Planning committee

Decided by Rhondda Planning and Development Committee on 14 Aug 2025.

Approved

As officers recommended.

Officers advised approval because the floodlights would improve the sports facility without significant harm, subject to operating-hour controls.
Three objections raised concerns about light pollution, highway safety, appearance, noise, traffic, drainage, property values and wildlife.
The committee approved the application and amended Condition 3 to remove one word from the operating-hours restriction.
