Vale of Glamorgan AM Jane Hutt has welcomed Welsh Government Minister Carl Sargeant’s decision on the planning appeal by Taylor Wimpey PLC.   The planning appeal was for outline planning permission for residential development of up to 200 dwellings and associated works on land south of Port Road West, Weycock Cross, Barry, Vale of Glamorgan. For the reasons set out in the decision letter,  the Minister for Natural Resources agreed with the Inspector’s conclusions,  and accepted her recommendation that planning permission should be refused.

Jane Hutt said:

“I welcome this announcement from the Minister Carl Sargeant AM,  and I know that the many constituents who have made representations on the issue,  with my support,  will be delighted.”
