Location: Land rear of Greystones, Ffrwd Road, Cefn-y-Bedd. The Chair invited the public to speak on the planning application. One person spoke on behalf of the residents present. Those present object strongly to the application and are looking for the support of Llanfynydd C.C The following concerns put forward:- 1. The construction of the bungalows is at the front of ‘Greystones’ not the rear as stated in the planning application. 2. Question 11 as stated in the planning application:- Does the area flood? Yes the area does flood as there is a Stream close by that floods onto the Ffrwd road. 3. If two smaller bungalows were to be built they would not have such an impact. The new application are plans for two enormous bungalows, covering the whole of the area. 4. The application is for two 2 bedroomed bungalows why the need for a 4 bay garage, there is concern the oversize footprint could be used for future development. 5.

The planning application put forward shows the proposed dwellings being built right up to the front of Greystones. 6. Concern of roof water etc – where will it all go? 7.

MINUTES OF THE MEETING – 16th September, 2019 The Minutes were adopted as a true and correct record Proposed : Cllr. A. Partridge Seconded: Cllr. J. Jones 7a. Matters raised from the minutes No matters arising from the minutes 8. MR CHRIS TURNER – B.Sc.(Hons) Landscape and Amenity Management (Horticulture) Mr Turner was not on the Agenda for this evenings meeting but at the Chairs discretion was invited to speak. The Chair welcomed Mr Turner to the meeting this evening to briefly talk about Ffrith playing field and how the area is managed. Correspondence had been received from Mr Turner with reference to Ffrith playing field in which LCC had acknowledged and discussed in the September meeting. Mr Turner introduced himself – he has been working in Landscape and Amenity Management (Horticulture) for the last 35 years. Mr Turner proposed the following: 1. The current level of grass maintenance is unnecessary and leaves areas of very little value to wildlife, cutting could be reduced by 50% and establishing long grass areas. 2. Planting a community orchard – Members stated that LCC are only the Trustees of the site and are governed by what has been put in place to keep the site as an ‘Open Recreational Green Space Area’. Fields in Trust would need to be advised of any changes to the site and have stated in previous correspondence they are not keen on wooded areas. 3. It could be opened to a wider area of people, with further ongoing developments to turn the greenspace into a more wildlife and user-friendly site that meets the needs of the community practically. LCC did state that a footpath around the site has been under discussion to give the public a wider use of the area and making it more accessible for wheelchair users and pushchairs, also older people would benefit. This will be looked at again in the near future. The Chair put to Mr Turner if he could make a plan of his aspirations for the site for the Council to look at. The Chair and members thanked Mr Turner for attending this evening and for his very interesting proposals for the site and look forward to receiving a plan. 9.

MATCH FUNDING SCHEME – IMPROVEMENTS TO CHILDREN’S PLAY AREA FFRITH Cllrs. G. Lowndes and L. Williams met with Mr Richard Roberts on site to discuss the final play proposals. The Zip line does not require too much groundwork, cheaper options were discussed in which the grass grids for the Toddlers small multi-play (climbing frame with slide) would work fine. There is a need to consult Cadw with regard to the Installation works. The cost for Cadw supervision would need to be found as part of the scheme. Option 2 is within the £20k budget and the cost for Cadw supervision could hopefully be recovered within the £20k budget, Mr Roberts is to contact Cadw to gauge what they would require. Option 1with the wetpore option would be over budget plus Cadw supervision. Cllr. A. Partridge proposed for the Option 2 scheme to go ahead. Seconded: Cllr. B. Rhodes Motion carried. Cymau – Matchfunding 2020 Cllrs. A. Partridge, L. Williams & G. Lowndes Mr Roberts had kindly stated that the play areas are some of the best in the council area.
