I was horrified to learn that a substantial housing estate is planned on green land off Peulwys Lane. The Lane at this point is very narrow and is not designed to take what might amount to another thousand cars. A development of this size will undermine the existing community and the infrastructure is not designed to cope with this scale of building. There is a great deal of water that flows from the hill and the extra strain of more drainage, could have a disastrous effect.
I know that the local Doctors' surgery are horrified at the prospect.

Noted - The concerns are recognised and will be addressed through various measures put in place during the planning process, for example following the recommendations of Transport Assessments as agreed with the Council's Highways officers, the provision of monies from developers towards schools where this is needed and land for a satellite surgery subject to the Healthboard's needs. The Health Board have been consulted. Any drainage issues will need to be resolved to the satisfaction of NRW and CCBC's Environment Comments from the Biodiversity and Countryside officer will be taken into account at the development brief/pre-planning application stage, but we will work on the principles of retaining as many natural features of the site as possible, e.g. Trees, hedgerows etc.
