As you failed to include our original submission of 7th Feb 2019, this is a fresh submission to consider as advised by the planning office at the drop in session on February 12th 2020.

A History so far.....
On 11th February 2020 I received an email telling us that the assessment for our site could be
found on the Carmarthenshire County Council forward planning web page, via a link included on
the email which also advised of “Drop in Sessions”being held in relation to the LDP Consultation.
My sister spent 3 hours looking on the link but could not find any mention of the assessment
outcome.
She then attended the consultation “Drop in Session” held in Carmarthen Library on February 12
and spoke to Bethan Lovering, the Forward Planning Officer, explaining to her that she had been
unable to find the assessment.
The officer then looked for it herself and was unable to find said document, therefore, although we
had made the submission it had been overlooked by the planning department. The officer advised
that we had been late with our original submission as it should have been in by the summer of
2018. We had by chance seen a notice in the Carmarthen Journal in late January 2019 stating the
closing date for submissions was February 9th 2019.
We submitted the original submission on February 7th 2019 and awaited further news.
This came on February 11th 2020.
At the “Drop in Session” my sister was advised that we should re-submit the site before March 27th
of that year as the closing date had been extended, which we did.
We have since attended the latest ’Drop-in sessions’ in February 2023 and have now decided to
just submit just 2.5 acres of the field for consideration for inclusion in the plan.
Our reasons for asking again that consideration be given to our land for inclusion in the LDP
remain the same as previously stated in earlier submissions on the following grounds:-
1) Having looked up the definition for the term “Hamlet” - a Hamlet is very small with a handful
of houses and usually does not have any shops or services. We feel that any building in our field
would comprise part of the hamlet - there are 7 adjacent properties in close proximity (shown on
the new site map provided) and should be considered as infill. Utilities are close by i.e. Electric and
Water.
2) The site is within easy reach of all the amenities available in Newcastle Emlyn, being only 2 miles
fro the town.
3) The site is within easy commuting to work distances of Carmarthen, Cardigan, Newcastle Emlyn,
Llandysul and Aberaeron and would be a lovely rural community to live in to raise a family.
The local school bus runs past the bottom of the lane.
