No change to the Plan.

We are instructed by Mr. N. Morgans to make a formal representation with regards to the
above land and the Second Deposit Draft of the Carmarthenshire Replacement Local
Development Plan.

Our clients made a formal Candidate Site Submission in August 2018, which was referenced
SR/163/010, seeking the allocation of their land for residential development within the
settlement limits of Whitland as part of the Replacement Local Development Plan.

The Candidate Site comprised two irregular-shaped field enclosures, together with a cluster
of farm outbuildings, set off the eastern flank of Trevaughan Road, to the southern edge of
Trevaughan, Whitland. Residential properties form the northern perimeter of the site, being
bungalows, which have rear garden perimeters sharing a common boundary with the site.
The opposite side of the B4328 is dominated by the “Riverlea” agricultural vehicles and
machinery wholesaler’s depot, which extends south to an equivalent point as the Candidate
Site’s southern field boundary.

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 northern field and outbuildings at Park
View as a Residential Allocation 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: “Part of the site it be allocated with reference SeC19/h1. This is to allow small scale development within the town.”

As a result of the above, Plan B represents an extract of the Deposit LDP Proposals Map for Whitland, clearly now identifying part of our client’s land as a Residential Allocation (shaded brown) within the defined settlement limits:

Our clients therefore welcome and SUPPORT the decision of the Authority to partly concur with the representations previously made in relation to a proportion of our clients’ land at Park View.

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 allocate the land for the purposes of Residential Development as part of the Carmarthenshire Replacement Local Development Plan.
