He has been in contact with one of the objectors on a number of occasions and has discussed some issues relating to site with him which would mean he would have difficulties assessing the application.   He is also a member of the governing body of Glan y Mor School which is very near to the site.

PL/05770

Change of use of existing residential building to 6 bedroom HMO at 156 Station Road, Llanelli, SA15 1YU

Representations were received from the local members objecting to the application, as detailed within the report of the Head of Place and Sustainability, emphasising that there was already an excess of HMOs in the area which had led to an increase in anti-social behaviour, litter and crime in the Tyisha Ward which had an effect on community cohesiveness making the area less attractive to young families and causing house prices to drop.

The Senior Development Management Officer responded to the issues raised.

Strong suggestions were raised that there were more HMO’s in the area than the recorded number stated within the report of the Head of Place and Sustainability.

In response to a request if the application could be deferred so that the HMO question could be explored, the Senior Development Management Officer advised that the Committee was to make a decision based on the information put before them today.

PL/05786

Construction of dwelling for local needs eligibility – policy at Plas Newydd, Llangain, Carmarthen, SA33 5AY

Members were reminded that this application was first reported to the Planning Committee on 22 June 2023. The original report that was presented to the Planning Committee was reproduced for the Committee’s consideration.
