Development of a natural compressed bio-gas fuel
facility for vehicles including fuel pumps, equipment compound, creation of new
accesses, landscaping and associated development.
Some members had
visited the site on 10/06/22.
It was explained
that the proposal related to the development of a Bio-CNG (compressed bio
natural gas) vehicle fuel facility, including fuel pump islands, machinery
compound, creation of a new access and associated development within Bryn Cegin
Industrial Estate. It was noted that the facility would serve logistics and
distribution operators and would operate for 24 hours a day, without staff,
with drivers activating the pumps with an automatic fob. It was noted that the
proposal entailed the development of an empty plot within the Parc Bryn Cegin
Industrial Estate, which had been designated and protected in the LDP as a
Regional Safeguarded Strategic Employment Site.
In the
context of planning considerations, the main concerns of the Local Member and
nearby residents was the possible impact of the proposal in terms of noise
disturbance and light pollution. It was
highlighted that the site abutted the rear of three residential houses - 1 to 3
Rhos Isaf. It was acknowledged that the houses were on a higher level and it
was intended to level the application site so that there was a retaining wall
between it and the houses with an acoustic fence on top. It was highlighted
that the noise assessment and the lighting plan had been submitted as part of
the application and the results of the assessments indicated that it was not
expected for the impacts of operational noise from the fuel filling station to
have any substantial detrimental impact, subject to the context.
It was noted
that the Public Protection Unit had accepted what the noise consultant had
noted and the need to assess each site individually together with noise
levels. It was added that the site was
identified as an industrial estate and the additional information had stated
that the noise levels from the site would not have a negative impact on the
residents' dwellings. Although the score
level of 4db exceeds the existing background noise level in the worst possible
scenario, the levels would continue to conform with the levels outlined by the
World Health Organisation should all the noise mitigation measures be
implemented.
As a result of the comments of the Public Protection
Service, it was recommended that a condition should be included referring to conforming
with the contents of the noise assessment and the light assessment. Having assessed the proposal in full, it was
considered that it was acceptable and complied with the requirements of the
relevant policies and guidelines.
