The Vale of Glamorgan Council will defend a planning appeal made against it after it decided not to approve a proposal to build a major new business park. Developers behind the plans to build a business park on land at Model Farm in Rhoose lodged an appeal against the council to Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW) on the basis on non-determination.
The council's planning committee met on Thursday, May 18, to discuss what its reasoning behind not approving the planning application would be. Members of the committee decided that they would like to back up their decision on the basis that the application for a business park intended for the aviation industry would go against the Welsh Government and council's declaration of a climate emergency.
However, the committee's external advisors recommended that extra time be afforded to consider and prepare the wording for the reasons for refusal. The Vale of Glamorgan Council said it was therefore intended for the matter to be brought back to the next planning committee meeting on May 25.
