The respondent supports the inclusion of their client's land (part of candidate site SR/106/007) within the development limits of Llansteffan, under Policy SD1. They also confirm that the land continues to not face any ecological, flood risk related, highway, infrastructure or land ownership constraints that would restrict its ability to be delivered during the Plan period.
No change to Plan.
We are instructed by Mrs H. Chambers to make a formal representation with regards to the
above land and the Second Deposit Draft of the Carmarthenshire Replacement Local
Development Plan.
Our client made a formal Candidate Site Submission in August 2018, which was referenced
SR/106/007, seeking the allocation of their land for residential development within the
settlement limits of Llansteffan as part of the Replacement Local Development Plan.
The Candidate Site comprises of an undeveloped paddock set off the western flank of
School Road, as that minor road runs north from the centre of the village of Llansteffan. The
proposals seek inclusion of part of the enclosure to provide a small-scale development of
frontage houses to complement established properties off its southern side. It also lies
directly opposite further frontage houses off the eastern flank of the road.
The land therefore clearly represented a logical extension opportunity to the existing
settlement and its extents are illustrated by the red line below at Plan A.
Following due consideration, the Council included the roadside frontage part of the land in
question within the draft settlement limits of Llansteffan in its First Deposit Draft of the Local
Development Plan, published in January 2020. However, for reasons outlined by the Council
in their current submissions, a revised Second Deposit Local Development Plan has now
been prepared and published in January 2023. It is subject to public consultation.
As part of the current consultation process into the Second Deposit Local Development Plan,
the Council have again published a “Site Assessment Table” (January 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 whole site is not allocated. The development limits will be
amended to allow the potential for small scale development.”
Plan A- Location Plan of Candidate Site
Plan B represents an extract of the Second Deposit LDP Proposals Map for Llansteffan,
clearly now identifying our client’s field frontage as land within the defined settlement limits:
Plan B – Extract from part of the Proposals Map for Llansteffan
Our client therefore welcome and SUPPORT the decision of the Authority to partly concur
with the representations previously made in relation to our clients’ land.
We can also confirm that the land continues to not face any ecological, flood risk related,
highway, infrastructure or land ownership constraints that would restrict its ability to be
delivered during the Plan period.
We therefore fully support the decision of the Authority to include the land for the purposes
of Residential Development as part of the Carmarthenshire Replacement Local
Development Plan.
Support welcomed.
