Appeal

Not lodged

Refused on 21 Apr 2026 · Planning and Development Committee · Last checked 12 Oct 2026

Planning committee

Decided by Rhondda Planning and Development Committee on 16 Apr 2026. Earlier deferred on 5 Mar 2026, 6 Nov 2025.

Refused

Against officer advice, as the minutes record.

Officers advised approval because the use would remain largely residential without harming the area, neighbours or highway safety.
Residents raised concerns about disruption, antisocial behaviour, parking, safety, infrastructure and community cohesion.
The committee refused the application, contrary to the officer recommendation, because of fear of crime, disturbance and harm to amenity.

Site constraints 2

Coal mining development high risk area

Recorded coal mining features at or near the surface. Most planning applications here need a coal mining risk assessment.

From the Mining Remediation Authority, formerly the Coal Authority. The development high risk area marks recorded coal mining features at or near the surface: mine shafts and adits, shallow workings, mine gas and former opencast sites. Most planning applications there need a coal mining risk assessment; householder applications, changes of use and some minor works are exempt. Mine entry positions come from old plans and can be out by several metres, and unrecorded workings can exist anywhere in the coalfield.

Coal mining risk assessments ↗

Radon affected area, class 5

An estimated 10 to 30% of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.

From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.
