Minutes:

3.1    RESOLVED that the following planning applications be granted subject to the conditions detailed within the Report/Addendum of the Head of Planning and or reported at the meeting:-

 

W/36571

Residential development (4 dwellings) at land off Capel Evan Road, Carmarthen, SA31 1HJ

 

Representations were received objecting to the proposed development which re-iterated some of the points detailed within the Head of Planning’s written report and included the following:-

·        Concern at the loss of on- street parking arrangements to the detriment of existing residents, some of whom had mental and physical ailments,

·        Parking in adjoining streets was not considered to be a viable option given the ailments referred to above, coupled with the fact they were already heavily parked,

·        It was felt traffic flows along Capel Evan Road could be disrupted by construction traffic to the detriment and safety of road users

·        Increased traffic generated by the development could be detrimental to existing road users and pedestrians especially as the road was used as a bus route and by children walking to school

·        The lack of parking provision along Capel Evan Road had always been problematical for residents which had not been addressed by the Council.

 

The Assistant Engineer Planning Liaison, together with the applicant’s agent responded to the issues raised.
