Ecology Response Dec 2020

” ..the amount of manure/N produced, and the area required for spreading, has been underestimated.”

Ecology Response Dec 2020

“…the predicted PEC demonstrated significant exceedance of ammonia critical levels at River Wye SAC/River Ithon SSSI (137.9%), Far Hall Meadows SSSI (40.7%) and Ithon Valley Woodlands SSSI (122.5%). Nitrogen deposition PEC would remain in excess at all ecological receptor…”

Ecology Response Dec 2020

“I am aware of the view of the existing development from the trunk road and its appearance on the landscape, however the submitted LVIA uses a viewpoint which is blocked by a tree. I would suggest that this should be amended to provide a more suitable viewpoint along the trunk road.”

Planning response to Agent Dec 2020

“the Welsh Government as highway authority for the A483 trunk road directs refusal…The proposals within the application will significantly increase the incidence of slow moving HGVs waiting to perform turning manoeuvres and so have the potential to impact the strategy for this part of the network.”
