Testun llawn:
We are instructed by Mr E Thomas to make a formal representation with regards to the
above land and the 2nd Deposit Draft of the Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan.
Our Client made a formal Candidate Site Submission in August 2018, seeking the inclusion
of their land (edged red on Plan A) within the development limits of Ammanford as part of the
Replacement Local Development Plan.
Plan A
The Candidate Site comprised of part of our Client’s existing residential curtilage, with its
northern, eastern and western boundaries clearly and strongly defined. The land therefore
clearly represented a logical rounding off of the existing developed form of the settlement at
this location.
Following its due consideration, the Council then included the land in question within the
Development Limits (see Plan B below) for the settlement of Ammanford in its Deposit LDP,
published in January 2020.
Plan B
Notwithstanding the above, for reasons outlined by the Council in their current submissions,
a revised second edition Deposit LDP was then prepared. As part of the preparation process
into the 2nd Deposit LDP, we understand the Council have again assessed all Candidate Site
submissions. As a result of this, Plan C represents an extract of the 2nd Deposit LDP
Proposals Map for Ammanford, clearly again identifying our Client’s land as falling within the
defined development limits:
Plan C
Following careful consideration of the Authority’s response and discussion with our Client,
we therefore welcome the decision of the Authority to concur with the representation
previously made in relation to our Client’s land and so fully support their decision to include
the above land within the development limits.
