I am concerned that there are three potential development sites marked off Church Road, Gorslas. This would be in addition to the new Primary School to be developed in the park. Traffic is already bad on Church Road, especially at rush hour and weddings / funerals in the church, and with large Green's lorries using Church Road as well. I do not believe that Church Road and the junction at the bottom with Llandeilo Road / Six Ways is sufficient to cope with the increase in traffic if all three potential development sites are included in the LDP.

I OBJECT to this site being in the LDP because (1) the access road would be near a very dangerous bend (2) the wet nature of the land may cause additional drainage problems (3) any proposed development would be out of context with the open aspect of the neighbourhood (4) increased traffic volumes would cause unacceptable levels of air pollution at the bottom of Church Road, on Gorslas Square and near the new primary school.

Concerns have been expressed with regards to the candidate sites along Church Road, Gorslas (SR/ 067/ 002; SR/067/ 012 & SR/067/ 015) - particularly in regard to the increase in traffic that these developments would generate. The development of the new village primary school, which will have access from Church Road is expected to generate additional traffic flow along Church Road, and residents are concerned that further housing development will result in difficulties in exiting Church Road, particularly at peak times.

(i) Meeting Future Demand: There was a recognition of the need for limited and targeted developments appropriate in scale and nature to provide for the future housing and other needs of the young people to enable them to remain and live in their local communities as well as for other specific groups within the community for whom the provision of suitable housing within their locality would be appropriate.
(ii) Scale and density: The developments proposed in the draft plan were considered to be inappropriate and unnecessary to support the demand within the area. The proposed increase in capacity would totally overwhelm and subsume the existing communities permanently altering and changing the unique character and culture of the area.
(iii) Infrastructure: The existing infrastructure and utilities including roads, schools, water, sewage, electricity are felt to be fully utilised or near capacity and as such would not be able to support developments on such a scale.
(iv)Information/Consultation: There was a frustration from the public at the lack of clarity with regard to the process, timescales and when and how they could input into the process as well as when decisions relating to the draft L.D.P would be made.
