Planning committee

Decided by Rhondda Planning and Development Committee on 2 Jul 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because the site was sustainable, residential in character, and acceptable on amenity, highway and design grounds.
  • Residents raised concerns about stability, drainage, traffic, amenity, character, ecology and construction impacts.
  • The committee refused the application contrary to the officer recommendation because surface-water drainage information was insufficient.

Site constraints 2

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.
