Save Pibwrlwyd Lane.- Pibwrlwyd Lane is being threatened with massive change and urbanization. Developers sent letters to residents in the lane saying they intend to tear down mature long standing trees and woodland and hedgerow. They intend tarmacking the hillsides and placing massive dominating buildings on platforms on the greenfeilds of our lane. In the process they intend tearing up the homes of our resident hazel dormouse a very rare and endangered species. Residents of the lane have sent in objections and there is still time for more objections to be added. All objection letters carry weight so please do put an objection letter in to Carmarthen council the application number is PL/10198.

We feel confident other brownfield site options could be used. They are talking of closing Ammanford college which would mean that community loosing an asset and students having to travel with all the issues that brings.
The hazel dormouse cannot survive the loss of habitat and this is how endangered species are lost forever.
They are intending 3500 students be brought to our lane ,10 coach bays and 2 zebra crossing on the lane.
Please sign our petition to request a stop to this destruction .

This development must be stopped as it’s so damaging to the countryside, natural environment and habitation. How can the surrounding area cope with additional homes and increased traffic on our roads? We already have severe congestion problems in Pensarn and around Carmarthen town where the traffic is often gridlocked.
Having grown up in the area and cycled, scootered and jogged up and down this lane numerous times throughout my life. Nothing is sadder than thinking the future of this lane will be full of college kids racing their cars and busses clogging up the roads from both the nearby school and college at peak times causing chaos for residents and visitors alike. The residents will never know peace again if this building goes ahead and I feel for them immensely.
I strongly petition against the plans to uproot & disturb this beautiful quiet Lane. There are elderly people residing here & they will be expected to continue their daily routines surrounded by an unreal increase in traffic & members of the public in their secluded area.
This is a quiet residential lane and is used by a lot of walkers. A development of this scale will have a huge impact on the traffic and noise which will make a fundamental change to this lovely location
This is a lane mostly inhabited by individuals that have retired and are looking to live in peace and tranquility. The plans suggested will result in a massive impact on their lives and their immediate environment resulting in several years of dirt, dust, noise, upheaval, inconvenience and obviously massive levels of stress and upset. They are not being offered any form of compensation and are informed this is going to happen. If we cannot look after those that deserve their time of peace having worked for their families and this country for decades and decades then what compassion does this country possess. This goes way beyond the definition of unfair.
Because its nature
Protect the dormouse!

I have grave concerns about important habitat destruction and also sustainable urban drainage plans, (set in place by a collaboration between DCWW and Carmarthenshire County Council), not being adhered to. The area is already severely waterlogged and surface water run off will cause catastrophic consequences for the residents of Pibwrlwyd lane which sit below the development area.
