Call in declined by Welsh Government

As anticipated in our last post, we received a letter from the Welsh Government today which states:

"The Minister for Housing and Regeneration has considered the issues associated with the application in the light of the Welsh Government's policy on call-in (detailed in Planning Policy Wales (Edition 5, November 2012)) and, on the information available, has concluded that it does not raise issues which warrant taking the matter away from the local planning authority. Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council has been informed that the Minister does not consider that the applications should be called-in for determination by the Welsh Ministers. It is now for the Council to determine the application as it sees fit."

Other than express disappointment that the sound arguments we put forward were not accepted there is little to add to our previous post.
