Paragraph 11.16 states that where appropriate the allocated sites and their identified uses will be considered further through Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) in the form of development briefs. We are happy to be involved in their production and can offer advice on the assessments and considerations required to support any subsequent planning application submission.

Strategic policy SG3: Pembrey Peninsula
This is a new policy that has been included since the first draft. We can understand the significance of the area regarding the economy of the county but in addition to respecting the area’s role, function and sense of place it is imperative that proposals do not have a negative impact on the sensitive ecology of the area and that consideration is given to the risks from coastal flooding and erosion.
Pembrey is a particularly sensitive area with regard to ecology and habitat loss, disturbance, light pollution and hydrological impacts. Some of the UK's rarest species can be found in this area including Vertigo angustior and Dactonys aquatus, in addition to numerous other Sitte of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC) features. Water voles have been reintroduced to the Pembrey area in recent years and it also provides a haven for Dormice and Greater horsehoe bats. The area is also adjacent to the Burry Inlet Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar site.
Noted. The Pembrey Peninsula will be subject to Supplementary Planning Guidance.

PSD1: Effective Design Solutions: Sustainability and Placemaking
We support the intention of the policy to ‘maximise opportunities for; enhancement to the quality and extent of existing; and the creation of new, landscape and ecological elements and features, as Green and Blue Infrastructure assets’. However, connectivity needs to be considered in the design to ensure that existing habitats/biodiversity is not isolated. We therefore advise that as a point of clarity specific mention of connectivity is detailed within Policy PSD1 (d).
Comments noted. Matter to be further considered at examination.

The following sites are identified by the Flood Map for Planning as being at risk of flooding and therefore their allocation within the plan fails to meet the tests of soundness.
As confirmed in the letter from Welsh Government dated 15 December 2021, ‘when plans are reviewed, the flood risk considerations that feed into the settlement strategy and site allocations must be in accordance with the new TAN 15 and the Flood Map for Planning’. When proposing an allocation within a flood risk area your Authority should undertake sufficient background evidence to demonstrate that the development is appropriate for the flood zone and that the consequences of flooding can be acceptably managed.
The site has been delivered and its the allocation within the LDP for residential purposes is to reflect this.
