We believe the proposed plan is incorrect and incomplete. In the 2006 - 2021 LDP a portion of the land, situated alongside Parc Mansant, Pontyates (T3/5/H2) was allocated for residential development. This is missing from the proposed plans and should be reinstated. In addition, we would like the remaining area of the field, highlighted in yellow and numbered 4618 & 5600, to be considered for residential development. When Parc Mansant was built in the early 1990’s planning permission took into consideration future development - therefore access, drainage and utilities were laid along the road at the entrance to the field in preparation for this.
The Site Assessment Methodology (Sept 2019) section 2a sets out the criteria that has to be met before moving to stage 2b. After reviewing the questions set out in this document, we believe that the proposed land does pass this stage such as:
• Accommodate more than 5 dwellings
• Accessible from 2 public highways
• Physically, functionally and visually linked to the settlement
• Close to Public Transport (Lime Grove Bus Stop)
• Water and sewerage connections are already in place
• Easy access with a road already in place
In addition the attached Sustainability Appraisal supports this application for residential development classification.
