Powys Planners Approve Six-House Development in Village Near Brecon

Strategic Insights -

A planning application for six homes on the Cae Waldis site in the village of Bronllys has been approved by Powys planners. The development, proposed by Butler Wall homes, consists of six two-bedroom houses, with four to be sold on the open market and two to become affordable homes. The application was discussed by the Bronllys community, who raised concerns about the concentration of houses on the site, lack of infrastructure, and parking issues.

However, planning officer Catherine James explained that the development complies with relevant planning policy, and the two affordable dwellings exceed the 30% requirement for the area. James also stated that planning obligations are triggered when there are 10 or more dwellings in the scheme, and therefore play provision cannot be secured for this development.
