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.

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.

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

PL/04027

Proposed Local needs 3/4 bed detached dwelling house, with 3 parking spaces, internal road, upgrading of existing field access and accompanying site works. These proposals will require a change use of agricultural land to C3 Dwelling house at Land opposite Sparrows Nest, Whitland, SA34 0LG

A representation was received from the local member in support of the application highlighting that the recommendation to refuse the application would penalise a local young couple who wished to build their future in Whitland, whilst fitting the bill for local needs it was disappointing that the application was refused for its size.  It was concerns were made in regard to the S106 agreement to control the future sale of the property which would penalise the couple and affect the property’s future open market value.

The Senior Development Management Officer and the Senior Solicitor responded to the issues raised during consideration of the report.

The Senior Development Management Officer stated that a report would be brought back to the Committee setting out the proposed conditions for their ratification.
