References to Inquiry documentation are given in the brackets that follow each section of the report. The draft Line Order would be made under Sections 10 and 12 of the Highways Act 1980 and is known as: THE SWANSEA TO MANCHESTER TRUNK ROAD (A483) AND THE NEWTOWN TO ABERYSTWYTH TRUNK ROAD (A489) (NEWTOWN BYPASS AND DETRUNKING) ORDER 201- (DD001). The draft Side Roads Order would be made under Sections 12, 14, 125 and 268 of the Highways Act 1980 and is known as: THE SWANSEA TO MANCHESTER TRUNK ROAD (A483) AND THE NEWTOWN TO ABERYSTWYTH TRUNK ROAD (A489) (NEWTOWN BYPASS SIDE ROADS) ORDER 201- (DD002). The draft Compulsory Purchase Order would be made under Sections 239, 240, 246, 250, and 260 of the Highways Act 1980 and under Section 2 and paragraphs 1(1)(b), (3) and (4) of Part 1 of Schedule 2 to the Acquisition of Land Act 1981 and is known as: THE WELSH MINISTERS (THE SWANSEA TO MANCHESTER TRUNK ROAD (A483) AND THE NEWTOWN TO ABERYSTWYTH TRUNK ROAD (A489) NEWTOWN BYPASS) COMPULSORY PURCHASE ORDER 201 - (DD003). The draft Line Order and draft Side Roads Order (SRO) were published on 28 November 2014 and the objection period ended on 23 January 2015. The draft Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) was published on 9 January 2015 and the objection period ended on 30 January 2015 (ID2, DD010, DD011, DD013, DD014). The scheme was subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment, in accordance with Section 105A of Part V of the Highways Act 1980 (as amended) and EC Directive 2011/92/EU (DD016). An Environmental Statement (ES), a Non-Technical Summary of the ES and a Statement to Inform an Appropriate Assessment (SIAA) were published on 28 November 2014. The periods for comment on those documents ended on 23 January 2015 (DD004-DD009, DD012, DD018). The Orders, if made, would authorise the Minister, acting on behalf of the Welsh Government, to construct the Newtown Bypass and transfer responsibility for lengths of the A483 and A489 that currently pass through the town as trunk roads, to Powys County Council. 4 Report: APP/T6850/15/516057 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS I recommend that the draft Line Order be made. I recommend that the draft Side Roads Order be modified and, as modified, be made. I recommend that the draft Compulsory Purchase Order be modified and, as modified, be made. 5 Report: APP/T6850/15/516057 1 PREAMBLE 1.1 I was appointed by the Minister for Economy, Science and Transport, one of the Welsh Ministers, pursuant to Paragraph 7 of Schedule 1 of the Highways Act 1980 and Schedule 13 (2) of the Acquisition of Land Act 1981, to conduct concurrent Public Local Inquiries into the above draft Orders and to report to the Welsh Ministers. For ease of reference I shall refer to the concurrent Public Local Inquiries as “the Inquiry” in this report (DD019, DD020, DD201, DD202, DD203, DD204). 1.2 I held a Pre-Inquiry meeting at the Elephant and Castle Hotel, Broad Street, Newtown on 30 April 2015. A note of the meeting was sent to all persons who had registered at the meeting or had made objection or representation about the draft Orders. The note is at Inquiry Document 1 (ID1) (DD019). 1.3 I also held the Inquiry at the Elephant and Castle Hotel, Broad Street, Newtown, over 12 days between 25 June 2015 and 15 July 2015. In the order of 250 members of the public attended the Inquiry (DDO19, DD020). 1.4 I undertook an unaccompanied site inspection on 24 June 2015 and two targeted and accompanied site inspections on 16 and 17 July 2015. 1.5 There were 78 objections and 7 representations submitted before the end of the Inquiry. All were considered. At the end of the Inquiry 72 objections remained unsatisfied. The Welsh Government received 133 expressions of support for the principle of the scheme. 1.6 Five alternatives to the scheme were advanced by objectors for consideration before the start of the Inquiry and in accordance with the programming stipulation for such alternatives set at the Pre-Inquiry meeting. The Welsh Government developed these into realistic engineering proposals during the early days of the Inquiry. All received some support from members of the public and counter-objection from interested individuals, companies or authorities. 1.7 Seven witnesses gave evidence at the Inquiry on behalf of the Welsh Government. Six supporters and 26 objectors appeared at the Inquiry or were represented. Three counter-objector to 3 of the alternative proposals appeared. 1.8 At the end of the objection period the main grounds for objection to the draft Orders were: the scheme is not justifiable, it would not offer value for money and would adversely affect businesses there are two better alternative routes for the bypass that would utilise the Mochdre Industrial Estate access road corridor, thereby removing the threat of the scheme on the Mochdre Bridge area at its eastern end the scheme should be moved eastwards away 6 Report: APP/T6850/15/516057 from dwellings, thereby avoiding the demolition of residential and agricultural buildings the proposed Dolfor Road roundabout, the associated industrial estate access and attenuation pond should be removed from the scheme the severe effect on Black Hall Farm justifies a redesign of the proposals to reduce those effects at Lower Brimmon the carriageway should be moved northwards to avoid a veteran oak tree, an established pond and the proximity of the farmhouse the harmful effects on the Glandulas Holiday Caravan Park east of Wern Ddu Lane the proposed westbound carriageway lay- by would threaten security and privacy the scheme would damage farms and agriculture and there would be insufficient agricultural crossings over or under the road the roundabouts would not cater adequately for cyclists the attenuation ponds would be inappropriately positioned the significant earthworks would cause a scar across the attractive rural landscape to the south of Newtown the scheme would introduce traffic noise and visual intrusion into the relatively quiet countryside and fine landscape and would affect the human rights of individuals too much land is included in the CPO and this could be reduced by the removal of some areas intended for landscape mitigation and for the proposed 2+1 carriageway relative to a less wide single 2-lane carriageway which should suffice there have been insufficient guarantees that water supplies would be maintained to dwellings and farms and mains should be protected where they would pass beneath the embankments. 1.9 The Welsh Government confirmed that all the Statutory Procedures had been properly completed before the start of the Inquiry (WGO1/B, ID2).

  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M43 - NEWTOWN AND LLANLLWCHAIARN Introduction 1. Newtown is the largest settlement in Powys and has the range of community services and facilities that should be associated with such a settlement. It has the third highest precepting council in the county: a council that has retained a considerable sense of civic pride - deriving from the former urban district of the same name - in its activities. 2. The community has a population of 10,873, an electorate of 8,238 (2005) and a council of 16 members. The community is warded: Llanllwchaiarn North with 1,664 electors and three councillors; Llanllwchaiarn West with 1,433 and three; Newtown Central with 2,300 and three; Newtown East with 1,572 and three, and Newtown South with 1,269 and four. The precept required for 2005 is £132,785, representing a Council Tax Band D equivalent of £35.01. 3. Apart from a transfer of the area around Aberbechan Hall to the new Abermule ward of Llandyssil community, the boundaries of this community were not significantly affected by the 1986 Review. Recent development, together with its designation as a small village in the Unitary Development Plan, has meant that the small village of Aberbechan now straddles the community boundary with Llandyssil, a point to which we shall return. 4. In the 1986 Review, it was proposed and generally accepted that the community should be divided into five wards, and the final proposals of the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales were that each ward should have an allocation of three councillors.

  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M21 - LLANDYSSIL Introduction 1. The community of Llandyssil took its current form in the 1986 Review, when a warded community comprising the new village of Abermule and the historical village of Llandyssil was created from the former communities of Llandyssil, Llanmerewig and parts of the former Newtown and Bettws communities. The topography of the community is defined by the valley of the river Severn, the road and rail routes that follow its course, and the hills and tributary valleys leading away from it. Settlement in this community is defined in particular by the routes that lead to the A483 and Newtown. Both Abermule and Llandyssil have seen a significant amount of development in recent years. Abermule is classified as a key settlment in the Unitary Development Plan, benefiting from a good range of community services and infrastructure and having the capacity to accommodate additional development. Llandyssil is classified as a small village, having some community services and facilities, but being served by access roads that are not of the highest quality. The small village of Aberbechan, with its limited community services and facilities, straddles the community boundary with Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn, a point to which we shall return. The remainder of the population lives in scattered farms and dwellings and in the small rural settlements of Green Lane and Llanmerewig. 2. The community has a population of 1,218, an electorate of 1,004 (2005) and a council of 10 members. The community is warded: Abermule with 599 electors and five councillors; Llandyssil with 405 and five.

About 4 years ago a young man was clocked doing 125mph up in North AGM 3 Wales; 6 hours later he was killed on the A55. It transpired that he had neither a licence nor insurance and the bike had false number plates. Vacancies 3 This, of course, was an extreme case but it highlights a very serious New members 3 problem, so it’s very encouraging to know that the fastest growing area of IAM is the motorcycle section. MWAM is playing its part too – the success of Off Road Driving 3 our new initiative under the leadership of Sean Miles has already been reported. Already he has 5 new associates and all the training places have Associate Course Dates 3 been taken up for 2007. All three of Sean’s first associates are training to be observers. Your Committee 4 A remarkable beginning with lots of promise for the future!

JL 222/064 THE MONTGOMERYSHIRE PEDIGREES, THE "VISITATIONS OF WALES", by LEWIS DWNN. The project, commenced in 1884, for printing these pedigrees for the use of the Members of the Powys-land Club is now carried out. The high authority of Lewis Dwnn's Visitations, and the extreme rarity and costliness of the work in which they were first printed by the Welsh Manuscript Society in 1846, rendered it desirable that the Montgomeryshire portion of such Visitations should be placed in the hands of the Members. This has been done, with- out extra cost, as part of the publications of the Club. One hundred extra copies have been printed before the type was distributed, which are intended to be offered to Members of the Club in the first instance. Any not taken by them will be offered for sale to the public. INTRODUCTION.
