Preferred Strategy

Representation ID: 28242

Received: 20/09/2019

Respondent: Mr Clive Jackson

Representation Summary:

To develop this site would not be in the interests or wellbeing of local residents, it would result in the loss of valued agricultural land and open green space.
This area already has plans for approximately 450 units, Ty Mawr, Plas Gwilym, adjacent 123 Peulwys Lane and Llysfaen Road. This would meet the needs for the next 15 years.
The Ty Mawr site if developed responsibly would provide the much needed affordable houses for local people.
The infrastructure is not coping now, another 450 in the same area just does not make sense, even if they were needed.

Our response:

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, Agricultural Land Assessments, the provision of monies from developers towards schools where this is needed and land for a satellite surgery subject to the Healthboard's approval. In terms of the other sites referred to, Ty Mawr will be included in the deposit plan and will count towards supply. Plas Gwylim has been subject to an appeal and court decision and it is not clear at this stage if housing development will take place on this site
