I very strongly oppose the proposed residential development plan. Tycroes is already a large village - no further residential areas are necessary. Far too much land in the area has already been taken up for building purposes, with the subsequent loss of green spaces, ancient woodland, the variety of plant life and the wildlife dependent upon this environment. Once lost, this ecosystem can never be regained, a situation detrimental to the living conditions not only of plants and animals but of the people already resident in this area and their enjoyment of their community.

Following recent public consultation, a meeting of Llanedi Community Council on the 6th February 2018 agreed that we wish to object to the inclusion of this site on to the LDP.
Our specific objection to this candidate site also includes concerns over:
* increases in traffic
* issues over access
* inadequate drainage
* the natural environment/ the site is home to a heronry
* lack of infrastructure/services (doctors/schools etc.)

Transport case evidencing required prior to inclusion in LDP with TA and full modelling.

The respondent has compiled some general comments from Welsh Government Network Management Division as highway authority for the trunk road and motorways in Wales and also makes a number of site specific comments. The respondent states that the strategic trunk road network is for the safe and expeditious movement of long distance traffic. In order to maintain free-flow and safety, there is a general presumption against new access onto trunk roads. Further detailed advice is given on how developments should seek to access trunk roads, with reference made to guidance and legislation (including the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) and the Active Travel Act).

In order for the trunk road highway authority to be in a position to make a considered view, the onus is on the forward planning authority to provide highway evidence in both capacity and safety terms. This will scope the consideration of existing network capacity constraints, agreed infrastructure upgrades and outline delivery streams (such as planning obligations).

Advice is provided on the potential accompanying evidence required with an application (eg Transport Statement (TS) or Transport Assessment (TA)) - commensurate with the scale of the proposal. Applications are judged on their individual merits and specific supporting traffic impact detail may be requested in order to consider network impacts. Where designs are not DMRB compliant there is a right to issue a direction to refuse an application.

Where developments require improvements to existing or new connections to the trunk road and these are agreed at planning, the developer will be required to enter into an appropriate legal agreement for their delivery, generally via Section 184 and Section 278 of the Highways Act.
