Meidrim is in desperate need of affordable homes for young families. This site is ideal for that purpose. Meidrim has a well established well-performing primary school, a great park which has been funded with grants, public toilets managed by Meidrim Community Council, a wonderful village green managed by Meidrim Community Council and the whole area is ideal for young families. The only thing missing is affordable housing for local people.

The proposed development of residential dwellings would adversely effect the village of Meidrim. The number of dwellings proposed is far too many for a village of this size. Access to the site from both sides would be dangerous. The entrance from Drefach Road is on a bend and the other side is very close to the bend entering the village on the Carmarthen Road.

Meidrim currently has a number of ongoing developments which cater for more expensive housing. This community desperately needs housing which is affordable to young couples starting out and young families. Most importantly priority should be given to those from local families who are currently being forced to move away from their home community due to the lack of affordable housing.

The village would be swamped by a large scale development. Major infrastructure improvements would be needed in and around the village. Land already exists in the Development Plan. Small scale, organic growth is desirable and welcome. Benefits to potential new residents would be lost as the village community would have died by such a level of input.

Objection to the candidate sites for Meidrim. The cost to the authority is too great considering improvements to the infrastructure that are necessary. Brown Field sites must be explored as infrastructure, resources and facilities are already exist. The Green Belt, its wildlife and natural habitat needs protecting. Air quality needs safeguarding. Once development starts it is difficult to holt progress. Education, employment and health care are limited in this area. The authority is striving to make difficult target cuts to budgets, Justification for development would be more cost effective and better suited to sites that could easily accommodate housing projects.

The lovely little rural village of Meidrim will loose all of its beautiful character with a housing development of this size. I cant imagine anyone in the village will support this project. It is extremely unfair to all the homeowners beneath the development as it will go against all the reasons they decided to move there in the first place. there will also be major issues will the sewerage system as it cant already meet the demand.

I have linked this one with comments made on objection SR/112/002. Any approach to Meidrim by car is on twisty, narrow roads. Drivers are often impeded by tractors, milk lorries, farming contractors and now Cowindale. The village bridge is narrow, the sewage station built about 1966, is already in a bad state and is frequently flooded. What was acceptable then , is not adequate for today .

As a resident of Meidrim my objections as I feel the village will not sustain the development. There are no employment opportunities, little in regards public transportation, a primary school with no head teacher of its own, very few recreation facilities and for those seeking to shop or undertake daily living tasks need to access them via inadequate roads but that is the choice for people who move to rural areas. This was my choice to reside in the beautiful, unspoilt strong welsh speaking community. I am confident that a development would spoil the character and community of the village

As a resident of Meidrim I am opposed to the candidate sites for the following reasons
The increase in the number of houses would have a negative impact on the character of the village and could damage the welsh culture that exists.
The development would massively involve an expensive upgrade of infrastructure such as the widening of rural narrow lanes, drainage, sewage, lighting, policing, health care, education. There is no gas in the village and no mobile signal with poor internet services.
The environmental cost of losing more green belt land that is irreplaceable

As A new resident to Meidrim I strongly oppose the development. It's my choice and right to reside in a rural village that boasts character with a strong welsh cultural community. After the developers have left Im afraid what the lasting legacy to the area will hold. Council cuts will inevitable have an impact, roads and furnishings will need to be maintained, policing and health care will need to be increased. Public transport and services will need to be more accessible. Loss of open green space is unforgivable, money would be better spent encouraging young people to enter into agriculture.

This site will overlook my property and spoil the rural feel of the area and my view of the surrounding area. I chose the location as it was on the edge village edge. I would no longer be so. The road outside my property already struggles with the traffic flow, due to the narrowness of the road (with numerous accidents on this stretch of road). The infrastructure can not support a new development of this size. There is already a problem with drainage to Carmarthen Road when it rains and this could mean water from this site entering my garden.

Existing developments with vacant building plots should be finalised before further development land is allocated. Affordable housing must be given the highest priority within rural communities. It is the younger generation who will be the future of such communities. Executive housing, built solely to maximise profit will not sustain communities.
