(City & County of Swansea Unitary Development Plan 2008). Policy HC7 Proposals for extensions and alterations to existing residential dwellings will be assess in terms of; relationship to the existing dwelling, impact on the character and appearance of the streetscene, effect on neighbouring properties, and impact on car parking.

The content of the correspondence is summarised below: 1. We will lose all privacy as three bedroom windows (proposed) will be overlooking two of our bedrooms, kitchen, lounge and garden, the bungalow was built very close to our boundary. 2. The present bungalow foundations are already about 6-7ft above our garden, this would make the proposed house about 30-35ft high overlooking our house and garden. 3. The proposed increase in ridge height will have a detrimental visual impact on the area 4. The height would also affect the amount of light entering our house and garden, we would be in deep shadow of the proposed modifications as we are already in the shadow of the bungalow. 5. The plans submitted do not blend well with neighbouring houses which were built around 1930. 6. The increase by a complete storey is unacceptable it would raise the roof well above the general roof line of the houses downhill from No34a 7. The bedroom windows will overlook our garden and main habitable rooms. 8. The rear wall of the proposed development is 1.0 metres away from our common boundary 9. The proposed house is totally out of character with neighbouring 1930’s properties. 10. The existing bungalow is well screened. 11. You have granted outline planning permission for infill development on the land behind us 12. The council awarded itself planning permission for a school that is not in keeping with the overall character of the area. 13. The retaining works between the application site and No.1 Grange Road are cracking and in need of repair. 14. The proposal will reduce light levels to my hall and side living room window. The signatories to the petition signed in respect of the following statement. AREA 2 DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE – 16TH MARCH 2010 ITEM 2 (CONT’D) APPLICATION NO. 2009/1731 “We the under signed wish to object to the proposal on the grounds on its adverse visual impact on the area, loss of privacy to surrounding properties and requires the removal of mature trees and shrubs.” Further to the receipt of amended plans a re-consultation exercise was undertaken and the following comments were received from previous objectors: 1. Our observations remain the same and the petition still stands. 2. The only material change is that the ridge height is slightly lower and the dormer windows are now skylights. 3. The proposed development would have a detrimental visual impact on the area. 4. We notified you that the developer was removing a hedge and trees in spite of a planning Condition. We are extremely disappointed by your department’s failure to act or check the facts. 5. The elevation facing my garden would be a large rectangle of artificial slate and skylights for 45% of my boundary. 6. My previous objections stand in respect of the proposed scheme. 7. The development of the house from my back garden will be unacceptably overbearing and will still result in a loss of privacy. 8. My property will be in ever increasing shadow. 9. The modest alterations to the proposal do not alter the fact that the new property will still be significantly visible from West Cross Lane. 10. It was previously determined that the residential impact would be significant and unacceptably overbearing and have an overshadowing impact on neighbours.

Golyga ei ddaeareg fod ynddo amrywiaeth ysblennydd o olygfeydd o fewn ardal gymharol fechan, o olygfeydd carreg galch Pen Pyrrod, Three Cliffs Bay ac Oxwich Bay yng nglannau’r de i halwyndiroedd a thwyni tywod y gogledd. Mae trumiau tywodfaen yn nodweddu asgwrn cefn y penrhyn, gan gynnwys y man uchaf, Cefn Bryn: a cheir yno diroedd comin eang. Canlyniad y golygfeydd eithriadol a’r traethau tywodlyd, euraidd wrth droed y clogwyni yw bod yr ardal yn denu ymwelwyr yn eu miloedd. Gall y priffyrdd fod yn brysur, wrth i bobl heidio at y traethau mwyaf golygfaol. Mae pwysau twristiaeth wedi newid y cymeriad diwylliannol.

Yn rhai mannau mae’r hen batrymau caeau lleiniog yn parhau, gyda thirwedd “Vile” Rhosili yn oroesiad eithriadol. Ar lannau mwy agored y gorllewin, ac ar dir uwch, mae traddodiad cloddiau pridd a charreg yn parhau, sy’n nodweddiadol o ardaloedd lle bo coed yn brin.

  • Marine Character Areas MCA 25 GOWER & HELWICK COASTAL
    Marine Character Areas MCA 25 GOWER & HELWICK COASTAL WATERS Location and boundaries This Marine Character Area (MCA) comprises the coastal waters surrounding the western and southern Gower peninsula, stretching from Burry Holms in the north to The Mumbles in the east (MCA 26). Landward boundary extends from Burry Holms tidal island (at the southern estuary mouth of the Loughor) around to Limeslade Bay on the edge of The Mumbles. Western offshore extent takes in the majority of the Helwick Channel and includes all of East and West Helwick sandbank, including the associated navigation marks. Western offshore boundary partially consistent with the edge of Pembrokeshire local Seascape Character Area 42: Carmarthen Bay. Southern boundary with MCA 28: Bristol Channel reflects the transition to the moderate/high wave energy environment associated with the Channel. www.naturalresourceswales.gov.uk MCA 25 Gower & Helwick Coastal Waters - Page 1 of 9 Key Characteristics Key Characteristics Rugged coastline of cliffs and sandy bays backed by elevated land at Rhossili Down, Llanmadoc Hill and the prominent Cefn Bryn ridge (180m AOD). Worms Head forms a thin, strangely profiled peninsula at low tide, becoming an island at high tide. Combined with the tidal Burry Holmes island to the north, these form dramatic coastal features framing Rhossili Bay. Coastline displaying cliffs of Carboniferous limestone, with an inlier of Old Red Sandstone outcropping at Rhossili Bay and southern bays carved into softer shales. Cliffs traversed by faults and folds, with evidence for past glacial activity in the form of raised beaches and cliffs. The coastal geomorphology is of national importance.
