Testun llawn:
We are instructed by Mr & Mrs M. Lloyd to a make a formal representation to the
“soundness” of the Deposit Draft of the Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan.
Our clients made a formal Candidate Site Submission in August 2018, which was referenced
SR/04/019, seeking inclusion of their land for future residential development within the
defined settlement limits of Ammanford within the Replacement Local Development Plan.
The Candidate Site comprised two parts, one being the frontage part of a grazing field off the
northern side of Aberlash Road.
We have noted that this northern part of the Candidate Site is included within the Second
draft settlement limits. Our clients are very satisfied with this inclusion and wish to express
their support and gratitude to the Council.
Figure 1 below provides an indication of the location of the Candidate Site, which is edged in
red.

As a result of the above Council assessment, Figure 2 presents an extract of the Second
Deposit LDP Proposals Map for Ammanford, which clearly now identifies part of our Clients’
land as within the defined development limits.

included within settlement limits as shown by a red arrow
Our clients wholeheartedly welcome the decision of the Authority to concur with the
representation previously made in relation to our Clients land and fully support their
decision to include the land within the development limits.
Existing properties that are brought to market on this road are quickly sold to be lived in, not
investment properties. All present properties are owner-occupied. The site will be brought to
market quickly to an existing and increasing waiting list of self-build families, assisting to meet housing needs in this part of Ammanford and all within the proposed LDP Plan period.
They intend enacting upon this inclusion shortly after the LDP is formally adopted, by means of a formal planning application, and thereafter commence implementation of the development of the site within the early years of the Plan Period.
