Candidate Site Register

Representation ID: 27952

Received: 20/09/2019

Respondent: Mrs Fiona Taylor

Representation Summary:

I am concerned that the site identified does not have sufficient access to support the potential future development of the land for housing. Ffordd Triban is a narrow cul -de-sac off Cherry Tree Lane. Both roads already have a number of parked vehicles which restrict potential access. Any potential increase in the resident population will make access for emergency vehicles, council recycling vehicles and existing residents more challenging.
The development of the land will destroy the habitat for bats ( a protected species) foxes,badgers and other wildlife. Alternate suitable brownfield and infill sites should be developed instead.

Change suggested by respondent:

I request that site (5) is removed from the RDLP. Consideration for development of land should be focused on brownfield and infill sites.
