Observations:
• While infill sites should take priority over other locations, this should not exclude other locations.
• These rigid limitations appear logical in theory, but they are not practical in many rural settlements.
• The limitations do not take into account variances in our local topography.
CONSIDERATIONS:
1. To consider further potential development capacity in and around rural villages.
2. To apply rounding-off of boundaries to include capacity which logically allows sensitive development.
3. To evidence actual harm against the potential for community benefit in setting and respecting development boundaries.
Amend the Plan
Whilst I fully agree with the proposals submitted by my colleague and fellow Councillor Carys Jones, I wish to submit that the allocation proposed for Drefach Felindre is limited and inadequate for the next ten years. In particular, the allocation of only three houses on the Waugilwen road should be doubled to six, which would accommodate future expansion of the village.
Submissions by Carys Jones - dealt with in another representation
Disagree. The scale of settlements set out within Tier 4 vary considerable within the County.
Policy HOM3 recognises the potential for new development, and seeks to limit the number of new housing within settlements by adopting a cap on the number of dwellings which can be delivered during the plan period. This is considered necessary so that smaller settlements within the county would only favour small scale development, whilst other larger settlements
within Tier 4 may be able to provide developments of up to 4 dwellings, albeit up to the cap set out within the evidence base.
The cap and the guidance set out within the Policy allows flexibility and the opportunity for rural villages to develop at a pace which would be conducive to its character, environment and function, whilst providing a clear limit in terms of what could be considered as acceptable growth
The policy also provides guidance on acceptable plots which would support the development of cohesive and sustainable communities.
