Planning committee

Decided by Rhondda Planning and Development Committee on 29 Jan 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the restaurant would suit the town centre and would not cause unacceptable highways, visual or residential amenity impacts.
  • Residents objected over parking, pedestrian safety, waste, vermin, odours, noise and restaurant ventilation.
  • The committee approved the application in accordance with the director’s recommendation.

Site constraints 4

Flood zone 2, rivers and sea
Medium chance: between a 1 in 100 and 1 in 1,000 annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 to 1 in 1,000 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
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.
