Testun llawn:
Sirs/Madam
I wish to strongly object to the proposed planning development below Plas Isaf Llangennech, shown as SeC7/h3.
Whilst everyone would welcome the introduction of new homes, particularly 'affordable' homes being built in Carmarthenshire, to essentially "wedge" them in on a plot of land in an already bursting village is short of incompetent. The infrastructure in the area is completely inadequate to deal with the influx of road traffic alone. Heol Plas Isaf, the access road to the site has already been dug up and replaced TWICE due to subsidence and even now, should you care to take a site visit, has the road dipping for a third time. The exit form Heol Plas Isaf onto Hendre Road, via a 'T' junction is on a bend in the main road where vehicles are accelerating driving up hill. An alternative exit from the proposed site via Heol Y Parc would offer dangers just as precarious onto Hendre Road just opposite The Bridge Inn.
Wildlife in this precious area, includes Oak, Hazel, Ash, Horse Chestnut, Yew, Sycamore, and Pine trees. The wildlife that inhabit these trees includes Squirrels, multiple nesting bird species, Woodpeckers as well as birds of prey such as red kites, buzzards and anyone living near this site will be well aware of the Owls calling each other most nights.
The area is home to roosting bats that are seen most summer evenings whilst walking along the public footpath towards the estuary, and im sure the Bat Conservation trust would welcome the opportunity to confirm their presence.
Ground life include Foxes, Hedgehogs, Rabbits, field mice and numerous other invertebrates along with insect life including bees that feed on the wild flowers and grasses that have been left, untouched, for many decades to naturally thrive.
The devastating recent 'deforrestation' of the area opposite this site, that went unchallenged by the council and unknown by the Enviroment Agency and Resources Wales, when i called to challenge this action, was allowed to proceed and has driven even more wildlife into the proposed site. I implore you to visit this area behind Aber Llwchwr to see the devastation that was allowed to happen, the effect it would have on the wildlife, and where that wildlife will be displaced to would be crystal clear!
I would also suggest that 50 houses, sitting only a few feet above the height of a high spring tide, would lead to its own issues regarding sewage and land drain water.
i'm told that Llangennech school, both junior and senior are at maximum capacity with nothing available in pre school facilities either.
I would suggest, if Carmarthenshire council really want to build more affordable housing, that they look at far more suitable sites than SeC7/h3 and common sense would prevail and stop yet ANOTHER 'Blitzkreig' of wildlife habitat be averted in Llangennech.
