In noting the detail of the application and the views expressed, it was proposed by County Councillor Jayne McKenna and seconded by County Councillor Ann Webb that application DM/2023/01198 be approved subject to the conditions outlined in the report and the revised wording to condition 3 and reason for condition 10, set out in late correspondence, as follows:

 

3.             All solid waste generated by the development hereby approved shall be exported to an appropriately licensed anaerobic digester facility, and all dirty waters to a licensed wastewater treatment works. No solid waste or wastewater, treated or untreated, shall be spread directly onto any land. Documentary records demonstrating receipt of all exported material by the anaerobic digester facility shall be maintained by the operator of the development hereby approved and be made available to the LPA on request. The development shall comply at all times with the Manure and Dirty Water Plan submitted by Ian Pick Associated Ltd dated June 2023. If any elements of the Manure and Dirty Water Plan change in the future, in particular the final destination of any solid or water waste, a new manure and dirty water management plan must be submitted to the local planning authority and operations in sheds 5 and 6, hereby approved, shall cease until the new management plan is approved in writing by the local planning authority.

 

Reason: To ensure that the waste from the farm is properly disposed of both now and in the future so as to avoid pollution to the environment.

 

The reason for condition 10 was omitted in the report (Construction Environmental Management Plan - Biodiversity) and is thus provided here:

 

Reason: To safeguard habitats and species protected under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended), and Environment (Wales) Act 2016.

 

Upon being put to the vote, the following votes were recorded:

 

For approval             -           12

Against approval      -           0

Abstentions               -           2

 

The proposition was carried.

 

We resolved that application DM/2023/01198 be approved subject to the conditions outlined in the report and the revised wording to condition 3 and reason for condition 10, set out in late correspondence, as follows:

 

3.             All solid waste generated by the development hereby approved shall be exported to an appropriately licensed anaerobic digester facility, and all dirty waters to a licensed wastewater treatment works.
