Dear FOI Unit,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and/or the Environmental
Information Regulations 2004 (whichever regime the Council considers
applicable to the material), I am requesting information held in relation
to:

   - Planning application *89/01396/OUT* (outline permission granted 13
   March 1990); and
   - The subsequent reserved matters application *92/00671/RES*,

both concerning land at Great House Farm, Leckwith Road, Llandough,
subsequently developed as Church View Close.

I am seeking to reconstruct the documentary planning and consultation
record between the outline permission and the subsequent
detailed/reserved-matters approval.
1. Consultation responses to application 89/01396/OUT

The Council's own case officer's report on application 89/01396/OUT
records, in its consultations section:

"Cardiff Bay Development Corporation: No objections – however, the
Corporation would hope that the trees on the slope of the site facing
north-west are retained and that the public right of way which runs through
the site will be retained."

The same report refers to further consultation responses from the *National
Rivers Authority* and the *County Engineer* by reference to attached typed
sheets ("please type attached sh②" and "please type attached sh③"), without
reproducing their substantive contents in the disclosed copy.

Please therefore provide:

   1.

   The *complete original written response from the Cardiff Bay Development
   Corporation* concerning application 89/01396/OUT, including any
   accompanying letter, report, plan, attachment or other document forming
   part of that consultation response.
   2.

   The *complete National Rivers Authority consultation response* referred
   to in the report as one of the attached sheets, including the original
   document and any accompanying material.
   3.

   The *complete County Engineer consultation response* referred to in the
   report as one of the attached sheets, including the original document and
   any accompanying material.

I am deliberately not relying upon the handwritten numbering of sheets ②
and ③ to identify which sheet belongs to which consultee, as the numerals
are difficult to distinguish in the surviving copy. Please identify the
corresponding sheet/document by reference to its contents or file
provenance.

   4. Any *covering correspondence, transmission record or internal record*
   showing when the NRA and County Engineer responses were received by the
   Council and how those responses were placed on, incorporated into or
   considered as part of the planning file.

2. Archaeological assessment and discharge of outline conditions

Please provide:

   5.

   The *formal decision notice and complete schedule of conditions* issued
   in connection with planning application 89/01396/OUT, including any
   condition concerning archaeological investigation, evaluation, assessment,
   excavation, recording, preservation or protection.
   6.

   All records held by the Council demonstrating the *discharge,
   implementation or consideration of any archaeological condition*
   attached to the 1990 outline permission, including any archaeological
   evaluation, field assessment, report, correspondence, approval, discharge
   notice, consultation response or internal officer record.
   7.

   Any correspondence or documentation showing how the Council considered
   the findings of that archaeological work in determining the subsequent
   reserved matters application 92/00671/RES.

3. Reserved matters application 92/00671/RES

Please provide:

   8.

   The *formal decision notice* for application 92/00671/RES, including the
   complete schedule of any conditions attached to the approval.
   9.

   The consultation responses and representations received in connection
   with 92/00671/RES, including any response or representation from
the *Cardiff
   Bay Development Corporation*, if one exists.
   10.

   Any officer report, committee report, delegated report, recommendation
   or internal planning assessment relating to the determination of
   92/00671/RES.
   11.

   Any document recording the Council's consideration of the relationship
   between the reserved-matters proposal and the parameters established by the
   outline permission 89/01396/OUT.

4. Change from the outline scheme to the reserved-matters scheme

The officer's report for the outline application describes the indicative
scheme as *18 dwellings*, whereas the subsequent reserved-matters scheme
appears to comprise *20 dwellings*.

Please therefore provide:

   12.

   Any document held by the Council recording or explaining the change from
   the indicative *18-dwelling* scheme at outline stage to the *20-dwelling*
   scheme submitted/approved at reserved-matters stage.
   13.

   Any planning assessment, officer report, correspondence,
   committee/delegated report or other record explaining the planning basis
   upon which the additional two dwellings were considered acceptable under
   the outline permission.
   14.

   Any document identifying the relevant condition, parameter, planning
   provision or other mechanism under application 89/01396/OUT under which the
   reserved-matters scheme was considered capable of differing from the
   indicative 18-dwelling layout.

5. Scope and record availability

For the avoidance of doubt, this is *not a request for a general search of
all historic records concerning Great House Farm*. It is specifically
directed to the planning records and decision-making documents identified
above for applications *89/01396/OUT and 92/00671/RES*.

Please search the relevant planning application files and associated
archived/scanned material, including attachments and documents stored
separately from the principal application file where those documents form
part of the application or consultation record.

Please supply the information electronically, such as scanned copies, where
practicable.

If any requested record is *not held*, please confirm this specifically for
the relevant item rather than leaving the point unanswered.

If the Council considers that any information is exempt from disclosure,
please identify the *specific exemption or exception relied upon* and
explain its application.

If any of the identified historical records were previously held but are no
longer available, please confirm, where recorded:

   - whether the record was destroyed, transferred, archived elsewhere or
   otherwise disposed of;
   - the date or approximate date of that action, if recorded;
   - the authority or process under which it occurred; and
   - whether any surviving catalogue, disposal schedule, transfer record or
   other audit trail exists.

I also understand that the application for housing began much further back
as a petition was made in 1974 for 13 houses. Please could you give me a
reference or link or that entire planning application record too.

 Please acknowledge receipt of this request and provide a reference number.

I understand that the statutory response period is 20 working days.

Regards,
