  • Application No. P2020/0362
    SECTION A – MATTERS FOR DECISION Planning Applications Recommended For Approval APPLICATION NO: P2020/0362 DATE: 22/05/2020 PROPOSAL: Construction of complementary restoration earthworks to create 2 looped landform platforms (part in cutting and part on embankment) with associated drainage infrastructure and areas of landscaping and habitat creation to create a flexible and adaptable area of land that could be used for a variety of uses including agriculture, nature conservation, leisure, tourism and industrial, research and development/business uses (potentially including a proposed rail testing, research and development and storage facility). (Cross-boundary application - see Powys CC Application ref. 20/0738/FUL) LOCATION: Land at and surrounding the Nant Helen Open Cast Coal Site, Powys, and Onllwyn Distribution Centre, Neath Port Talbot APPLICANT: Mr Rob Thompson, Celtic Energy Ltd, TYPE: Full Plans WARD: Onllwyn (also affecting Seven Sisters) BACKGROUND INFORMATION This proposal relates to a significant development site within the Dulais Valley which straddles the Neath Port Talbot and Powys administrative border. The site is largely within Powys but sections along the southern boundary are within Neath Port Talbot. Therefore, an identical application has been made to Powys CC, which is to be reported to PCC’s Planning, Taxi Licensing and Rights of Way Committee on 27th July 2020 (the outcome of which will be verbally reported to Members at Committee). While this report largely seeks to address only those matters which affect the land within the administrative boundary of Neath Port Talbot, due to the size of the development and the complexities associated with such a cross-boundary application, notably the assessment of the ‘planning balance’, the report also inevitably incorporates overarching assessments of impact which relate to the whole development and thus to both NPT and Powys (and the Brecon Beacons National Park beyond).

  • 1 Summer 2007
    Wheelrights the Swansea Bay cycle campaign group Newsletter No. 1 Summer 2007 www.wheelrights.org.uk Fabian Way is bridged The photo (taken on 22 July) shows the new bus and cycle path bridge being lifted into position. It replaces the old “Sidings” Bridge which used to take NCN 4 across Fabian Way. The new cycle path will be alongside and separate from the bus lane. This will be a cable- stayed structure not unlike the Sail Bridge across the River Tawe. When opened it will link the new section of path to Swansea with the existing NCN 4 to the east. Swansea Bay Strategy Wheelrights have contributed to the consultation on this proposal for a major new development in Swansea Bay. We are not happy with what is proposed. While we support planned improved amenities and the proposal to widen the foreshore path for the benefit of cyclists and pedestrians we are against a plan to increase parking in Mumbles — we believe it is contrary to the Council’s sustainability policies — and we do not want a bridge at Blackpill. We do however think that there is a case for a cycle/pedestrian bridge across the Mumbles Road 150m west of Brynmill Lane. For our reasons visit our website where you will find our Contents written response on the “Various” page. Also there you P. 1 Fabian Way is bridged. will find Sustrans response and it is encouraging that P. 1 Swansea Bay Strategy. they also are concerned about the increased parking P. 1 Why a newsletter? and do not want a bridge at Blackpill.

  • Riverside Park Near Pontardawe Start/Finish: Sail Bridge Distance: 20 Miles
    Ride: Riverside Park near Pontardawe Start/Finish: Sail Bridge Distance: 20 miles. Terrain: Flat Map: Swansea A-Z. This ride takes you up the new section of National Cycle Route 43 south of the M4. There were diversions past this section for some two years while a new embankment to alleviate flooding was constructed. It was opened in April 2014. From the Sail Bridge follow NCR 43 up the east side of the Tawe to Morfa and then across the river past the Liberty Stadium. The path here has recently been improved. Don't cross the Mannesman Bridge but continue north to the new Beaufort Bridge. The shared use path alongside Beaufort Road has also been upgraded and is no longer bumpy like it used to be. The renovated section of NCR 43 starts on the east side of the Beaufort Bridge and takes you to the motorway. The route from the Liberty Stadium to the M4 is now (2014) a model of what a cycle route should be. Continue under the motorway, under the A4067 and along the new (2012) path which crosses the Afon Tawe Bridge (pictured) reaching the canal at Clydach. It then crosses the B4603. Take care here as the marked crossing is below par. (Hopefully it will be improved in 2015.) Next, the route passes through the "Depot". There are plans to make this into a garden. Continue north-east along the canal to Pontardawe. Here you enter a park at the end of a cul- de-sac where the route bears right and then left along the river.

  • Things to Do in Swansea—A CA Tourist Guide
    Things to do in Swansea—a CA tourist guide Please see the Visit Swansea Bay website at https://www.visitswanseabay.com for further information to help plan your stay. On the campuses: - On Singleton Campus, we recommend our in-house museum, the Egypt Centre, with a collection of ancient objects originally amassed by Sir Henry Wellcome. It is not usually open Sunday or Monday, but for the conference it will be opened specially on Monday 20 April. Hours are 10:00–16:00. Handling sessions of objects from the Egypt Centre will also be held for delegates during registration on Friday from 13:00. - In Fulton House on Singleton Campus, a Costcutter will be open during the conference should you want to self-cater; the student bar, JC’s will also be open. Further along Mumbles Road near Singleton Hospital is the Pub on the Pond, a Greene King establishment. - On Bay Campus, Tafarn Tawe (the Union Bar) will be open during the conference, as will the local Tesco Express and the bar in the Great Hall. In Swansea: - The ruins of Swansea Castle are worth stopping by on your way to Wind (pronounced like ‘wine’) Street, which boasts historical buildings and is the main entertainment district. Good restaurants here include The Star Chinese Restaurant, the Hanson at the Chelsea, and La Braseria. The most congenial pub is No Sign bar, frequented—like many Swansea establishments—by Dylan Thomas. Good bars include Brewdog, Prohibition, Flickering Light, Old Havana and Juniper Place (both on Oystermouth Road), and No. 6 (opposite the Travelodge).
