FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M21 - LLANDYSSIL Introduction 1. The community of Llandyssil took its current form in the 1986 Review, when a warded community comprising the new village of Abermule and the historical village of Llandyssil was created from the former communities of Llandyssil, Llanmerewig and parts of the former Newtown and Bettws communities. The topography of the community is defined by the valley of the river Severn, the road and rail routes that follow its course, and the hills and tributary valleys leading away from it. Settlement in this community is defined in particular by the routes that lead to the A483 and Newtown. Both Abermule and Llandyssil have seen a significant amount of development in recent years. Abermule is classified as a key settlment in the Unitary Development Plan, benefiting from a good range of community services and infrastructure and having the capacity to accommodate additional development. Llandyssil is classified as a small village, having some community services and facilities, but being served by access roads that are not of the highest quality. The small village of Aberbechan, with its limited community services and facilities, straddles the community boundary with Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn, a point to which we shall return. The remainder of the population lives in scattered farms and dwellings and in the small rural settlements of Green Lane and Llanmerewig. 2. The community has a population of 1,218, an electorate of 1,004 (2005) and a council of 10 members. The community is warded: Abermule with 599 electors and five councillors; Llandyssil with 405 and five.

Abermule News October 2018
ABERMULE NEWS OCTOBER 2018 The Abermule Communities Together committee have had received overwhelming support from the local community in fighting this recycling plant foisted on us by Powys County Council. The communities surrounding Abermule have been wonderful and turned out in strength on Saturday to protest against the industrial size processing plant, on what we were lead to believe would be a prestigious business park, on the entrance to Abermule. Have no doubt - this will affect all of us, with up to 600 large vehicle movements a week, the noise of glass being tipped throughout the day and potential for infestation on a site known to flood. A massive thanks to Glyn Davies, MP and Russell George AM who have pledged their full support to us. The newspapers have featured us and so has the radio and TV channels. This will escalate further! We must now take this to County Hall Llandrindod Wells on October 18th and show the Powys County Council that we detest and reject the way this matter has been dealt with by Asbri Planning Cardiff and Powys Planning Authority. If we don't show strength on this matter, who knows what else the planners will dump on Abermule. Subscribe for the latest news to: Abermule Communities Together on Facebook. Jeff Matthews Chair of ACT Protest march to the Business Park / PCC Depot? and Glyn Davies MP speaks to the crowd. ABERMULE COMMUNITIES TOGETHER TAKING OUR PROTEST TO COUNTY HALL We are organising a coach to County Hall, Llandrindod Wells on Thursday 18th October. It will be an early start otherwise consider sharing Friday 26th October 7.30pm transport.

Llanllwchaiarn
Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust Historic Settlement Survey - Montgomeryshire Llanllwchaiarn SO 1239 9254 15725 Introduction Llanllwchaiarn lies beside the B4568, some 2km north-east of Newtown. The meandering River Severn, just below Newtown, curves around a spur projecting from the upland slopes. Rock Farm utilises this spur, and the church lies behind it, a small stream creating a shallow valley on the eastern edge of the churchyard. Northwards, the ground rises steadily into the hills. The settlement is currently undergoing rapid change. Opposite the church on the north side of the road to Newtown, a housing estate has sprung up, entirely altering the character of this small historic settlement. This brief report examines Llanllwchaiarn’s emergence and development up to 1750. For the more recent history of the settlement, it will be necessary to look at other sources of information and particularly at the origins and nature of the buildings within it. The accompanying map is offered as an indicative guide to the historic settlement. The continuous line defining the historic core offers a visual interpretation of the area within which the settlement developed, based on our interpretation of the evidence currently to hand. It is not an immutable boundary line, and may need to be modified as new discoveries are made. The map does not show those areas or buildings that are statutorily designated, nor does it pick out those sites or features that are specifically mentioned in the text. We have not referenced the sources that have been examined to produce this report, but that information will be available in the Historic Environment Record (HER) maintained by the Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust.
