PL/05354

Retention of detached dwelling at Pantbach, Heol Treventy, Cross Hands, Llanelli, SA14 6TE

Representations were received objecting to the application re-iterating the points detailed within the Head of Place and Sustainability’s report and included:

·       Residents had not been consulted on the initial proposal prior to the house having been built,

·       The property, being a large detached house and not a bungalow, was overbearing;

·       The window situated in the eastern elevation of the property overlooking the neighbour’s garden was not obscurely glazed,

·       The septic tank serving the property was not situated 7m away from the property, against current regulations. Concern was raised on the tank’s ability to cater for both the development property and the nearby dwelling and on the potential for it to overflow into an adjoining field,

·       Concern was expressed on the pressure of the water supply to the property and its adequacy to operate the fire sprinkler system and shower on the basis it also served the adjoining bungalow,

·       Concerns were raised on the electricity supply to the premises, which also came from the neighbouring bungalow.

·       Impact on the privacy of the adjoining property as the house had not been erected in accordance with the approved site plan.

The Senior Development Management Officer responded to the issues raised.

PL/05493

Three detached dwellings at land near Plas y Fforest Farm, Plas y Fforest, Fforest, Swansea, SA4 0TT

A representation was received objecting to the applicationre-iterating the points detailed within the Head of Place and Sustainability’s report and included:

·       Residents had not been consulted on the proposal with it only becoming apparent when heavy earth moving equipment arrived on site.

·       The gradient to the site was very steep.

·       The height and scale of the three dwellings to be erected on the site would overlook properties on the lower elevation resulting in a loss of light.

·       The proposed development would not be in keeping with neighbouring residential properties,

·       Extant planning for the site had been granted 25years previously and there was no need for more properties.

·       Development of the site would adversely impact on the established flora and fauna on the site together with wildlife.

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