This proposed area of development is the habitat of the protected Marsh Fritillary butterfly under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Also this is a habitat for water voles in the Gwendraeth Fawr which runs through this site, which are also protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Planning permission has been previously refused on these grounds and the present conditions remain the same.

The volume of traffic in the area is already at saturation point and there has been numerous 'near miss' RTC's involving school children trying to negotiate the very busy roads in the village. .

Furthermore, the infrastructure and schools within the village of Gorslas would not be unable to sustain the increase in population that such a large development would produce.

Hopefully the planning committee, will consider these factors in reaching their decision, and refuse this application. Gorslas could not safely, support another development.

We know who owns this land and trust that this will not carry any weight or influence the committees decision.
