Representation ID: 27934

Received: 20/09/2019

Respondent: Koldo Azurza

Representation Summary:

It is an expensive residential development due to its steep orography and is not focussed on the strategic growth areas identified. As an area of outstanding beauty, should become a publicly owned land for all to enjoy and remain rural without planning permission. Do not assume that this land had been purchased at the right price at any stage since sold by Welsh Water. Lastly, the lane serving this site is a "non-adopted" one. The Council should adopt the lane and provide the mandatory sustainable drainage systems for surface water disposal if pushes ahead with this development.

Change suggested by respondent:

Honeysuckle Lane to be adopted by the Council in order to approve and proceed with their plans. Otherwise, like many developments, they are pushed without proper investment on infrastructure in detriment of the subsequent wellbeing of the population they serve.
