3.	Application DM/2020/01438 - Development of 15 dwellings (9 affordable and 6 open market) and other associated development and infrastructure. land off Ty Gwyn Road, Little Mill, NP4 0HU PDF 256 KB Minutes: We considered the report of the application and late correspondence which was recommended for approval subject to the conditions outlined in the report and subject to a Section 106 Agreement. The application had been re-presented to Planning Committee following the decision to agree a motion to defer the application at the Planning Committee meeting on Tuesday 4th June 2024. The reason for the deferral was to enable formal consultation with Llanbadoc Community Council as well as County Councillors Tony Kear and Meirion Howells (Llanbadoc and Usk dual Ward). When the application was originally submitted in October 2020 the site sat within Goetre Fawr Community Council and the Goetre Fawr Ward. Accordingly, consultation at that time had been undertaken with Goetre Fawr Community Council and then Ward Member for Goetre Fawr, County Councillor Bryan Jones. As noted in paragraph 1.3 of the report of the application, the application had been held in abeyance since early 2021. However, the administrative changes to Ward and Parish boundaries in May 2022 meant that the new Council and Members had not been consulted. Further to the deferral at the June 2024 Planning Committee, the relevant consultations had been undertaken on 4th June 2024. https://www.youtube.com/live/LYMFQ4VELzc?si=Px9iPFjZwqXfV2JO&t=122 In noting the detail of the application and the views expressed, it was proposed by County Councillor Jan Butler and seconded by County Councillor Sara Burch that application DM/2020/01438 be approved subject to the conditions outlined in the report and subject to a Section 106 Agreement. Upon being put to the vote, the following votes were recorded: For approval - 11 Against approval - 2 Abstentions - 0 The proposition was carried.
