            That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report of the Chief Officer (Planning and Environment).

The Committee considered the report of the Chief Officer (Planning and Environment) in respect of this application.  The usual consultations had been undertaken and the responses received detailed in the report.

            The officer detailed the background to the report and explained that the application was being considered by the Committee because of its height.  No objections had been received to the application but Caerwys Town Council had requested that the existing structure be removed; this had been included in condition 3.

Councillor Chris Bithell proposed the recommendation for approval which was duly seconded.

In response to a query from Councillor Richard Lloyd, the officer advised that even though Caerwys Town Council had asked for the existing structure to be removed within three months, a condition had been included to remove it within one month of the installation of the new equipment. 

Councillor Jim Falshaw commented on concerns raised by Caerwys Town Council about the separation distances between the mast and a wind turbine.  The officer advised that the telecommunication company were consulted on the wind turbine and had objected to the proposal.  The Development Manager added that the Committee had resolved to grant permission for the wind turbine if no objections were received but as the telecommunications company had objected, planning permission had not been given for the turbine.

            RESOLVED:

            That planning permission be granted subject to the conditions detailed in the report of the Chief Officer (Planning and Environment).
