PL/03189

Erection of four dormer bungalows and creation of new access to include the demolition of existing dwelling and associated outbuildings at Bryn Bedw, Rhydargaeau, Carmarthen, SA32 7DT

 

(NOTE: Councillor M.J.A. Lewis having earlier declared an interest in this application left the meeting during its consideration by the Committee).

 

A representation was received objecting to the application which re-iterated the objection points detailed within the Head of Planning’s written report.  Those included concerns that the village was becoming overwhelmed with development, placing more strain on its infrastructure.  The impact on the capacity of the nearby primary and nursery schools with no plans to expand the local Welsh medium primary school and nursery is at capacity.  The negligible impact upon the Welsh Language within the applicant’s statements which were unsupported. Furthermore, the development would add to the already high the volume of traffic on the A485, visibility issues and speeding vehicles and by having more accesses on to the road would exacerbate this existing situation. 

 

The applicant’s agent and the Development Management Officer responded to the issues raised.
