Planning application

Delfryn Tyntyla Road Llwynypia Tonypandy Rhondda Cynon Taf CF40 2SP
Proposal
We seek approval for the change of use of our property from Class C3 to Class D1 to provide small-scale alternative education and childcare services. We are qualified teachers with qualifications and experience in mainstream education, alternative provision, and Additional Learning Needs. We have established a Community Interest Company, LBB Pathways, to support vulnerable children and families locally. Rhondda Cynon Taf faces ongoing challenges with non-attendance, disengagement, and unmet ALN needs; this proposal responds directly to that demand. The property will accommodate a small alternative provision for learners aged 14?16, operating Monday to Thursday, term time only, between 10:00am and 3:00pm, with a maximum of 20 learners. The focus will be on personalised learning and re-engagement. A before and after school childcare service for children aged 3?11 will also operate (8:00?9:00am and 3:15?5:30pm), supporting local families and improving access to childcare. The use is intentionally small-scale and time-limited, with a clear intention to relocate to dedicated premises once established. Impacts on residential amenity will be minimal. Activities will be supervised, structured, and limited to daytime hours. Indoor spaces used for the provision and childcare setting our personal living space with separate access. These areas are separated from neighbouring properties, and outdoor use will be controlled across a large tiered garden. No amplified noise will occur, and nearby recreational facilities will be used for higher-activity sessions. Dedicated toilet facilities will be provided. Traffic and parking impacts will be carefully managed. Childcare drop-off and collection will take place via a nearby side street, with children escorted safely on foot. Most learners will arrive via walking or public transport. No additional staff parking is required. Safeguarding is central to the operation. All staff will be DBS checked and professionally registered. T

The process from here
This application is with Rhondda Cynon Taf for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About full applications applications
How this application type works
A full application seeks permission for a complete, detailed proposal in one go: siting, design, access and landscaping are all fixed at this stage. It is the standard route for new buildings, conversions and changes of use. The statutory target is eight weeks for smaller schemes and thirteen weeks for major development, though complex cases often take longer by agreement.
