ITHON ROAD PHASE 3, 4 AND 5, LLANDRINDOD WELLS | PLANNING STATEMENT PA G E | 6 Site Description Site Location 2.1 The site comprises a rectangular parcel of agricualtural land to the east of Ithon Road in Llandrindod Wells. It is located to the south of Phase 1 & 2 of the residential development which is currently being constructed by J G Hale Construction Ltd and managed by Newydd Housing. 2.2 The site lies immediately east of Ithon Road (A4081) which links the settlements of Llandrindod Wells and Llanyre within the centre of the administrative county of Powys. The all-weather pitch at Ysgol Calon Cymru is situated to the south of the site with the wider playing fields located along the eastern boundary. Site Features 2.3 The field parcel comprises a linear stretch of agricultural land measuring approximately 2.6ha. The site’s boundaries are predominantly formed of post and wire fencing with mature hedgerows including a mix of bramble, hawthorn, blackthorn and existing trees, primarily along the northern and western boundaries. A large common oak sits half way along the site’s western boundary. 2.4 The site consists of greenfield land currently used for agricultural pasture. The majority of the land within the site boundary is semi- improved grassland and there are no structures located on the site, however, a drainage easement runs across the site in a north-east to south-west direction connecting with Llandrindod Wells’ Waste Water Treatment Works which lies approximately 200m to the south- west of the site. 2.5 The site’s topography slopes gradually from a high of 201m AOD along the eastern boundary adjacent to the playing fields of Ysgol Calon Cymru to a low of 187m AOD to the west along Ithon Road and thereafter, down to the river Ithon. There is also a gradual slope from a high of 196m in the north-eastern corner to a low of 191m AOD along the south-western corner of the site. 2.6 A review of TAN 15 Development Advice Maps shows the site to be within Flood Zone A. As such, there is no record of historic flooding on the site and it is considered to be of little or no risk of fluvial or coastal flooding. Access 2.7 Access into the field parcel is currently achieved directly via an agricultural gate located along the north-western corner of the site, off Ithon Road (A4081). The road is straight at this location; therefore, visibility is adequate in both directions. The recently re-routed public right of way (CF22/1) runs along the site’s northern boundary, ITHON ROAD PHASE 3, 4 AND 5, LLANDRINDOD WELLS | PLANNING STATEMENT PA G E | 7 connecting the site with Holcombe Drive to the north-west and the wider footpath network. Public Right of Way CF20/1 also runs parallel to the site’s eastern boundary. 2.8 Ithon Road is a local distributor road with an approximate carriageway width of 7.3m and footways along the eastern kerb (approximately 2m wide. The road is un-lit and is subject to a 30mph speed limit in the vicinity of the site which changes to 60mph approximately 700m to the north-west. 2.9 The site is served by public transport with several scheduled bus services connecting Llandrindod Wells with destinations such as Builth Wells, Newtown, Hereford, Brecon and Cardiff. There is an existing bus stop on Dyffryn Road within 600m walking distance to the site access and the X47 bus is routed along Holcombe Drive, to the north of the site connecting residents with the town centre and adjoining settlements. Llandrindod Wells Bus Interchange Station is located approximately 900m from the site. In addition, Llandrindod Wells railway station is located within the town centre, approximately 1km from the site. 2.10 The site benefits from being within walking distance to the centre of Llandrindod Wells, within which, there are a range of shops, school, community facilities, services and public transport routes.

  • WSA Water Quality Monitoring Update 10 Dec 2020
    WSA Water Quality Monitoring Update 10 Dec 2020 It is now nearly 6 months since we began sampling Phosphate (P) levels in the Wye in the river. To date we have taken some 259 samples at 14 locations in the river & tributaries. Our team of volunteers has grown to 11 with the addition of monitoring the main river at Fawley. When lockdown and river levels permit we will install a water temperature monitor as part of our ongoing Temperature Monitoring programme at the same location. Whilst we are observing some interesting data on P levels it remains inappropriate to draw firm conclusions until we gather a more substantive volume of data from a range of conditions throughout the year. However, there are some initial interesting results that encourage more detailed investigations. I have attached our spreadsheet for information. If you wish a full ‘excel’ file for your personal study and analysis please email me at [email protected] Some of our data is being analysed by an undergraduate at Cardiff University, himself an angler. Beginning with basic mapping of the sites he will follow on to study temporal trends in phosphate and river levels. At first look he is beginning to observe trends between water colour and phosphate level which seems likely rainfall linked. He will use various techniques to produce visual representations of the spatial and temporal variations in water chemistry. More at our next update. In tandem with the usual phosphate checks for WSA, and in the aftermath of the most recent fish kill on the Llynfi, Gwent AS has invested in an ammonia checker which records NH3-N.

Site Evaluation Grade II* Primary reasons for grading An extensive system of public parks and open spaces surviving in its entirety, including Rock Park, one of the first public parks created in Wales. Type of Site Victorian public park/spa with additional public areas throughout the town including arboretum and boating lake. Main Phases of Construction c. 1860 onwards. SITE DESCRIPTION ROCK PARK Rock Park is the principal public space of Llandrindod Wells and contains a famous chalybeate spring. The park is situated on the south-west side of the town and covers approximately 12 acres. The ground slopes down from Norton and Park Terraces, on the north-west and north-east respectively, towards the River Ithon, which creates the western boundary of the park, before rising towards a level terrace above the river where a Bowls Club is located. The main entrance to the park is opposite the Gwalia building on the north-eastern end of Norton Terrace. The Park is characterised by an open central area around three main spa buildings; the Pump Room, Treatment Centre and the Pavilion. It has two styles of planting; a Victorian arboretum to the north and native woodland on the south. A network of paths connect these different areas. A natural water feature, the Arlais Brook, runs through the park on a south-west diagonal.

For Those Who Want to Find Out More 1. Life by Four Rivers – Early Days by the Tame, Ystwyth, Severn, & Wye Introduction This story is about how I came from the sootiest, most industrial of industrial areas to spend the majority of my life in one of the greenest, most rural and least populated parts of England and Wales. To understand the journey, you must understand where I came from, what has influenced and motivated me, and how, at times, a few rivers have, serendipitously, shaped the chapters of my life. This is the world as seen through the eyes of a boy growing up in the Blackcountry in the early post-war years, and why, more than half a century later, it is clear that you can take a man out of the Blackcountry but you cannot take the Blackcountry out of a man. That I am a genuine Blackcountryman is confirmed, in my view, by my deep local roots which can be traced back in Wednesbury to Edward Slater in 1626 and probably, with a change of spelling, to John Sclator in 1554.

  • RIVER ITHON BRIDGE A470 Cwmbach to Newbridge-On-Wye Client
    RIVER ITHON BRIDGE A470 Cwmbach to Newbridge-on-Wye Client Welsh Government Location Builth Wells Date 2010-2011 Value Project £36m The £36m scheme comprised the construction of 6km of single carriageway between Cwmbach & Newbridge-on-Wye on the A470 trunk road, incorporating three significant structures over the existing A470, River Ithon and Central Wales rail link. Nine multiplate arch culverts were provided as mammal underpasses. Ithon Bridge The Ithon Bridge crosses the River Ithon just South of Newbridge-on-Wye, near Builth Wells. The structure comprises an 85m two span bridge, with reinforced concrete abutments at each end and one centrally located reinforced concrete pier. The over deck comprises a structural steelwork concrete composite construction. The River Ithon is a designated Special Area of Conservation (SAC) being a tributary of the River Wye, which is located 1 mile downstream. The north abutment and pier were constructed within a flood plain and Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd Waterways House · Llanfoist · Abergavenny · Monmouthshire · NP7 9LN Tel. 01873 857211 · Fax. 01873 857679 Email [email protected] · www.alungriffiths.co.uk were founded upon the bed rock, which leant itself to the design of the spread foundations, minimising excavation depths and over dig. On the south side of the river the existing topography meant that to construct a conventional abutment would have required considerable excavation and increased safety and environmental risks. In conjunction with our designers the abutment was designed to be reversed, bringing works closer to the river and having the effect of minimising the excavation depth and extent. With such environmentally sensitive conditions the works were very carefully planned and close co-ordination between all concerned parties ensured the bridge was successfully completed without incident.
