DETAILS:
Third Party Representations - A further letter of objection has been received which
raises issues regarding the amount of power generated by the turbine increasing to
900kw, shadow flicker issues and noise that will be encountered by a proposed new
school.
The power generated by the turbine has been confirmed by the agent to be 500kw. The
issues of shadow flicker and noise from the wind turbine were considered in detail by the
Inspector in the Appeal determination, who concluded that these were not grounds upon
which to refuse the proposal.
Issues are also raised regarding the transport plan submitted which are considered in the
planning report.
South Wales Trunk Roads Agency - Further information has been requested regarding
the transportation of the turbine to the site in order to allow condition 10 to be discharged.
Although there has been substantial correspondence between the agent, the Head of
Transport and the Planning section since the generation of the planning committee report,
in relation to the discharge of condition 10, it remains that the details submitted have not
been satisfactory to allow the release of this condition.
Whilst the agent has endeavoured to submit appropriate highways details to satisfy criteria
a) - k) of condition 10, it remains that a trial run is required to be undertaken before any
development can commence.
Further information is also required and because of the wording of condition 10, i.e. ”No
development shall commence......”, it is not possible to carry out works on site to allow
delivery vehicles to manoeuvre and exit the site for the trial run.
It would appear that an application to vary condition 10 should be submitted, as well as the
additional information required by the Highways section.
In conclusion, it remains that the recommendation is for partial release whereby conditions
6, 7, 8, 9 and 13 can be satisfactorily discharged and it remains that condition 10 cannot
presently be discharged.
