Summary
A new three-bedroom house is proposed for land at Bedw Cottage, Whitford Road. The site is currently a builders' yard, so this application would change how the land is used.
The nearest bus stop is about a 5-10 minute walk away on Whitford Road. The closest school is also about a 5-10 minute walk away, and the nearest hospital is about a 5-minute drive.
Checks on the ground show a higher chance of radon gas here, a natural gas that can build up inside buildings if it is not managed. Most nearby homes are shielded by other buildings from the site, with only one property to the west, a couple of minutes' walk away, having a clear view across.
The council's wording below is the official record. This summary was made automatically from the council's notice.
