Respondent: Ms Pauline John

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.
