I live at 28 FForest Road have done for some 25years. In that time I have witnessed a large increase in traffic flow down to the Black Horse, as well as the traffic from Hendy and Pontardulais
At 7 30am up until 9am the traffic with its inherenttraffic pollution has prompted me to vary my walking time ,similarly in the evening..I have also concidered wearing a face mask akin to Peking residents.Where are the plans for upgrading the roads, Surgeries, Schools Sewers,Land drainage,access etc.With all the other application at present, I fear for our well being.

I object to any significant addition of housing to the area around Junction 48 of the M4.
The infrastructure in the area is not able to cope with this, including a shortage of school places, doctors, over-subscribed roads, and the the motorway junction is already dangerously overcapacity, leading to long queues on the motorway, and potentially endangering lives.
As a semi-rural area with strong Welsh language, both of these are at risk with overbuilding in these areas.

I am objecting to the Land Development Plan SR/069/005 for a number of crucial reasons.
There appears to be no resources allocated to ensure that the extra pressure on roads, school capacity, surgery places or building on land that already has been designated as prone to flooding has not been addressed.
The two roads which will have to cope with the massive increase in traffic are totally inadequate, one a single track (3.01m wide) up Bronallt Road and the A48 is also effectively single lane, due to cars parking on both sides of the road.
No consideration for residents.

based on the following strategic policies
Strategic Policy - SP 6: Employment and the Economy
Strategic Policy - SP 8: Infrastructure
Development will need to be directed to locations where the infrastructure, services and facilities considered necessary to deliver and support the development proposal are available. current Infrastructure at these sites is not available or sustainable
- SP 12: Rural development
As per SP 13 this development would not enhance this SLA , and would certainly have an adverse effect on the biodiversity of the river . This objection would also apply to SP14 especially regarding landscape and conservation areas

Further development in the Pontardulais/Hendy/Fforest area will have a significant effect on the infrastructure, services (surgey, school, etc.) and road access to J48 of the M4. Hendy primary school has not increased in size since I attended nearly 50 years ago. It is already diffiult to get appointments at Pontardulais surgery and traffic is already conjested at J48 of the M4 with poor layout at this junction causing tailbacks joining the M4 from either Hendy or Llanelli. Tailbacks already stretch back onto the motorway on exiting the M4 from the east during evening rush hour..

The current highway infrastructure on Fforest hill is unable to accommodate or cope with current traffic let alone increased traffic as a result of further development in an already oversaturated area. It doesnt allow for two cars to pass, without the added pressure of additional vehicular congestion from potential housing sites. The overstretched local facilities will only be further compromised by additional residential accommodation. Concerns over drainage and implications on current residents are also key. In addition the LA has a duty to provide sufficient childcare for working parents, which is already currently limited, without increased residents in this village.

I wish to make the following comments regarding Carmarthenshire councils draft LDP strategy concerning sites in Hendy/Fforest, adjacent to Clos Benallt Fawr.

As you can appreciate, the community are extremely concerned with the high level of greenfield and good quality agricultural land, submitted for consideration. We can only hope that Carmarthenshire councils forward planning department, take into account the extensive development that has marred our community during the last LDP and will ensure that over-allocation and the effects does not re-occur.

I believe these candidate sites will directly contravene strategic policies and would ask that they be removed from consideration.

Following a public consultation exercise, a meeting of full council on the 6th February 2018 agreed that we wish to support the call for the protection of this site. We feel it is appropriate to protect land from development in Hendy and Forest in order to:
* preserve the environment
* avoid overburdening services, utilities and the busy road network
* avoid over the dilution of the culture of the village/protect the Welsh language.
