 Summer 2025 update

In 2023, little more than 4 years after its adoption, that City Council had to accept that its adopted LDP was not working.

Unfortunately for Penllergaer, the damage had already been done. During the last 2 years the Local Planning Authority (LPA) has being working on what it
believes this new plan should look like. This has now presented the community council with
its first real opportunity to make its views known. Those issues which the community council believe will have the greatest adversarial impact
on Penllergaer, by only adding to its problems, have been reported to the LPA. The issues
are as follows:
The threat to our community that is posed by the Parc Mawr development being
unable to provide the primary school and relief road on which the development was
predicated. (Preferred Strategy response refers)
 

Challenges made to the proposed additional housing need, together with the LPA’s failure to explain why more than 5000 houses allocated in the LDP have just disappeared. (Analysis of Housing Supply and Supplementary response refer)

Possible allocation of further strategic housing sites in Penllergaer. (Candidate Site Register response refers)
