I am a resident of Pendderi Road and lived there for 15 years. We have already had to put up with hundreds of new houses opposite us making the roads incredibly busy, noisy and congested. Sewerage is also an issue, water retention and flooding. School applications are minimal as there are too many children in the catchment area now. I moved to this area as it was semi rural. It is quickly becoming a town at this rate. It upsets me greatly as I wanted to bring up my children in a quiet peaceful area. More dogs = faeces

Bryn has been developed extensively over recent years with significant developments either side of Penderry Road. This has already resulted in significantly higher traffic and congestion in the area, which will increase with these proposaks. There will be a considerable pressures placed upon the infrastructure, local schools and healthcare services, drainage and sewerage. I have recently witnessed several rats around the development on Penderry Road whilst running, and the road and surrounding area is an absolute mess.
Bryn is a beautiful area with considerable green spaces and wildlife. With these proposals CCC are turning it into a concrete jungle.

In the local area the roads are already congested, with the development of more housing road congestion will increase, leading to health issues and possible accidents.
There are no more available school places
Demand for medical services, including a doctor is high now and with additional homes being developed demand will increase.
The area is over developed now, there are few employment opportunities for the local area.
Local services, such as sewerage are stretched now. More housing will place even more pressure on services.
There is a potential for environmental damage which could affect local wildlife.

I am in the process of purchasing a property at Maes Yr Bryn & am very concerned the property will decrease in value. If these plans go ahead I will also lose breathtaking views (one of the reasons I am purchasing the property). Other concerns of mine include disastrous consequences to wildlife, extra traffic going through the village, inadequate drainage, sewerage issues, insufficient infrastructure, access to residential areas, lack of healthcare (GP surgery being full to capacity) and insufficient/inadequate school places for my children. These proposals are very worrying & in my opinion would destroy the village of Bryn.

if you were to build on this land, it would have disastarous consequences for wildlife which has already relocated in recent years due to the area being built upon, such as bryn uchaf and the currenct site ( persimmon site) Sighting of bats in this area. this land has salways been green!

Proposals that could connect distinct villages is unacceptable, as you are coalescing urban development and losing individual village identity. Extensions to villages should therefore be located away from other nearby village boundaries.

If this site was to be developed it would create ribbon development along the B4297 which is at odds with existing landscape character and settlement patterns and may form barriers for ecology.

This site is directly adjacent to a current residential development of over 35 properties on land at Maes y Bryn which highlights that further expansion would be considered overdevelopment in a very localised area.

I think all this housing which is being planned is appalling. There is total Insuffient/Inadequate Infrastructure in Llangennech/Bryn to manage this. Also the road network will be unable to cope with the traffic. A lot of this would come from the motorway and through the village there is parked cars and if it gets much busier there will be a tragedy at some point. It is very narrow and any extra vehicles to support all this housing is utterly wrong. This particular site is loss of narrow green belt resulting in the merger of the villages of Bryn and Llangennech

Having lived in Llanelli for 60 years and been a resident of Llangennech for the last 13 years the increased housing developments have put increasing loads on the local infrastructure. Our schools are at capacity, our road links are inadequate. The area is becoming a commuter satellite of Swansea/Cardiff which we cannot cope with. Future developments will only add to the problems. This is not only a problem with this proposed site but many in the Bryn/Bynea/Llangennech and Hendy areas. There is strong local objection to these proposals; you would have more objections if this procedure was more user friendly

I have concerns regarding the following - the infrastructure for the area is both inadequate and insufficient for the expected population increase should these developments go ahead.
Schools in the area are already close to full capacity for existing residents.
Concerns regarding inadequate drainage and specifically sewerage issues need clarification and comprehensive investigation.
Healthcare, doctors surgeries have limited registration places available.
Road network is not suitable for this volume of traffic.
Already lots of building work in this area.

The roads in the area are not able to support an increase in traffic, the same applies to our schools, Doctor's surgeries and drainage systems.
Also the environmental consequences; the destruction of beautiful green space and damage to wildlife. There are brown/derelict sites in the County which need improving and could be used. The health implications on residents of increased traffic through our villages. I feel the need for extra housing is not in our area but in other parts of the Country, many houses are taking so long to be sold, this does not reflect a housing shortage here.

It will increase in the volume of traffic, at peak times there is already considerable congestion on Junction 48, which is just waiting for a fatal accident to occur, Given the existing developments in Carmarthenshire and the proposed developments in Pontarddulais and Hendy this will only exacerbate the situation. Has a joint traffic survey been carried out with Swansea Council with Junction 48 and other affected routes?
Where has the number of houses required come from?
Added pressure on an already over subscribed surgery, hospital services and schools.
Pressure on wildlife.
Loss of community identify especially Welsh language.

The Bryn Llangennech Bynea Llwynhendy communities should be kept as the distinct villages not a housing connurbation .e significant increase in housing in all the above means resources of schools, highways etc will be too stretched. Bad planning with ribbon development in the past on Penllwyngwyn Road stretching from Bryn towards Llangennech is no excuse for filling in land on Penllwyngwyn Farm. Penllwyngwyn Farm and its land does have bats and Barn Owls. The land provides a green corridor as well as giving a delightful view and green space contributing to the well being of residents and road users.

I am in the process of purchasing a property in Maes Yr Bryn and am very concerned about residential properties being build in the surrounding area. My concerns include access points to the residential properties and the road network being unable to cope with the extra traffic. I am also concerned about the pressures on the local hospital and two GP surgeries in the area which are already overstretched. Other concerns include insufficient school places in the local schools which are already full to capacity, inadequate drainage, insufficient infrastructure and the consequences to wildlife.

The infrastructure is already under pressure after the building of Bryn Emrallt and now the Persimmon development. Junction 48 under Section 278, Highways Act 1980 will need significant improvement to manage the volume of traffic, as it is currently the only junction on the M4, which does not have a roundabout/traffic lights.
In addition, my neighbours have experienced raw sewage entering their property every time it rains, as a direct result of the additional houses (acknowledged by the building firm). The systems are therefore unable to cope with the increased capacity and there are yet more houses in the offing.

Bryn Primary School is already overcrowded. There are pupils who have been forced to move classes due to the class sizes being too large. Additional homes in the area will exacerbate this problem. The infrastructure cannot cope with the demand as it is at the moment.

Infrastructure:
The road is inadequate to cope with the increased volume of traffic. The village of Llangennech already has a raft of traffic calming measures, increasing the number of cars would negate this.
There are currently issues with low water pressure and there have been problems with the sewerage system not being able to cope with the volume of water run off. This contributes to flooding in the village of Llangennech.
Environmental:
By turning the farmland to residential use, water would run off instead of being absorbed into the ground. This increases the risk of flooding downhill from this development.

Where is there a limit to traffic and population. We are loosing our environment, the wild life is being pushed out, our green areas being reduced, the by removing the co2 balancing plants. The farm is in decline at the moment, but the need for food production will return, if there is no land for food production where do we go

It is vital that the distinctive character of our local communities are maintained and are not assimilated into neighbouring communities, otherwise there is a very real danger of community identity being irreversibly lost with social cohesion and "community" itself being destroyed.

It's the feeling of belonging to and being part of a particular community that is the key to a healthy community and to risk destroying that by merging communities is unnecessary and irresponsible.

The communities of Bryn and Llangennech are completely different and it is vital that they remain so. These are still rural communities and to allow development on these proposed sites would endanger their identity as such and would change their character becoming more like one small town rather that two distinct villages.
With the recent, current and future proposed developments in the Bryn (Heol y Mynnydd), the increased traffic flow along the B4297 has had a huge detrimental effect namely in pollution, noise and traffic volume. It has now become very difficult and dangerous attempting to drive out of our property due to the greatly increased volume of traffic. Also, the loss of visual amenity from our property would also be very detrimental to the values of the properties along Penllwyngwyn Road.
I would argue that the development of these proposed sites is wholly unnecessary and would place existing amenities under unsustainable strain and therefore I would strongly urge you to reject these proposals.
