Increase in residential development will put a strain on civic amenities.
Specifically, it will affect our already very low water pressure.
Increase in traffic will cause jams and delays.

I live at 28 FForest Road have done for some 25years. In that time I have witnessed a large increase in traffic flow down to the Black Horse, as well as the traffic from Hendy and Pontardulais
At 7 30am up until 9am the traffic with its inherenttraffic pollution has prompted me to vary my walking time ,similarly in the evening..I have also concidered wearing a face mask akin to Peking residents.Where are the plans for upgrading the roads, Surgeries, Schools Sewers,Land drainage,access etc.With all the other application at present, I fear for our well being.

I am objecting to the Land Development Plan SR/069/011 for a number of crucial reasons.
There appears to be no resources allocated to ensure that the extra pressure on roads, school capacity, surgery places or building on land that already has been designated as prone to flooding has not been addressed.
The two roads which will have to cope with the massive increase in traffic are totally inadequate, one a single track (3.01m wide) up Bronallt Road and the A48 is also effectively single lane, due to cars parking on both sides of the road.
No consideration for residents.

based on the following strategic policies
Strategic Policy - SP 6: Employment and the Economy
Strategic Policy - SP 8: Infrastructure
Development will need to be directed to locations where the infrastructure, services and facilities considered necessary to deliver and support the development proposal are available. current Infrastructure at these sites is not available or sustainable
- SP 12: Rural development
As per SP 13 this development would not enhance this SLA , and would certainly have an adverse effect on the biodiversity of the river . This objection would also apply to SP14 especially regarding landscape and conservation areas

Astounded that the county are planning more houses in this area when infrastructure such as road networks (Such as traffic through Bont or to link to M4 at J48) already at over full capacity, Doctors surgery full. Llangennech surgery reducing in size. What about Schools, playing fields etc. Totally opposed and shocked that the infrastructure doesn't get built first. Proposals will reduce quality of life for all current residents in this area. People live in West Wales for quality of life. This is going to Suburbanise the area as part of Swansea.

Further development in the Pontardulais/Hendy/Fforest area will have a significant effect on the infrastructure, services (surgey, school, etc.) and road access to J48 of the M4. Hendy primary school has not increased in size since I attended nearly 50 years ago. It is already diffiult to get appointments at Pontardulais surgery and traffic is already conjested at J48 of the M4 with poor layout at this junction causing tailbacks joining the M4 from either Hendy or Llanelli. Tailbacks already stretch back onto the motorway on exiting the M4 from the east during evening rush hour..

The site is at the top of a very steep hill, so car traffic increases.
Accident records show that there have been several accidents at the entrance of PyF.Cars slowing to turn right onto PyF have been overtaken by cars passing from behind and not realising the car in front is turning onto PyF. Further development will intensify the use of this access and thus increasing the risk of a dangerous accident. Two acces points iso close would be unsafe. It will affect surface water runoff & cause drainage issue

This LDP will affect both the animal and human ecological system by destroying the natural habitat of the birds, bats, bees etc and by increasing the pressure on the health service (surgeries, dentist etc), schools, play-areas, increasing the traffic on an already over capacity road and M4 junction (48). The potential risk of accidents/deaths will increase.
There will be a massive effect on the community of the area and a potentially negative affect on the Welsh language. The natural drainage of water to the river will undoubtedly be affected and the sewerage system which is to capacity will need upgrading.

I have two main areas of comment:
Infrastructure and Traffic.
Any future development in this area MUST be accompanied by a proportional increase in school places and doctors surgery places. sewerage and water supply.
Bronallt Road is already being used as a short cut between the motorway at J48 and Fforest, Llanedi and Tycroes. This road already carries far too much traffic, often speeding - it was not intended to be used as a major thoroughfare or trunk road. The junction of Bronallt, Carmarthen and Fforest Roads is already dangerous - increased traffic can only make it worse.
Plan responsibly!

Access to the site is narrow and would not sustain an increase in traffic. Accident records will indicate that there have been several accidents at the entrance of Plas-y-Fforest. Further development will intensify the use of this access and increase risk of accidents.
Proposed site is greenfield site and building here would have huge implications on the impact of biodiversity of the flora and fauna in the area.
Surface water run off would increase risk of flooding to neighbouring properties.
Development will adversely affect privacy to neighbouring properties.
Increased population have huge impact on GP and schools.

Following public consultation , a meeting of Llanedi Community Council Council on the 6th February 2018 agreed that we wish to object to all future large scale (5 plus houses) proposals for residential development in Hendy and Forest. Significant development has already taken place in recent years in the area. We are also concerned about the impact of future developments in Pontarddulais on our community.
Our specific objection to this candidate site is due to concerns over:
* increased traffic
* access
* drainage/flooding
* pressure on services (e.g. doctors/schools) and utilities
* privacy

Object to the inclusion of the site. Authorities should consider previously developed land and underutilised sites within exiting settlements in the first instance.

The four sites proposed at Plas-y-Fforest are not previously developed land (brownfield). The farmyard cannot even be considered as brownfield as PPWs definition clearly excludes 'land and buildings currently in use for agricultural or forestry purposes'. The four sites proposed at Plas-y-Fforest are also not within the existing settlement boundary.

Further objections include the site being in an unsustainable location, no employment sites or facilities and shops within reasonable walking distance.

Highway safety and access. Accident records will indicate that there have been several accidents at the entrance of Plas-y-Fforest. Further development will intensify the use of this access and thus increasing the risk of a dangerous accident.

In addition, the proposed sites are not suitable as they are safeguarded for potential mineral extraction in accordance with Policy MPP3 of the current Carmarthenshire LDP. SR/069/011 is on land safeguarded for category 1 high specification aggregate sandstone and igneous rock.


Sewers and pumping station It is understood these are at capacity. The cost to the developer to increase the capacity of the sewer and pumping system could potentially make the development unviable and undeliverable. It would certainly reduce the contributions the development could make to education and affordable housing.

Gradient - The land is steep. The gradient would increase the build costs of the development and affect viability and deliverability.

Adverse impact on the amenity of existing dwelling and impact on existing local facilities.
