I object to the above for the following reasons:-
1. Small road - already too busy with traffic
* Access is not suitable

* Reduce our privacy
* Reduce safety - i.e. traffic
* Additional noise pollution
* Additional air pollution
* Surrounding fields are extremely wet
* Major gas pipe travels though the land
* It's currently outside the development limits
* Do not want to extend the development limits

We have deep concerns and object to the above.Firstly there is inadequate infrastructure to take increased volume of traffic. There's a major gas pipe running through the land proposed for development (which is currently outside the development limits) and we don't want the development limits extended. Also the housing allocation of 5+units with an accompanying report which states that the site has the capacity to accommodate 80 houses! will have a huge impact on the privacy of all present residents on Maerdy Hill. We urge you to consider our concerns.

We have the following concerns:

It's currently outside the development limits and we do not want to extend the development limits

The surrounding fields are extremely wet we back onto the fields and as evidenced at the
Welsh Countryman Game Fair and a major gas pipe travels though the land - origional pipe
not 2007 enhancement

Access via single vehicle lane / small road when approaching from Derwydd down Maerdy Hill
and already too busy with non residential traffic

Access is not suitable and reduced safety i.e. traffic and no safe pedestrian walkways

Finally will impact on our privacy

This site is currently outside the development limits, we don't want to see these extended.

Access via Heol y Maerdy is already unsuitable. The road is single lane above the site and already too busy with non-residential traffic. A new site will reduce safety with additional traffic and no pedestrian walkways.

The surrounding fields are very wet as evidenced at the recent Welsh Countryman's Game Fair and our own adjacent land. A major gas pipe also crosses the land (original pipe not 2007 enhancement).

Finally this will impact on our privacy, as well as negatively affecting the local rural landscape.

Many houses unsold on heol y Maerdy remain unsold for a considerable time - there is no demand for housing. A development of further housing nobody would want might cause a drastic fall in house prices in area
There is no Ind developments in area and thus no call for additional housing and workers- who would buy these houses and live in them?
Local schools are at virtual capacity
Small access road, unsuitable for heavy traffic. Noise pollution and air pollution an issue
My house and other already suffer from water from surrounding fields
Development outside 'the development limit'

Respondent: Mr Lynn Griffiths

Unsuitable for development as small road is very busy as shortcut from Glanamman and surrounding area to Llandeilo. Increased volume of traffic due to Llangadog Recycling charging for waste and usage of Llandyfan has increased.
Heavy burden on local schools and doctors in Llandeilo.

Respondent: Welsh Government

Trunk road junction does not meet DMRB standards. Site cannot come forward without junction improvement with trunk road.

The respondent has compiled some general comments from Welsh Government Network Management Division as highway authority for the trunk road and motorways in Wales and also makes a number of site specific comments. The respondent states that the strategic trunk road network is for the safe and expeditious movement of long distance traffic. In order to maintain free-flow and safety, there is a general presumption against new access onto trunk roads. Further detailed advice is given on how developments should seek to access trunk roads, with reference made to guidance and legislation (including the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) and the Active Travel Act).

In order for the trunk road highway authority to be in a position to make a considered view, the onus is on the forward planning authority to provide highway evidence in both capacity and safety terms. This will scope the consideration of existing network capacity constraints, agreed infrastructure upgrades and outline delivery streams (such as planning obligations).

Advice is provided on the potential accompanying evidence required with an application (eg Transport Statement (TS) or Transport Assessment (TA)) - commensurate with the scale of the proposal. Applications are judged on their individual merits and specific supporting traffic impact detail may be requested in order to consider network impacts. Where designs are not DMRB compliant there is a right to issue a direction to refuse an application.

Where developments require improvements to existing or new connections to the trunk road and these are agreed at planning, the developer will be required to enter into an appropriate legal agreement for their delivery, generally via Section 184 and Section 278 of the Highways Act.
