If the field behind my house is turned into a housing estate I am concerned at the impact this will have on my privacy in my house and garden. When I purchased this house I was informed that was agricultural land which will not be built upon. Llangunnor currently has the benefit of plenty of green spaces. Converting more of these into houses spoils the area and has an impact on wildlife. I am also concerned at the increase in traffic that will result from the additional houses.

As a resident, Llangunnor is a village on the outskirts of Carmarthen, in open countryside and separated from the village of Cwmffrwd. That distinct separation gives Llangunnor its individual identity for the residents to enjoy. This proposal will challenge that identity expanding towards Cwmffrwd.
This site is a large site and could see in excess of 500 homes, significantly impacting our village and the surrounding area. For example:
* The historic Roman Road: currently enjoyed by many of our villagers as a peaceful countryside walk, it would become engulfed by houses and its character lost.
* Encroachment towards Cwmffrwd: there is clearly an established development boundaries.
Concerns are also raised about access and traffic: particularly if access was off Roman Road; increase in congestion on the existing roads; Llangunnor Park - potentially increasing the amount of traffic would make the surrounding area a much more dangerous place for children; the road infrastructure in Pensarn often struggles with the current volume of traffic at peak times;
flooding - building on an area this size would only add to this issue; Traffic and parking surrounding Llangunnor school is a major issue.

Significant drainage issues at this site. Site can only come forward with hydraulic assessment and comprehensive drainage solution.
The respondent has compiled some general comments from Welsh Government Network Management Division as highway authority for the trunk road and motorways in Wales and also makes a number of site specific comments. The respondent states that the strategic trunk road network is for the safe and expeditious movement of long distance traffic. In order to maintain free-flow and safety, there is a general presumption against new access onto trunk roads. Further detailed advice is given on how developments should seek to access trunk roads, with reference made to guidance and legislation (including the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) and the Active Travel Act).
In order for the trunk road highway authority to be in a position to make a considered view, the onus is on the forward planning authority to provide highway evidence in both capacity and safety terms. This will scope the consideration of existing network capacity constraints, agreed infrastructure upgrades and outline delivery streams (such as planning obligations).
Advice is provided on the potential accompanying evidence required with an application (eg Transport Statement (TS) or Transport Assessment (TA)) - commensurate with the scale of the proposal. Applications are judged on their individual merits and specific supporting traffic impact detail may be requested in order to consider network impacts. Where designs are not DMRB compliant there is a right to issue a direction to refuse an application.
Where developments require improvements to existing or new connections to the trunk road and these are agreed at planning, the developer will be required to enter into an appropriate legal agreement for their delivery, generally via Section 184 and Section 278 of the Highways Act.

1. Access would be problematic, with no clear and unrestricted sightlines.
2. The field is very wet and would be subject to drainage problems.
3.The road from which access would be obtained is already extremely busy. It is used by many as a rat-run.
4. Building on this field would result in the joining of Carmarthen to Cwmffrwd.

Please find below my observations in relation to the proposed developments for the community of Llangynnwr as outlined in the draft Local Plan.
Roman Road sites SR/021/05 -SR/021/38 - SR/021/34
All planning should take into concern the Future Generation Act and I'm concerned about the extra storm water the site will generate. The flooding in December shows the potential hazards this area faces. I'm also concerned about the extra traffic and pollution the developments will create. The shape of the site will in my opinion put pressure on the nature of Roman Road.
Brynglas /Capel Dewi Road SR/021/005 - SR/021/12
This looks like ribbon development that will blur the urban/ rural boundary and invite further urban sprawl in the future.
