Introduction 1.0.1 This document is the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) Report, consisting of the joint Sustainability Appraisal (SA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), of Carmarthenshire Council’s Deposit Revised Local Development Plan (rLDP).The SA/SEA is a combined process which meets both the regulatory requirements for SEA and SA. The revised Carmarthenshire Local Development Plan is a land use plan which outlines the location and quantity of development within Carmarthenshire for a 15 year period. 1.0.2 The purpose of the SA is to identify any likely significant economic, environmental and social effects of the LDP, and to suggest relevant mitigation measures. This process integrates sustainability considerations into all stages of LDP preparation, and promotes sustainable development. This fosters a more inclusive and transparent process of producing a LDP, and helps to ensure that the LDP is integrated with other policies. This combined process is hereafter referred to as the SA. This Report accompanies, and should be read in conjunction with, the Deposit LDP. 1.0.3 The geographical scope of this assessment covers the whole of the County of Carmarthenshire, however also considers cross-boundary effects with the neighbouring local authorities of Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Swansea. The LDP is intended to apply until 2033 following its publication. This timescale has been reflected in the SA. 1.1 Legislative Requirements 1.1.1 The completion of an SA is a statutory requirement for Local Development Plans under Section 62(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 20041, the Town and Country Planning (LDP) (Wales) Regulations 20052 and associated guidance. 1.1.2 The European SEA Directive 20013 has been transposed into law in Wales by The Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes (Wales) Regulations 20044 (the Regulations) which sets out a mandatory requirement to carry out SEA on all development plans. The Directive sets out a legal assessment process that must be followed. Welsh Government Guidance on the Preparation of Local Development Plans identifies that a Sustainability Appraisal must integrate the requirements of the Strategic Environmental Assessment Regulations. 1.1.3 The SA process considers how the four components of sustainable development (economic, social well-being, environmental protection/enhancement and resource conservation) are integrated into a plan. The SEA process focuses solely on the environmental impacts of a plan, including the built environment and the effect on local populations and health. 1.1.4 Planning Policy Wales5 (PPW) stresses the presumption in favour of sustainable development and that LPAs should ensure that the plan and proposals deliver sustainable development. The SA is an integral part of good plan making and is an iterative process, which identifies and reports on significant effects of the Plan and demonstrates that the LDP is sound by ensuring that it reflects sustainable development objectives. It thereby contributes to the reasoned justification of policies. 1 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/5/contents 2 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/wsi/2005/2839/contents/made 3 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32001L0042 4 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/wsi/2004/1656/made 5 https://gov.wales/planning-policy-wales

  • Llanddowror to Salt Lake City; the Isaac Pioneers
    Llanddowror to Salt Lake City; The Isaac Pioneers uring the uprising in west Wales in the early decades of the 19th century, the DToll Gate in the village of Trevaughan [Trefechan], in Cyffig parish, across the river Taf south of Whitland received particular attention from Rebecca and her daughters. They demolished the Toll Gate and its replacements, four times between November 1842 and April 1843 ! Rees Isaac [1796-1868], his wife Margaret [née Phillips][1795-1869] and their five sons and one daughter lived right by the Toll Gate in a house called Bridge End. Rees was a Stone Mason as was his eldest son while his second son, nineteen year old Benjamin, was an apprentice learning the same trade. Were they also members of Rebecca’s family ? Their cousin and my wife’s great great grand-father, twenty three year old Thomas Isaac was a farm labourer in nearby Llangan parish and was very likely to have been one of Rebecca’s daughters. As tradesmen, the Isaacs of Trevaughan would have been less af- fected by the Tolls than the lime-carting farmers. But at the same time any dis- inclination on their part to support the uprising would have been countered by Rebecca’s threats of retribution. Be that as it may, it is undoubtedly true that oppression of the ordinary people by landowners, magistrates and other ruling cliques in 19th century Wales, not only caused the Rebecca uprising, but also turned people to religion for their hope of a better life. And they went about it with extraordinary vigour: a new chapel opened its doors every eight days; a building programme that lasted for the first half of the 19th century ! 36 The grey boxes provided a platform for “big” preachers to deliver their thundering message which, in fact, brought scant relief for their oppressed flock who were told to accept their lot in this world for the promise of better in the “world to come”.
