Site The application site is an area of highway verge opposite two dwellings known as Dolgarreg and Bwlchagored, south-west of Llangadog Common, Carregsawdde. The road fronting the application site is the unclassified 4502 road that ends at Devanah farm and Dolau farm, Llangadog. The proposed site is approximately 60 metres west along the aforementioned highway from the previously approved siting for the passing bay. Proposal The application is for the amended siting of a highway passing bay that is required by planning conditions 2 and 13 of planning permission E/33695 for a free range poultry unit at Godre Garreg farm, Llangadog, which required the passing bay, measuring 15m x 5.5m, to be provided prior to the commencement of the use of the poultry unit. The proposed passing bay will be increased to 20 metres in length and 2.7 metres in width, tapering at each end into the highway and as the business is now in operation will now be considered as a proposal following the commencement of the use of the poultry unit at the farm i.e. any permission granted shall require the provision of the passing bay within a set period. Condition 1 below refers to the passing bay having to be provided within 3 months.

Any amendment or alteration of an existing public highway in connection with a new development shall be undertaken under a Section 278 Agreement of the Highways Act 1980. It is the responsibility of the developer to request the Local Highway Authority to proceed with this agreement and the developer is advised that the total costs of entering into such an agreement, as well as the costs of undertaking any physical works on site, shall be met by him. Local Member(s) - Councillor A James has declared an interest in the application. Llangadog Community Council - No comments received to date. Summary of Public Representations The application was the subject of notification by way of a site notice. Nine representations were received objecting to the proposal, and the matters raised are summarised as follows:- There is doubt that the land is owned by the Council. Residents at the dwelling “Bwlchagored” park at the proposed site of the passing bay and will prevent the use of the passing bay. The need for the passing bay at the revised location is questioned. There are highways safety concerns regarding the revised siting of the passing bay. Page 10 The passing bay at this location will cause a noise problem for local residents. The provision of the passing bay removes the ability for pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders to escape from the road. The verge is an important area of ecology. The construction of the poultry unit before the provision of the passing bay is unacceptable. All representations can be viewed in full on the Authority’s website. Appraisal Principle of Development The application is submitted in order to consider a revised location for a passing bay required by conditions 2 and 13 of the Full planning permission E/33695 for a free range poultry unit at Godre Garreg farm. Whilst the application was submitted to consider the revised siting of the passing bay, with an increase in the length of the passing bay to that approved within the poultry unit application E/33695, it now also requires the provision of the passing bay after the commencement of the use of the poultry unit at the farm. From an enforcement investigation, the Local Planning Authority is aware that the poultry unit is up and running and therefore it needs to be determined whether it is acceptable that the proposed passing bay is provided following the commencement of the operation of the poultry unit. Impact upon Character and Appearance of the Area The passing bay was a requirement of planning permission E/33695 and it falls to be considered whether the revised location away from Llangadog Common is appropriate. It is considered that the siting of the passing bay opposite to two dwellings will not have any significant harm to the character and appearance of the locality. Highway Impacts As noted in the summary of consultations, the Head of Transport having duly considered the highway safety implications of the revised location of the passing bay offers no objection to the proposal. Response to the Issues of Objection Received There is doubt that the land is owned by the Council The land has been confirmed by the Highways section as highway verge and any works will require a Section 278 Agreement of the Highways Act 1980 from the Local Authority. Residents at the dwelling “Bwlchagored” park at the proposed site of the passing bay and will prevent the use of the passing bay Bwlchagored has appropriate parking provision within the residential curtilage and there will be no apparent necessity to park on the highway or highway verge.
