11.356 We welcome the inclusion of this paragraph which address our previous points regarding agricultural developments. We would advise that reference to ‘intensive’ agriculture and livestock units is removed to prevent confusion as the comments are applicable to all agricultural developments.
The content of the Chief Planning Officers letter of 12 June 2018 on intensive agriculture states “LPAs are advised to put in place appropriate policies in Local Development Plans in order to facilitate the sustainable consideration of this type of development.” It should be made clear what the sensitive receptors are within the county and what will require buffering from such developments. Given that Carmarthenshire is a strong agricultural setting we question whether a specific policy is required.
We note you have included a policy on equestrian facilities (RD5) which from an environmental perspective tend to pose less risk when considering the discharges/emissions and wastes arising, cumulative impacts and water quality.
Comments noted. Matters to be further considered at Examination.
