Planning committee
Decided by Neath Planning and Placemaking Committee on 8 Jul 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Refused
Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.
- Officers advised approval because the proposal complied with the Development Plan and no material considerations outweighed it.
- One representation raised concerns about construction traffic, fire safety, landscape, noise, prime farmland and the lack of community benefits.
- The committee voted 6–4 to refuse because of prime agricultural land loss and cumulative industrialisation.
