The Chair read out a written representation provided by the local Member objecting to the application, re-iterating the points detailed within the Head of Place and Sustainability’s report including:-

 

·       The number of concerns raised following the Pre-Application Consultation process relating to 

-   the proposed number of units/density, the tenure, amenity;

-   its impact of the proposal on properties along the Parade;

-   the lack of parking spaces especially in respect of health and care professionals.

PL/04799 -

Relocation of existing vehicular / roadway automatic gateway and access control panel with associated fencing and removal of pedestrian gate at Land to the South of Nos 175 and 162, Pentre Nicklaus Village, Llanelli, SA15 2DF

 

[Note:  Councillor Edward Skinner declared a personal interest in this item and left the meeting prior to the consideration and voting thereof.]

 

Representations were received objecting to the application re-iterating the points detailed within the Head of Place and Sustainability’s report highlighting the concern over the proposed loss of the pedestrian gate, which was well used by a range of people and therefore should be relocated to the new location.

 

Following the representations, it was proposed and carried that a site visit was not deemed necessary as the information presented by officers was sufficient.

 

The Agent and Senior Enforcement and Monitoring Officer responded to the issues raised during consideration of the report.

 

 

PL/06289

 

Construction of 12 no. residential dwellings with associated infrastructure works at Land lying to the south of Parc Gitto, Llwynhendy, Llanelli, SA14 9LB

 

 

The local Member due to another commitment had to leave the meeting prior to the consideration of this item therefore, the Chair, in her absence read out a written representation requesting a site visit in order to take into the consideration of the drainage and recent flooding of the properties in the area.  A concern was raised regarding the foul water pumping into the local pumping station, which at times was unable to cope with flow of water. A further two additional dwellings would have a further impact on the pumping station being able to cope.

 

Following the officer’s presentation and the consideration of the representation, it was proposed and carried to not undertake a site visit.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 3.
