CONSIDERATIONS:
1. To question if the visitor economy is prioritised over local needs, and consider both community benefits on equal terms.
2. In light of the recent policy on Second Homes/Holiday Homes Council Tax Premium, to consider permitting residential use of existing holiday accommodation in the open countryside which may no longer remain viable.
3. To recognise that small, well-designed accommodation sites in the open countryside provide diversification opportunities to farming communities and contribute to the local economy.
4. To encourage well-sited Static Caravan, Chalet and Glamping Pod Sites in areas heavily affected by second home use as an attractive option to potential second home purchasers.
5. To provide a balance of residential and tourism accommodation in rural areas to encourage mutual support between communities and visitor economy.
6. To replace TAN13 with guidance which is appropriate and relevant to the life of the Plan.
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
The tourism policies of the Plan ensure that such proposals are located in sustainable and appropriate places. The Plan’s policies have been prepared with regard to the provisions of PPW and other plans and strategies.
Further evidence is being prepared in relation to the number and spatial spread of second homes and short term holiday lets across Carmarthenshire. This will include an options appraisal of potential policy interventions including, but not limited to the use of Article 4 directions. It should be noted that a number of these sit outside the scope and remit of a Local Development Plan.
Replacing TAN13 is outside the remit of the Local Planning Authority.
