Running through the middle of this site is an ancient hedge and five metre field boundary, running east to west, straddling a drainage ditch for part of its length. This supports a considerable amount of wildlife, birds, such as greater spotted woodpeckers, coal tits and nuthatches, mammals such as foxes and an incredible diversity of invertebrates as well as orchids. To lose such a hedge and ditch would affect the drainage of that sloping field running down as part of natural run off towards the Gwendraeth Fawr. To build here would destroy a natural habitat and an essential environment.

My wife and I purchased our home at 148 Carmarthen Road because of the location and open and uninterrupted views afforded to the property. The area identified SR/026/006 has been and is currently used as pasture land and there is a mature oak tree on the site. Development of the site would spoil the views currently enjoyed and infringe upon the privacy and tranquillity enjoyed in and around home. Development of the proposed area would continue to erode and destroy the land available for farming and habitat for local wild life including the rare Fritillary Butterfly and theGrasshopper Warbler.

There is concern locally with regards to the development of SR/ 026/ 006 at the bottom of Heol Rhosybonwen. Residents feel that this would be an inappropriate extension of the village boundary, and an unnecessary loss of green space which is used by walkers via the public right of way. It is further noted that any access to this site would have to be from Heol Blaenhirwaun. The most recent planning permission for housing developed at Rhos y Bryn stipulates that no further traffic flow should utilize the Heol Rhosybonwen access.
