Council planning record

Natural Resources Wales' (NRW) are proposing to locate one mobile food/drink van in the car park at Dinas Rock. The site is currently used for car parking and therefore this is a change of use application to allow the organisation to mobilise a food/drink van on the site. No new hardstandings or permanent structures will be created. The van/trailer will not be located on the grass or any other vegetation, in order to minimise disturbance to the surrounding green infrastructure. The van/trailer will not be permitted to park overnight, we anticipate seasonal opening hours of 9am to 5pm. NRW will be offering the opportunity to the open market, and would hope to award to a local business wherever possible. There will not be an electricity supply and no diesel or external generators will be permitted. We are trying to encourage eco solutions.
