Already Issues with flooding , Sewage and traffic in the area. Any further houses would lead to flooding and hence a compensation claim.

This would increase the traffic on the A484 considerably. There are lengthy delays daily due to the development on Sandy Road since the construction of hundreds of houses in the area.
There are already drainage problems which have been a long standing situation of both run off and sewerage.
Di-spite a new school being build in the village it will not be adequate to offer places for such an increase in population.
There is only one surgery in Burry Port which is already under pressure. Therefore many Pembrey residents have to travel to Kidwelly for a doctor's appointment.

Concern regarding increase in volume of traffic using A484, and knock-on effects.
Especially worried about increase in traffic using Mountain Road to avoid congestion problems on A484.
Mountain Road is in no way capable of carrying more traffic. The increase already over the past few years has resulted in this road becoming extremely dangerous, with the occurrence of accidents and many 'near misses'.

My objection is based on the increased risk of flooding, increase in volume of traffic, loss of habitat for wildlife including bats and voles and due to the lack of amenities to cope with the increase in population- specifically gp services which are unable to cope at the present, school places, etc. There are other sites in the area which are much more appropriate for development, this is not appropriate.

My opposition is based upon the following concerns:

1. Traffic dangers
2. Surface water flooding issues and sewerage -

3. Listed building consideration - Cwrt Farm is currently a Grade 11* listed building. The proposed development would completely ruin the setting of this unique heritage,
4. Impact on local infrastructure, amenities and local communities - Doctor / dental surgeries and schools are at full capacity without the extra burden that this and other developments could bring.
5. Welsh Language and culture
6. Visual impact
7. Loss of habitat and hedgerows

The A484 is already seriously congested with large queues forming every morning/evening.
Pembrey is a tourist area and promoted as such by Carmarthenshire County Council (Country Park, Cefn Sidan beach, Race Track, etc) and heavy traffic/congestion will put visitors off.
Pembrey Mountain is a haven for wildlife and these must be catered for and protected.
Flooding is a real risk for local residents.

Surface run-off water will be a problem as site is low lying.

This site is in keeping with a reasonable, small site growth plan for the area, will attract affordable homes and not create too much traffic on A484

There are already existing issues in the area with flooding during heavy rain periods which would be exasperated by any future developments. The village and roads through to Llanelli do not have the infrastructure to cope with a large amount of additional traffic which will undoubtedly spill onto the mountain roads which are again not deigned for heavy traffic volume. The existing sewers are already nearing full capacity. The schools , doctors , dentists in Burry Port are already turning customers away.
The village simply does not have the logistics to cope with additional developments.

I wish to register my objection to Site SR/016/015 being included in the LDP on the grounds of
Pembrey is currently a village of considerable historic interest, further developments of this size will turn it into little more than a dormitory town; it will lose its identity and sense of community and its rural setting will be gone forever. The issue of flooding remains an issue and will be exacerbated as more green belt is covered in concrete and tarmac. The the busy A484 will become even more horrendously busy.

The respondent emphasises a strong objection to the site being included on the grounds that it has been included previously but previous planning applications have been refused. The respondent states that it is obviously not suitable for development and should be taken out of the LDP.

It is claimed that an increase in population, would have a detrimental impact on the hard and soft infrastructure of the area. It is envisaged that disruption will be caused by building work. It is claimed that there are a lack of services in Pembrey (eg shops and post office), and there is concern that the area is becoming a "ghost town" between 9-5 due to limited employment opportunities.

Reference is made to the capacity of the A484, with specific reference to Sandy Road and there is concern at the impact on the area's tourism offer and environment. It is claimed that the Kidwelly and Burry Port area should be curtailed as south west wales as oppose to becoming a commuter belt for south east Wales.

We object to the inclusion of a number of sites in Pembrey in the Local Development Plan - SR/016/003, SR/016/015, SR/016/017, SR/016/006, SR/016/018.
The A484 is already extremely busy with traffic going to the Country Park, Pembrey Motor Sports and Ffos las. Pembrey would experience even longer tailbacks, similar to those near Sandy Park Roundabout.
Surface water and sewerage is a concern. Danlan Park has recently had major repair works to the sewerage system. More properties in Pembrey would increase the strain on an already overload system. Concern has been expressed about the working capacity of the Lloetrach Pump House.
