Modular nursery building at Parc Arthur, New Quay
Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by Ceredigion Development Management Committee on 8 Oct 2025.
What officers recommended
Officers recommended approval because the replacement was acceptable in principle and its scale, design and materials were considered suitable.
“Principle of Development As the proposed development aims to replace a previous extant nursery structure on site heavily damaged and subsequently torn down following recent adverse weather events, the proposed replacement would not undermine the overall strategy of the LDP as laid out in policies S01 and S03 and is acceptable in principle.”
“Design and Visual Impact Statement Policy DM06 of Ceredigion County Councils Local Development Plan notes that development should have full regard, and positively contribute to the context of its location and surroundings. Development should reflect a clear understanding of design principles, the local physical, social, economic, and environmental context.”
Officer report
Design and living conditions
The building was considered unlikely to cause significant harm through noise, privacy or outlook, and its materials were more durable than before.
“Residential Amenity As the proposed structure is of a non-residential nature intending to replace a previously extant nursery, it is deemed that the proposed would be unlikely to generate significant harm in relation to noise. Furthermore, as no residential properties exist within a 40 metre radius from the site in question, no concern is raised in light of the proposed development as to the potential for significant harm in relation to privacy or outlook.”
