Testun llawn:
We are instructed by Mr W. O. Ponsonby-Lewes 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/093/001, seeking the allocation of his land for residential development within the
settlement limits of Llangeler as part of the Replacement Local Development Plan.
The Candidate Site comprises part of a rectangular-shaped grazing paddock set off the
southern flank of the A484 road that runs through of the village of Llangeler. The proposals
seek inclusion of the well-defined enclosure to provide a modest development of detached
and semi-detached houses to complement established properties which lie directly opposite
off the northern flank of the road at Brogeler. It therefore represented a logical opportunity for
rounding-off within the settlement and providing a much-need residential opportunity which
can generate approximately 8 local homes.
The land’s extents are illustrated by the red line below at Plan A.
Following due consideration, the Council included the land in question 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: “Site to be allocated for residential use with reference SuV33/h1.”

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

Our clients therefore welcome and SUPPORT the decision of the Authority to 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 allocate the land for the purposes of Residential Development as part of the Carmarthenshire Replacement Local Development Plan.
