Testun llawn:
This representation comprises an objection to the exclusion of this site from the development limits for Llangynwr. The site itself directly abuts the existing built form of Carmarthen and would assist in addressing the imbalance of growth being directed to west Carmarthen.
Topographically the site is relatively level and does not contain any physical features of note. The site is within walking distance of Carmarthen’s town centre with its high order goods and services. Access to the objection site is proposed direct from Capel Dewi Road, a public transport corridor.
The residential element of the scheme would comprise a high quality phased development and would draw on local Welsh vernacular architectural design elements, making every effort to be sustainable, both through the employment of local contractors, the use of local suppliers, and in the long term, through the provision of residential units within convenient walking distance of a range of services and facilities.
Furthermore, there is no other allocation proposed in this part of Llangynwr/Carmarthen and the site therefore offers a valuable and readily available alternative.
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 1 Principal 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 sustainable and readily deliverable and its inclusion within revised development limits should be fully supported.
