I am sure you are aware of the fact, that this proposed area of development is the habitat of the protected Marsh Fritillary butterfly under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Secondly, there are water voles present in the Gwendraeth Fawr running through this site, which also are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Furthermore, the infrastructure and schools within the village of Gorslas would be unable to sustain the increase of dwellings and the inevitable population increase, that such a large development would produce.

We have already had numerous 'near miss' RTC's involving school children trying to negotiate the very busy roads in the village. More houses equal more cars, which will just increase the risk of a fatality on our village's overcrowded roads.

We are also aware of who owns this land.

I would hope that the planning committee, would consider these factors in their entirety and reach the conclusion of refusing this submission for future development here. The village of Gorslas simply could not safely, sustain such a development
