INF4: Llanelli Waste Water Treatment Surface Water Disposal
We support the inclusion of this policy and the supporting Burry Inlet SPG. As you know there has been a long-established partnership approach to dealing with concerns on the risk of deterioration of water quality on the Carmarthen Bay and Estuaries European Marine Site.
Paragraph 11.203 states that Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW) have confirmed that there is sufficient capacity within Llanelli Waste Water Treatment Works to deliver the Plan’s identified growth without breaching their permit requirements.
We acknowledge that in addition to the implementation of the requirements of the Memorandum of Understanding on new developments, several improvement schemes have also been undertaken within the catchment since it was introduced.
We are satisfied that if DCWW have confirmed the above in writing, the Policy, with its requirements for surface water removal by the major developments, should ensure that the identified growth will cause no detriment to water quality from the generation of foul flows.
No change to the Plan
Thank you for consulting Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru/National Resources Wales (NRW) on the above, which was received on 17 February 2023.
We welcome the opportunity to provide comments on your Second Deposit Revised
LDP.
We support the intent of the plan’s policies and proposals to enable the delivery of sustainable development and ensure social, economic, environmental and cultural
well-being goals are all suitably balanced in the decision-making process, so the right development occurs in the right place.
We also acknowledge that you have taken on board advice from our previous correspondence which has enabled positive provisions in the second Deposit Plan
both in policy terms and regarding allocation of sites. However, there are issues with the latest draft which we feel challenge the Soundness of the Plan. These key
issues are highlighted below:
• SAC rivers / Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA)
• Flood risk regarding the following sites allocated for housing under Strategic Policy 4: A Sustainable Approach to Providing New Homes
PrC3/h33 Llys Dolgader
PrC3/h19 Land off Llys y Nant
SeC19/h1 Land at Park View, Whitland
Sec19/h2 Land at Whitland Creamery
• Flood risk regarding allocation - PrC2/GT1 – Land at Penyfan, Trostre, Llanelli, under Strategic Policy SP 10: Gypsy and Traveller provision.
• Biodiversity and ecosystem resilience regarding six allocations (two housing and four employment).
In addition, to matters of soundness we also advise that some refining/clarity be made to the plan in respect of several policies and supporting text to ensure the
robustness of the plan.
Our detailed comments on the plan and supporting documents can be found in the annexes to this letter.
Please note that our comments are without prejudice to any comments we may wish to make when consulted on any subsequent formal planning application submissions
to develop any of the land identified within the plan. At the time of any other consultation there may be new information available which we will need to consider
in providing our formal advice.
Finally, we look forward to continuing to work closely with you to progress the plan and trust these comments are of assistance. If you have any queries, or if you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at the above address.
