Testun llawn:
With reference to the above I wish to raise in the following objections to this land being adopted as a LDP.
Advertising boards have already been erected and the services of an Estate Agent engaged, these boards state various size houses, bungalows and fully serviced plots are, ‘coming soon’.
Grossly misleading advertising. No planning permission has even been applied for to date.
There were always serious concerns regarding any possible development of this land resulting in Carmarthenshire County Council refusing planning permission E/21000 in 2009. Although after a second appeal permission was upheld in 2011 (obviously now expired) the Welsh Assembly attached lengthy conditions to be strictly adhered to for the future.
APP/M6825/A/11/2143981.
I wish to draw your attention to several such items listed below.
The document demanded a Full Intrusive Mining Legacy Survey.
This land is of major concern geologically due to historical mining activities with shallow mine working under.
In 1999 it was necessary to demolish a bungalow due to uneconomical repair of its subsidence. The Consulting Engineers acting on behalf of the Coal Authority concluded the subsidence was caused by shallow workings beneath the property, …upward migration of weakened strata overlying collapsed old mine workings most likely caused by water from surface runoff following a pathway along the rock head.
Another condition states hedgerows were to be maintained, already some have been ripped out.
This land has lain undisturbed for many many years and because of its uniquely wet state is supporting its own Ecco system. A full and in-depth survey must therefore be carried out before any disturbance takes place.
I have grave concerns regarding the access road on and off the site which will bring increased traffic to an already busy road. This section of the road has a history of minor traffic accidents.
I will also add my concerns regarding the use of the farm track adjacent to 277 Cwmamman Road and Ty’n y Wern Vestry the track leads to Ty’n y Wern Farm and runs in front of my bungalow.
It is also possible to access the field in question via this track and has already been used on a least two occasions to my knowledge to transport plant machinery into the field in order to clear a hedgerow.
The track is very poorly maintained and will not withstand heavy use. The winter months are particularly challenging regarding the surface water carried by the track causing mud, pot holes and erosion. I am elderly and drive a small car I also need to walk this track for access to the main road. I fear any amount of use by such vehicles will render my use hazardous to say the least.
