Observations:
• While diversification in rural areas is encouraged, the capacity for young families to live and work on rural sites outside development limits is severely restricted, bordering on the impossible. This is detrimental to the sustainability of village communities.
• Many farm diversification plans are thwarted at the outset due to their rural siting, thus falling under the myriad restrictions on development in the open countryside.
• The perceived negative aspects of potential development outweigh the likely positive impacts on community sustainability.
CONSIDERATIONS:
1. To provide for local families who wish to remain in or return to their community to live and work in their rural area.
2. To examine the potential community benefit as a material consideration.
3. To provide more flexibility in the sources of income which contribute to a rural enterprise to allow spouses, partners and their progeny to remain in or return to their family homesteads.
Amend 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
Policy RD3 has been prepared in accordance with national policy and the criteria contained therein aims to build on this. The proposed amendments might not accord with the provisions of TAN6 however this can be given further consideration at examination to ensure a flexible and responsive policy is incorporated.
