I am concerned that development in this area would cause traffic congestion on the A484, and add to the major problems with drainage in Pembrey village. I also object to the canditature of this site because it would remove valuable green belt between Pembrey and Burry Port, and cause detriment to the ecology the area, which provides habitats for foxes, badgers, and birds such as tawny owls, as well as pipestrelle bats

This land has a monument which consists of a ventilation furnace used to creating airflow throughout colliery workings and which dates from the early 19th century. It was used in association with the nearby Stanley's Pit and was out of use by 1878. The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of the early nineteenth century coal mining industry. The structures may be expected to contain archaeological information in regard to chronology, building techniques and functional detail.
The increase in traffic will create lengthy delays also
drainage problems which have been a long standing problem.

Concern regarding increase in volume of traffic using A484, and knock-on effects.
Especially worried about increase in traffic using Mountain Road to avoid congestion problems on A484. Further traffic problems would ensue should the exit from this development become a 'rat run' through Mumbles Head Park into Mountain Road. This junction is already extremely dangerous.
Mountain Road is in no way capable of carrying more traffic. The increase already over the past few years has resulted in this road becoming alarmingly perilous, with the occurrence of accidents and many 'near misses'.

Far too many houses proposed for Pembrey. Great concern over water run off in this area the A484 already has surface water when it rains which is hazardous especially in the winter when it freezes. Residents are very concerned about flooding.
Increased traffic on A484 will be a nightmare should all the proposed planning for houses in the area go ahead. We do not need another Sandy Lane situation.
Wildlife habitate will be threatened and conservation of trees needs protecting.
The green belt and countryside of Pembrey is going to be lost forever.
Doctors and Schools already under pressure.

I object to the change of use as it will significantly increase the amount of traffic using the Mountain Road from Trimsaran to Pembrey. If approval for this proposal along with the SR/016/06 proposal this will provide a rat run for traffic through Mumbles Head Park, which will result in quite a dangerous scenario change to our estate due to speeding traffic using it as a diversionary road.

Furthermore the land proposed for change of use is over an existing drift mine dating from the early 1800's.

Loss of green space dividing Pembrey from Burry Port. Additional land for building not required in village. A484 already floods there with stable agricultural land. Loss of hedgerows. Disturbance to wildlife. Potential for housing on site will put pressure on local services. GP overloaded/school spaces. No shops or employment in area; increased traffic on A484 leading to Sandy Road traffic lights. Possibility of this site being joined to site SR/016/006 and road being built from A484 up to Mumbles Head Park to service potential housing will create rat run for people to and from Mountain Road through Mumbles Head Park.

If the access is from Mountain Road then this is wholly unsuited to additional traffic.
The A484 is already seriously congested with large queues forming every morning/evening.
Pembrey is a tourist area and promoted as such by Carmarthenshire County Council (Country Park, Cefn Sidan beach, Race Track, etc) and heavy traffic/congestion will put visitors off.
Pembrey Mountain is a haven for wildlife and these must be catered for and protected.
Flooding is a real risk for local residents. These fields have significant water run off during wet weather.

I object to the inclusion of this site in the LDP because of the following.
As mentioned in a previous inspector,s report, visually this field forms part of a division between Burry Port and Pembrey. The land is steeply sloped and any development would be clearly seen from the road and further afield. This would affect the character of Pembrey and merge the two settlements together.
We have few facilities in Pembrey and have to go by car to Burry Port or further, there fore development on this site is not sustainable.

I object to the inclusion of this land in the development plan for the following reasons:
This land is the last open space between Pembrey and Burry Port. If this and other candidate sites are developed, Pembrey would become part of the Llanelli-Pwll-Burry Port sprawl.
Development would impinge upon the status of the Pembrey Mountain Special Landscape Area.
Extra residents would put strain on the already stretched health and school facilities.
If access to any development is via Mumbles Head Park then this would cause disturbance for the residents and exacerbate the already hazardous traffic on the narrow Mountain Road.

Mountain Road traffic has already increased of late. Dangerous corners,no pavements and was closed briefly last year due to accidents re ice and snow. Traffic approaching from higher up will exacerbate problem.
Bat nurseries in several properties on Mumbles Head Park. Development will affect the natural habitat of this protected species.
Lack of local facilities, necessitating a drive to Burry Port, hence increasing traffic.
Out of character with aspect of countryside,restoration of Court Farm which in time will further increase traffic.
Increase in noise level when site already endures substantial air activity due to the bombing range proximity.

I have great concern after hearing the LDP as I live in close proximity to the above area. I object due to the risk involving large number of endangered wildlife in this small patch of area. I observe the wildlife on a daily basis on this land which is their natural habitat, namely large numbers of bats, squirrels, many endangered birds, hedgehogs and a wide variety of other small animals. This development would further endanger the above species.

Small developments of this type are ideal for the village. The numbers of houses are small, and served by an existing access road. I can see no negatives here. On the positive side there is even the opportunity to make the houses 'passive' and more attractive with low energy costs.
Pembrey village cannot be required to support large developments that destroy village life and cut the village in half with a dangerous over used main road, it is bad enough already.
Fully support.

I wish to register my objection to Site SR/016/018 being included in any revised LDP on the grounds that Pembrey is a village of considerable historic interest, and further development of this size and type will turn our village into little more than a dormitory town, it will lose its identity and sense of community and the current rural setting will be gone forever. The serious issue of flooding remains an issue and will be bound to worsen as ever more green belt is covered in concrete and tarmacadam.

SR/016/018 - While it is difficult to lodge specific concerns as at this stage as we know little detail of what is proposed for each site, we are worried at the possibility that if these sites are allowed to proceed it is feasible that upwards of 200 additional houses could be constructed

We are of the view that if this did happen the existing infrastructure would be unable to cope and therefore we would ask that these three sites are not included in the revised LDP.

The respondent strongly objects to the site being included on the next LDP. It is stated that sites SR/016/003, 016 and 018 would have access to Mountain Road Pembrey which is currently unsuitable for a large volume of traffic especially at rush hour and school times. It is stated that sites SR/016/006 and SR/016/ 018 would interfere with the ancient monument site of a mining airshaft and it is claimed that industrial heritage should be preserved.

Reference is made to other features of interest in the Pembrey mountain area, which it is claimed would be in danger with the proposed building work.

It is claimed that an increase in population, would have a detrimental impact on the hard and soft infrastructure of the area. It is envisaged that disruption will be caused by building work. It is claimed that there are a lack of services in Pembrey (eg shops and post office), and there is concern that the area is becoming a "ghost town" between 9-5 due to limited employment opportunities.
Reference is made to the capacity of the A484, with specific reference to Sandy Road and there is concern at the impact on the area's tourism offer and environment. It is claimed that the Kidwelly and Burry Port area should be curtailed as south west wales as oppose to becoming a commuter belt for south east Wales.

The A484 is already extremely busy with traffic going to the Country Park, Pembrey Motor Sports and Ffos las. Pembrey would experience even longer tailbacks, similar to those near Sandy Park Roundabout.
Surface water and sewerage is a concern. Danlan Park has recently had major repair works to the sewerage system. More properties in Pembrey would increase the strain on an already overload system. Concern has been expressed about the working capacity of the Lloetrach Pump House.

The respondent opposes on the basis of a range of concerns. It is submitted that the village of Pembrey is unable to support a development such as this and there will be a detrimental impact. It is stated that the land is used for agriculture all year round and there will also be a loss of green fields and open spaces leading to a loss of the area's rural character. There is concern at inadequate drainage, including the overloading of a current system which is already experiencing problems in heavy rain.

Reference is also made to an increased road use and higher volume of traffic. It is claimed that there is already considerable congestion on the A484 from Pwll onwards, with problems pronounced in the summer (particularly when there are events in the County Park and Motor Sports Centre). The respondent claims that shortcuts are used by motorists which are dangerous. It is claimed that expansion would also put added pressure on local services - including schools and GP surgery.
