Amend Plan to include limits and the site

This representation objects to the removal of development limits for Gelli Aur. The village is of significant size and is within walking distance of a key agricultural college, as well as an important historic building and parkland (Gelli Aur), the full potential of which has yet to be realised. The village has also enjoyed convenient access to a country park and café facility managed by Carmarthenshire County Council.
The village is also readily accessible to nearby Llandeilo, with its high order goods and services, including primary and secondary education, healthcare services, retail outlets, and the historic Dinefwr Park. The suggested site is considered an ideal ‘rounding off’ of the village and would provide a much needed residential opportunity for the locality.
Appropriate development within Gelli Aur 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 4 Rural Village. Its development would be in keeping and in character with the settlement and will ensure a readily 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 representation 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 sustainable and readily deliverable and offers a valuable development option within the village.
The inclusion of this land within reinstated development limits would be fully supported.
