Candidate Site Register

Representation ID: 27953

Received: 20/09/2019

Respondent: Mr Lee Evans

Representation Summary:

Site has been turned down previously.

Site suffers from a lack of amenity, public transport service, increasing reliance on motor vehicles.

The site is green farm land, home to a wide variety of different species. Residential targets should be achieved through the more efficient use of high street vacant uppers and brown land, building higher, not destroying green spaces.

Poor access through a residential road sub 5.0 metres wide, with two blind bends, resident and visitors cars parked on pavements narrowing the road further, relevant in light of campaign / proposals by government to make it illegal to pavement park.

Change suggested by respondent:

I am requesting that this site (Land at Pen Y Waen Farm - Number 5) is removed from the RDLP. The inclusion of this site would be lazy on the part of the local authority. There are numerous alternative sites with better and safer access that should be considered. The protection of green land should be a local authority priority and more imaginative consideration given to the redevelopment of brownfield land and better building design to achieve higher densities through building higher in urban locations where there is better public amenity and access provision. Protecting green land in our beautiful local area should be of paramount importance to the local authority.
