The inclusion of SR/021/051 in the LDP does not positively seek to meet the traffic infrastructure needs of the hamlet of Ffynnonddrain.

Access to the site would negatively impact the safety of road users in a road section of existing poor visibility.

The hamlet is accessible to the town of Carmarthenshire and yet set in a rural aspect. As such, it is used for recreational purposes including walks by the elderly, young children, dog walkers and cyclists. The inclusion of SR/021/051 into the LDP does not consider that an increase of traffic and an expansion of the hamlet would negatively effect this, and is inconsistent with the objectives of the Wellbeing and Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.

The inclusion of SR/021/051 the LDP has not been made with the participation of the local community that it affects.

The inclusion of SR/021/051 in the LDP does not consider that village is affected by water surface drainage issues. Due to the gradient of the land, and convergence of springs, and feeder streams, several properties in Ffynnonddrain have been increasingly adversely affected with water ingress into their homes. The plan does not consider that development of the proposed site would exacerbate the water surface problem.
