No change to the Plan.

We are instructed by Ms L and Mr A Edwards to make a formal representation with regards to the above land and the Deposit Draft of the Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan.
Our clients made a formal Candidate Site Submission in August 2018, which was referenced
SR/090/002, seeking the inclusion of their land within the development limits of Llanarthne as part of the Replacement Local Development Plan. The Candidate Site comprised of part of a single enclosure, with its northern boundary fronting onto the adjoining public highway,
from which access to it was gained. Its eastern and western boundaries are then well defined by existing development, whilst it’s remaining southern boundary then leads on to
the remainder of the agricultural enclosure it forms part of. The land therefore clearly represented a logical infill opportunity within the settlement and its extents are illustrated by the red line below.

Following its due consideration, the Council then included the land in question within the
Development Limits for the settlement of Llanarthne in its Deposit LDP, published in January
2020. However, for reasons outlined by the Council in their current submissions, a revised
second edition Deposit LDP was then prepared.
As part of the current consultation process into the 2nd Deposit LDP, the Council have again
published a “Site Assessment Table” (2023), which provides details of the Council’s analysis
of each received Candidate Site submission. We note that our Clients land was considered
as part of this process and as a result the Authority concluded as follows:

“The site cannot accommodate 5 or more dwellings. It will be included within development limits due to its position in relation to the existing built form, and will contribute to small sites.”

As a result of the above, Plan B represents an extract of the Deposit LDP Proposals Map for Llanarthne, clearly now identifying our Clients land as lying within the defined development limits:

We therefore welcome the decision of the Authority to concur with the representation previously made in relation to our Clients land and fully support their decision to include the land within the development limits.

Yours sincerely,
Jason D Evans
