Include Plan within the development limits for Pontyberem, under policy SD1.

This representation objects to the exclusion of this site from the development limits for Pontyberem. Its inclusion 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 delivery is assured.
A full description of the site's development potential and merits has previously been provided in the candidate site submission, to which reference should be made.
It is considered that this site is both sustainable and deliverable and offers a valuable development option within this Tier 2 Service Centre which otherwise has only one proposed allocation (SeC11/h1). The representation site is also within more convenient proximity to the settlement centre.
The inclusion of this land within revised development limits would be fully supported.
