Residents have not had the chance to object to this development. Fair enough sort out the field for the school children but to expect residents to put up with the noise of football matches all weekend and training sessions in the evenings is so wrong. The school boundary is so near peoples gardens this cant be right? Waiting for the planning application to be posted in the locality of the school. I can see this being granted. So so wrong if that happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-13459266589954484072014-04-27T20:57:14.351+01:002014-04-27T20:57:14.351+01:00I live in Llangennech and it's common knowledg...I live in Llangennech and it's common knowledge that the whole thing was a stitch-up. Now we have to wait with baited breath to see what horrific developments will be granted permission on the site and watch our quiet little village destroyed. We already have articulated lorries driving through the village (come and see the cracks on the houses) as they make their way to Stradey Business Park. Oh yes, and the jobs they created (no local people) means we have to have these young guns speeding through the village in their suped-up first fiestas and throwing litter out the window.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-72149444576633164362014-04-25T23:08:26.483+01:002014-04-25T23:08:26.483+01:00Well done Cneifiwr!

How they go about getting the “best that can reasonably obtained” is not set out in statute. So they get a valuation. <br /><br />Q. What is land worth? <br />A. What someone is prepared to pay for it.<br />Q. What will someone pay for it?<br />A. Look at similar recent examples and see what they sold for, or offer it for sale, and see what offers come in.<br />Q. Are there any similar examples to the Llangennech site?<br />A. Not that similar or recent.<br />Q. Why not offer it for sale and see what it attracts?<br />A. Er….<br />Q. Can we find out about the valuation?<br />A. No.<br />Q. Has the Council acted lawfully?<br />A. Who knows? It’ll need more than a rebuffed FOI request to penetrate the wall of secrecy.<br /><br />Dealings done behind closed doors, with no transparency, involving huge sums of money and individuals with a less than impressive business history, will ensure that those inclined to detect the odour of rodents will certainly have their noses twitching. Coming after the Scarlets CarParkgate revelations, Members and the public might wish to see a bit more light shed on this as well.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-51751024427518227882014-04-24T14:43:21.633+01:002014-04-24T14:43:21.633+01:00As Huw Llewellyn Davies would say, Wel wel wel wel...As Huw Llewellyn Davies would say, Wel wel wel wel wel wel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118857435900510280.post-69757073720920646562014-04-24T13:41:24.406+01:002014-04-24T13:41:24.406+01:00An appalling saga of arrogance, greed and cronyism...An appalling saga of arrogance, greed and cronyism.
