Agenda item

Request for Site Visit to Former Margam Surface Mine, Ford Y Gyfraith, Cefn Cribwr, CF32 OBS.

Members received a report by Officers giving a background to the application and its progress to date.

Given the agreed timetable which sought to ensure that all parties progress towards restoration of the mine and the history and controversy associated with the site, Officers considered it to be essential that Members should be afforded the opportunity to visit the site in advance of the Planning Committee scheduled on 3 May 2016 in order to fully appreciate the nature of the proposal to be put before them on 3 May 2016 when this Application would be reported.
