Include the whole of the Northern Residential Quarter as an allocation, with the main access from Rhosmaen Street.

Re: Proposed Pobl housing development at Parc Pencrug, Llaneilo.

I understand that I need to respond to the LDP consultation before 14th April 2023. However, I seem to be unable to access the online form.

I therefore attach my objections to the proposed housing development in letter before 14th April.

I hope you will consider my objections as well as those of my neighbours in Parc Pencrug, Llys Pencrug, and Lon Rhys in Llandeilo, all of whom will be affected.

I look forward to the outcome of your considerations.
Yours sincerely,
Sian Rees Williams

1. The new local development plan (LDP) includes only the Carmarthenshire County Council land.
2. Pobl's proposals assume the inclusion of privately owned land.
3. There is therefore a risk of incrementally piecemeal development if the whole of the Northern Residential Quarter is not included and the essential access from Rhosmaen Street will be rendered impossible.
4. Residents in Parc Pencrug, Llys Pencrug, and Lon Rhys will be significantly affected by true proposed development.
5. Not only by construction traffic for years while the houses are being built and the subsequent noise involved.
6. 84 new homes as well 5 very big houses is not appropriate for the size.
7. Parc Pencrug estate already has issues with lack of parking spaces.
8. Parc Pencrug is a uniquely designed estate and the Pobl development would not be in keeping with houses in Llandeilo as a whole.
9. The size is not appropriate as there is already issues with traffic with the main road through the estate already being in inadequate to cope with traffic. With nearly 90 new houses proposed the traffic situation would be worse and the road is inadequate and would not cope.
10.Added to this extra cars from the new houses but from home delivery drivers etc. and works traffic.
11. The major issue is that it is the wrong access road as the road through Parc Pencrug is inadequate for home owners already.
12. Also there are issues in the winter with ice and/or snow where vehicles can not get up the main road from Parc Pencrug.
13. This issue would affect homeowners from the new Pobl development also.
14. In the past, it has been discussed that a new access could come from Rhosmaen Street by the roundabout rather than through Parc Pencrug. Can this be investigated further?
15.The development would adversely affect the towns of Llandeilo especially with local amenities i.e. shops and schools, doctors, etc. All of which are already at capacity.
16. The new development proposed by Pobl with affordable housing would affect house prices in Parc Pencrug and Lon Rhys. This would affect homeowners.
17. Pobl needs to justify its mix of housing proposed as Llandeilo does need affordable housing for "locals", but not at the expense of home owners in Parc Pencrug, Llys Pencrug, and Lon Rhys.
18. The road via Parc Pencrug is just not suitable as an access.
19. The developers i.e. Pobl are not responding or listening to the concerns of the residents.
20. What is the demand i.e. waiting list for affordable housing in Llandeilo? We the residents do not believe the numbers would be over 80 people more like 20-30.
21. There is an issue of phosphates on the land proposed which is a source of potential pollution to the local people.
22. The Pobl design is not good in our opinion while Parc Pencrug is a good design and fits in with housing in Llandeilo and is landscaped sympathetically.
23. Can Llandeilo cope with nearly 90 new homes? Public services would be affected doctors, dentists, optician and shops + schools.
24. Issues of parents and children on the school run all via the one road is just not adequate.
25. The proposed development is just not adequate.
26. The design of the proposed development does not suit Landeilo.
27. No justification has been given for the number of houses proposed.
28. How does the number proposed relate to the true numbers on the waiting list for affordable homes in Llandeilo.
29. In fact, who is eligible for the affordable housing in Llandeilo.
30. How will the affordable housing be sustained and maintained in the future.
31. Will this affordable housing be made eligible only within the Llandeilo area?
32. We as residents think that any suitable development needs to reinstate the primary access from Rhosmaen Street.
33.What assessments have been carried out to test if the Llandeilo public service infrastructure can support many kore residents.
34. The design of the proposed development takes no consideration of the local context and is unsuitable for Llandeilo.
35. Residents will be asking for a review by the Design Commission for Wales.
36. How and can the phosphate issue be resolved on site.
37. The development would adversely affect wild life and nature in the area as well as the health + welfare of the existing residents.
