Amend Plan to include the site

This representation objects to the exclusion of this site from the development
limits for Pembrey. It should be emphasised that the accompanying illustrative
scheme could readily be developed in phases and includes areas of landscaping
and communal greenspace in order to enhance local biodiversity and to offer
open areas to residents to support physical and mental well-being. Offering
these positive community benefits is a key part of the scheme’s overall ethos.
The site layout encompasses a high proportion of affordable dwellings (both
social and low cost home ownership).
The overall aim is to produce a residential scheme which would comprise a
quality development and would draw on local vernacular architectural design
elements, making every effort to be sustainable, both through the
employment of local contractors and the use of local suppliers.
In addition to zero-carbon design elements to secure ‘Passivhaus’ status, the
energy requirements of the dwellings will be met by several district heating
systems (bore-hole ground source heat pumps) as well as solar collector arrays.
Electric vehicle charging facilities, battery storage compounds, etc., will be
distributed throughout the site.
The inclusion of the proposer’s land would not lead to additional environmental
pressure, but instead will foster sustainable growth and allow for a wider
choice of housing type within this Tier 2 Service Centre. Its development
would be in keeping and in character with the settlement and will ensure a
deliverable source of future housing for this sustainable community.
In addition, residential development at this location:-would not be detrimental to the amenity of adjacent properties;
· would satisfy recognised housing and sustainability objectives;
· would not have a detrimental impact on the landscape or nature
conservation interests.
Furthermore, the site is not impeded by any access, ground condition, flood
risk, hydrological, ecological, archaeological or land ownership related
constraints and its short term delivery is assured.
It is considered that this site is both more sustainable and deliverable than
other sites that have been allocated within Pembrey.
The inclusion of this land within revised development limits would be fully
supported.
