted for reference on submission of a full planning application.
It also has concerns that building will take place at the Warden, an ancient monument site and asks that CADW be consulted (if this has not already been done).

Resolved to object to the above application for the following reasons - over time trees have been continually removed from the site thus removing the screening of the properties generally, the Council feels that the problem with this site (and others in the past) is that units have been replaced with considerably larger ones which are then of course closer to the surrounding trees, the Council requests that the site owners carry out a full tree survey of the site to identify the wider picture and so that an overall replacement planting scheme and organised removal can be planned rather than the individual piecemeal approach currently employed.

P/2016/0819, Grid Ref: 332156.74/263845.56 for Outline: Proposed residential development of 27 dwellings to include creation of new access at Land Opposite Kings Court, Presteigne.
Considered at the August Meeting of the Town Council. Resolved that no objections be raised subject to the following -
the need to retain or replace existing hedgerows must be a condition of the application and fully enforced;
the Town Council would like to point out that it was consulted on the principle of development on the site but not on the actual application itself;
the Town Council assumes that Welsh Water will be fully consulted on the sewerage capacity in the town but would like to point out that there are serious capacity issues in the town;
Page 7 (2.1) of the Flood Risk Assessment refers to a different site completely - the Town Council would like the accompanying data to be checked and confirmed in case of further 'cut and paste' issues;
finally and most importantly the Town Council has sought clarification from Hughes Architects on the amount of affordable housing to be provided and has received an email confirming that 4 of the self builds shall be affordable via a Section 106 and that 5 other houses shall be provided by a Section 106 as affordable houses also. The Town Council would wish these to be provided and asks that this is ensured through a relevant Section 106 agreement.
Given the short time scale the Council may add to or amend these comments at a later date should it receive representations from the public.
Subject to the above the Town Council has no objections to the application.

the drainage/sewerage arrangements for the site are fully and properly investigated and addressed given the problems already existing with flooding of the Clatterbrook and the view of Welsh Water that the sewerage capacity in the town has been reached.

Considered at the May 2015 Town Council Meeting. Resolved that the following comments be made -
The Town Council feels that the opportunity should be taken to review the screening of the site. Trees planted for screening previously have one by one been removed for various reasons resulting in the site becoming more and more visible. The Town Council would like to suggest that a full tree survey is done so that a maintenance/replacement plan can be drawn up and adequate screening of the site be achieved. It was noted that sites 62-67 appear to be outside the boundary of the certificate requested. It is also strongly suggested that a habitat survey be carried out over the whole site but, particularly in the area of sites 62-67. The Town Council does not wish to comment on the legal issues involved in determining the application.

P/2014/0794, removal of conditions 14 and 15 of planning permission P2010/0343 to allow units to be occupied as full residential units at Rockbridge Park, Discoyd. Considered at the August 2014 meeting of the Town Council and comments submitted were
The Town Council wishes to object to the removal of the conditions on the following grounds -
the removal of the conditions would set a precedent for the removal of such conditions on other holiday properties in the area (properties that received the original planning permission because they were for holiday accommodation only and whose suitability was assessed accordingly);
the Council is concerned at the loss of available holiday accommodation in the area which it feels is very much needed locally;
the increased foot and vehicular traffic along the main road from the site into Presteigne created by permanent residential use of the site.
P2014 0732 LBC, conversion of former doctors surgery and apartment to form an annex to include internal alterations at Warden Court, St. David's Street, Presteigne. Considered at the August 2014 meeting of the Town Council. No objections raised.
P2012/0573 full, new site access road from A4113 to the Llanshay Lane and the creation of passing places to enable access to the consented Reeves Hill wind farm at agricultural land south of A4113, Knighton. Considered at the August 2014 meeting of the Town Council and comments submitted were
The Town Council wishes to object to the granting of permission for the access road for the following reasons -
The Council feels it is impossible to determine this application without reference to the impact of the whole development and it's effect on the area and indeed understands that had the development been sited wholly in Wales then both the access works and the site would have had to be submitted as one application and so would have been considered together.
The opposition to the wind farm itself, which is supported by the survey conducted by the Stonewall Hill Conservation Group which indicated 92% of Norton residents are opposed to all aspects of the proposed development. (Norton residents will be the most affected by sight and noise from the proposed wind farm).
Stonewall Hill is special place, unique on the Welsh/English border with the road and it's historical stone wall defining that boundary and from which extensive views of the Marches are available. The proposed access road will change the character of the whole area, presently a tranquil and beautiful spot appreciated by locals and visitors alike. The area is a haven for many forms of wildlife and indeed since the Town Council's letter of June 2012 red kites have been sited in the area.
The proposed road will impact on tourism and leisure uses for Stonewall Hill and thus destroy a much loved and well used local beauty spot. It would effectively industrialise the road and its surroundings and destroy the nature of the road and its setting in the rural countryside.
To incorporate the access road the ancient medieval stone wall will need to be breeched in four places, a clear destruction of such a historical landmark in the area. Indeed the wall is the historic boundary between England and Wales.
The damage, wear and tear to all local roads and especially Stonewall Hill/Llanshay Lane will be considerable and the impact to local flora and fauna severe and irreparable.
P/2014/0508, full, erection of a holiday chalet with new vehicular access at Harp Meadow, Warden Road, Presteigne. Considered at the July 2014 Council Meeting and comments submitted were
'The Town Council would wish to ensure that the chalet is retained for holiday use only as permanent residential use would constitute development in the open countryside. To this end it would wish to see the following conditions as part of the planning permission -
the chalet shall be occupied for no longer than 50 weeks per year
the chalet shall be used for holiday purposes only and should not be used as a sole residence
the period of each let shall be no longer than six weeks with no return by the same holiday maker within six weeks
a record of all lets should be maintained and be kept available for inspection by the local authority'
