Officers made a presentation to the Planning Committee on this Application (Two detached dwellings and associated works at land at Clos Llwynallt, Alltwen Pontardawe, Swansea SA8 3JG) as detailed in the circulated report.

The agent for the applicant made representations in favour of the application.

RESOLVED:        That in accordance with Officers’ recommendations, Application No. P2018/0008 be refused on the following grounds: 

  Reason:

                              In the absence of the required off-site highway improvement works, the proposed new dwellings would introduce additional movements on a substandard access and highway which would adversely affect both vehicular and pedestrian safety, contrary to the requirements of Policies BE1 and TR2 of the Local Development Plan.
