You need to demosntrate that an increase in housingg has taken into consideration the capability of the schools, GP's, road safety and amenities are capable of dealing with an increase in people and cars. Our public transport system is sub-standard compared to cities such as Swansea and Cardiff.

The Revised LDP has been subject to detailed assessments including the consideration of population and household projections. The Health Board and other statutory consultees, in addition to those within the local authority have been consulted as part of the preparatory process of the Plan. Furthermore significant evidence has been gathered as presented as part of our submission documents, and considered as part of the examination process.

The plan whilst responding to, and recognising infrastructure pressures also sets a long term vision and series of proposals which guide the location of future investments and growth.

Whilst BR wholly support the principle of proposed allocation at Heol y Mynydd, Bryn, it is noted that the Council has identified only the eastern portion of the site for 80 dwellings. Given the context we strongly believe there is sufficient evidence to justify allocating the site in its entirety for up to 160 dwellings.

Site Allocation PrC2/(v)
BR appreciate the inclusion of Land at Heol y Mynydd, Bryn as a housing allocation within the Revised Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan for 80 units. However, it is still considered that the site is able to accommodate further development in order to maximise the opportunities to deliver homes in a highly sustainable location which in turn forms part of the Swansea Bay & Llanelli National Growth Area in line with Future Wales.

By virtue of the above Barratt Redrow suggest that the draft LDP policy for Heol y Mynydd, Bryn (PrC2/(v)) should be increased to 160 homes for the following reasons:
1. It would make efficient use of the site in accordance with national policy;

2. The site is being promoted by a national housebuilder that is committed to delivering homes in the short-medium term – increasing the quantum of development on this allocation would ensure the draft RLDP delivers sufficient homes throughout the first part of the Plan period and maintains a more consistent supply of dwellings over the entire plan period.

3. The site falls within Cluster 2: Llanelli and Southern Gwendraeth Area which has been identified as a ‘national growth area’ within Future Wales. To this end, with the potential for up to 160 dwellings to be delivered, this site is genuinely deliverable and can contribute to the identified housing need within the locality.
Ultimately the proposed allocation of the site in its entirety would provide greater certainty in ensuring the emerging RLDP is able to effectively meet local housing need over the emerging plan period. Whilst also supporting a more consistent supply of homes in accordance with the Council’s trajectory with sufficient contingency built-in to account for any unforeseen slippages elsewhere.

For completeness, if the Inspectors were minded to recommend allocating Heol y Mynydd for the full 160 homes and retaining all other proposed site allocations as currently drafted, this would only result in an increase to 1,072 homes (as opposed to 992 set out in MAC document) equating to a housing supply of 9,894 homes. With regards to the proposed flexible allowance such changes would result in a figure of 12.15% compared to 11.24% as currently mentioned within the RLDP MAC version.

Although we appreciate these amendments are relatively minor in terms of plan-making they remain in keeping with the context of Carmarthenshire whilst providing greater certainty that the emerging plan is capable of meeting the identified housing need over the plan period.

The Council considers that the scale of the site, and in particular the housing numbers associated with the land has been subject to detailed consideration through the examination process and is consistent and appropriate to its location. Whilst the respondent points in relation to additional housing numbers and the resultant housing supply are noted, these matters have been fully considered through the examination and the current proposed allocation is considered sufficient and appropriate in this respect.

Pam fod cyfradd yr unedau fforddiadwy yn amrywio o ddatblygiad i ddatblygiad? Onid oes angen yr un canran drwyddi draw? Credwn fod y canrannau presennol uchod yn annigonol ac yn methu a chyfrannu at lefydd yr argyfwng tai sy’n bodoli yn y sir ac yn genedlaethol. Rydym yn argymell canran o 50% fel isafswm. Datblygiadau tai ar lefel fasnachol i ddatblygwyr yw’r rhelyw a fydd ar werth ar y farchnad agored ac yn denu mwy o brynwyr ariannog sydd ar gyfraddau cyflog y tu hwnt i fwyafrif trigolion y sir.

Here are examples below but it's a general point for all clusters in the entire LDP.

Why does the rate of affordable units vary from development to development? Isn't the same percentage needed throughout? We believe that the current percentages above are insufficient and fail to contribute to the places with a housing crisis that exist in the county and nationally. We recommend a percentage of 50% as a minimum. Housing developments on a commercial level for developers are the remainder that will be for sale on the open market and attract more wealthy buyers who are on wage rates that are beyond the majority of the county's residents.

Mae Polisi AHOM1 yn nodi'r canrannau gofynnol. Mae'r gofynion yma wedi eu tanseilio gan dystiolaeth gadarn sydd wedi bod yn destun archwiliad.

Policy AHOM1 notes the required percentages. These requirements are underpinned by robust evidence which has been subject to examination.

Ymatebydd: Llanllawddog Community Council

Within the Habitats Regulation Assessment the only specific site within Llanllawddog is at Cefn Farm, Rhydargaeau (reference SuV14/h1) relating to Matters Arising Change MAC 13 which describes that part of the site has been completed and that the element within the Deposit Revised LDP forms the remainder of the site. The Community Council is supportive that the continuation of the Clos y Fedw / Dan y Dderwen development has 3.7 affordable units earmarked. This is particularly important as there is a deficit of affordable housing within Rhydargaeau for young people who are local to the area to buy.

Comments Noted.

A part of the site has been developed with 2 affordable dwellings. The remainder of the site as highlighted within the HOM1 table identifies 17 dwellings remaining which would provide an indicative number of 1.7 affordable dwellings based on the affordable housing targets set out in Policy AHOM1.
