Land Left Of 10 Nantyffin Road Swansea Enterprise Park Swansea SA7 9RD

1. 1.The application has failed to demonstrate, through the submission of appropriate ecological information, including a Preliminary Ecological Appraisal, that the scheme would not have a harmful impact upon protected species or habitats of ecological interest. The proposal is therefore contrary PS2, ER8 and ER9 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025) and the Council's Supplementary Planning Guidance entitled 'Biodiversity and Development' (adopted February 2021).
2. 2.The proposal, by virtue of the lack of a Green Infrastructure Statement fails to demonstrate that the proposed development would adequately contribute to the sustainable management of natural resources and that it would adequately protect, maintain and enhance biodiversity and the resilience of ecosystems and mitigate any loss of existing vegetation and wildlife habitats to provide a net-benefit to biodiversity. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Future Wales Policy 9, Chapter 6 of Planning Policy Wales, and Policies PS2, ER2 and ER9 of the Swansea Local Development Plan 2010-2025.
3. 3.It has not been demonstrated that the proposed new vehicle access serving the proposed dwellings would provide for suitable visibility or that cars can enter and leave the site in a forward gear. This, combined with the substandard width of the proposed access onto a busy section of road, would be detrimental to highway safety and the free flow of traffic, contrary to Policies PS2, T1 and T5 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025).
4. 4.The proposed development would be located within the protection zone of a public combined sewer that crosses the site. The application has not demonstrated that the proposed development would not have an adverse impact upon this important infrastructure and would therefore be contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025).
5. 5.The applicant has not demonstrated, through the submission of an appropriate Drainage Statement, that the proposed development is capable of appropriately integrating SuDS into the scheme in order to demonstrate that surface water can be appropriately and sustainably managed at the site and to avoid surface water flooding impacts to the property and third party land. The development would therefore be contrary to Technical Advice Note 15: Development, Flooding and Coastal Erosion and contrary to Policies RP4 and RP5 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2010-2025).
