Amend Policy

Please find my comments below re LDP

1. – I would like to give my support to the 2 sites included in Llanboidy and Llangynnin.
2. Look at policy regarding converting Barn/ Commercial buildings to residential use. At present you have to advertise the property on open market for 1 year before applying for planning and pay Section 106 contributions. Where by if you applied for holiday let the above are waivered.
3. Must look at building council houses in rural villages for young local families to rent. This would boost the local schools and shops and the welsh language.
4. Need to look at policy regarding how housing needs are monitored. At present you have to register for a council house in your area. There are no council houses in rural areas. That means young people are not going to register as they don’t want to live in towns miles away.
5. I would like to see the 10% policy re building in rural villages increased.
6. Regarding local need and affordable homes, the m2 build rate at present is not adequate with modern day needs.

Finally I fully support the Plaid’s response to the consultation to protect our rural communities and welsh language .
