Support for the removal of housing allocation T3/8/h1 in Glanamman (in the current LDP) from the Revised LDP:
As the County Councillor of Glanamman, I have been receiving very strong objections from residents living within the vicinity of this land, regarding any future housing development from taking place. Some of the residents concerns are as follows:
• The highway’s infrastructure and the impact of the additional traffic would cause safety concern, in what is already a dangerous location.
• High ecological value, and any harm to its biodiversity.
• The long history of coal mining in the area and the recorded subsidence issues in the immediate vicinity.
• The impact a possible housing development would have on other residents, including a secluded dog rescue centre.
Therefore I welcome that this land is not included in the LDP or the second deposit revised LDP and sincerely hope it remains this way.

Support welcomed.

NB the respondent fully supports the representations submitted by Dr John Studley – Secretary of the Tirycoed Campaign Group, and so the following summary replicates Rep 5203 of Dr Studley:
Objection to the development limits, as drawn around the Former Glanamman Hospital and grounds (AS2/064/005), under Policy SD1. Objection to potential housing development on this site on conservation grounds and lack of access. Approximately 700 people objected to housing development on this site under the aegis of the RLDP and previous Planning Applications.
It is emphasised that development of housing on this land would be contrary to a number of Revised LDP policies.

Disagree. The development limits as drawn, encompassing the former hospital buildings and grounds, is considered appropriate and reflective of its location within the urban form, and given its status as previously developed land with vacant buildings. Future proposals on this land will be considered in accordance with LDP policy.

NB the respondent fully supports the representations submitted by Dr John Studley – Secretary of the Tirycoed Campaign Group, and so the following summary replicates Rep 5204 of Dr Studley:
Request for the former allocation SeC10/h4 (in the First Deposit RLDP), not including the two frontage plots (AS2/064/006), be reclassified as public or community space under Policy PSD7: Protection of Open Space.
It is emphasised that this reclassification would meet the requirements of a number of RLDP policies, and that habitat conservation would be at the heart of what is proposed. Furthermore, it is stated that this project would invest in the local Community and provide much need facilities for all. The inward development would also create local sustainable jobs, benefit local business and bring a much needed boost to the local economy. It would also serve as a Community hub, allowing people to meet and interact.

Whilst the Plan does not identify areas specifically as public or community space, the identified open space provision in the County (as covered under Policy PSD7) is mapped and assessed within the Carmarthenshire Open Space Assessment. The site in question has not been identified within this assessment. Matter to be further considered at Examination.

It is emphasised that this request is a fall back position should their primary preference [that the former housing allocation SeC10/h4 be reclassified for well-being, conservation and recreation ] not be possible – refer to rep 5708.
