					<description><![CDATA[Analysis of the Shropshire Planning Preferred Site - Pant PYC021
The proposed high density housing estate development proposed for the land between the A483 and
Penygarreg Lane and the substantial deviation from the established development boundary must be
rejected. This development is unacceptable because it is inconsistent with the character of the village
and will completely change the rural nature of both Llanymynech and Pant for residents and the
thousands of people who travel along this major highway. Careful studies of other recent developments
demonstrate that aesthetics are compromised by the economic pressure to squeeze as many homes
into woefully inadequate spaces. As is clearly obvious in Telford, these densely packed containers for
humanity quickly lose their fresh façade in the reality of 3-4 people living with dogs and children in close
proximity.
A housing development of the density proposed will attract a demographic, necessarily working, sharing
similar daily commuting habits. In Pant, 45 new houses with two working people, most attempting to
cross over to the north carriageway of one of the most dangerous roads in the country will be a sure
recipe for disaster. As the closest work opportunities are in the Oswestry direction and the school for
the children of these typically younger families is to the south, there will be a doubling of traffic through
the village making the school run. It is extremely unlikely that residents will risk walking the narrow
pavements to school with children. Studies of other developments appended to established rural
villages demonstrate a negligent attitude to transportation and parking realities with narrow access
roads clogged with too many cars. This creates a significant hazard for young children and emergency
vehicles. The highways department is clearly concerned in their guarded acceptance of a single access
point to the A483 and their fundamental assumption of “limited to a few homes”]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I’m sure there are more suitable sites for building in pant as an alternative to the land on Pennygarreg Lane, the access is far to dangerous  to access and exit and will only be made  worse with extra traffic,  development along side the A483 is the same.

I would say there are more suitable sites on the left hand side as you exit pant towards Llanymynech, they would be built on lower ground and not so much impact on the landscape of the village being more tucked away.

I think the infrastructure to underpin the village needs to be looked into before any planning decisions can be made, as the school is full, the local amenities are not adequate therefore people are travelling to town and this has a bigger inpact on the carbon footprint.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Shropshire Local Plan Review Nov 2018


The preferred site allocation PYC021 and development boundary shown in the review documents are inconsistent. Specifically:
1. Para 17.46 p148 The map only shows the Western part of PYC021, not the Eastern part off Penygarreg Lane. 
2. Para 17.47 p149 The site area in the table is 1.89ha. Careful measurement of the two land areas in the &quot;Long Term Potential SLAA Residential Sites&quot; show the actual sizes to be: Western 0.95ha, Eastern 0.84ha. However, from actual satellite images on accurate geometric maps, the area clear of trees and hedges is actually: Western 0.71ha and Eastern 0.75ha. The land slopes significantly at the south end and near the trees which reduces this another 0.1ha leaving a practical 1.36ha. The shape of the narrow strip near the A483 will also reduce the capacity of housing assumed.
3. The development boundary change is inaccurate only showing the western proposed change.]]></description>

Certainly no large developments until the Pant Bypass is in place. As a village we have an obligation to meet some of the demands for small development to handle population growth. BUT no developments that will change the character of our English country villages for ever. Why do so many New Residents choose Pant?. Has it something to do with the rural area and Character of our village ?.

I have read through 100.s of pages of the Local Plan Reviews and found and scanned the Identity page and the LLanymynech and Pant Questions Submission pages that can be emailed to anyone that needs them to make their comments before February 8th 2019.]]></description>

The consultation documentation is so large and complex, residents will try to understand and give up responding to the questions for the village.

I have submitted my responses and would have liked to attached them to this response if I knew how.

Out of the massed of documentation all you need is pages 1 for identity and page 7 and 8 for the Llanymynech and Pant questions]]></description>

Well said! The problem of access in and out of Penygarreg Lane could have been eased many years ago when the powers that be were offered (By a local builder) the amount of land they needed to make the entrance/exit safe. Which they never took him up on! 
  The lane itself is now also not fit for purpose thanks to the numbers of cars using it at greater speeds than they should.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This scheme should not be considered until a by-pass is built.

Penygarreg lane is not a suitable access point for the development.  The lane itself is single track, and not suitable to allow two cars to pass each other. Trying to exit penygarreg lane onto the A483 is dangerous at the best of times, especially when thoughtless drivers park near the exit to avoid parking at the shop. This plan was refused as few years ago, on the grounds  on safety of access. The road is much busier now,and more dangerous, so should not be even considered.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Are we in a Democratic Society or are our decisions under the control of a  well financed Lobbyist group who put the interests of expected financial gains ahead of the responsible development of our community ?.

Large developments are not good for rural villages, causing over extended use of the existing services. The gradual development of infill sites that are spread throughout the village would allow for a reasonable movement into the A483 traffic flow.

The storm drains and the sewer system in the village of PANT are better suited to handle a free gravity fed system rather than the high capital investment and ongoing maintenance costs of sewer pumping stations. 

I question the reasoning of using Pennygarreg Lane as an access onto the A483 from such a large development site. The junction being a heavy density area where there is already traffic congestion entering the parking lot for the only shop and post office in the village.

The compromise to this would be to access the A483 at the northern boundary of the village, moving the congestion area and resulting backlog of traffic to a different part of the village.

The belief that the developers of a large housing development can be expected to cover the costs of an extended infra-structure of the surface water and sewer system is rarely achieved.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I can&#039;t believe as a working person, with a very busy life to hear today the filed consultation to put a housing estate up directly opposite my home. We are still classed a newcomers to the village, but we bought our home after visiting this lovely village over the past 20 years. We already compromised on the road but the biggest attraction for our home was the beautiful green woodland we look out to every single day. We watch the season change, the wildlife and the harvest of the land, why would people want to change this when there are many places in Shropshire which would benefit a housing estate, with space for families, cars and a much safer road. Shock doesn&#039;t cover it.]]></description>
