EXERCISE

September 28th-30th 2010

LAND SOUTH OF THE

A48 PONTARDDULAIS

A draft Development Assessment is being prepared by the

City and County of Swansea which considers the potential

for further development opportunities on land south

of the A48 and the wider context of the regeneration of

Pontarddulais.

The aim of this exhibition is to involve local residents,

traders, businesses, stakeholders, and statutory

organisations to assist in clarifying

What the issues are for the area

Constraints on development

Public views on the future regeneration and infrastructure

needs of the area.

Testing of public opinion is an important first step in the

evaluation process.The responses will contribute to the

preparation of a regeneration and infrastructure strategy for

Pontarddulais.

Mae Asesiad Datblygu drafft yn cael ei baratoi gan Ddinas

a Sir Abertawe syn ystyried y potensial ar gyfer cyfleodd

datblygu pellach ar dir ir de or A48 a chyd-destun ehangach

adfywio Pontarddulais.

Nod yr arddangosfa hon yw cynnwys trigolion lleol,

masnachwyr, busnesau, rhanddeiliaid a sefydliadau statudol

er mwyn helpu i egluro

Beth ywr materion ar gyfer yr ardal

Cyfyngiadau ar y datblygiad

Barn y cyhoedd am ddyfodol anghenion adfywio ac

isadeiledd yr ardal.

Mae profi barn y cyhoedd yn gam cyntaf pwysig yn y

broses werthuso. Bydd yr ymatebion yn cyfrannu at baratoi

strategaeth adfywio ac isadeiledd ar gyfer Pontarddulais.

Datblygu yn y Dyfodol

a Pholisi Cynllunio

The current statutory planning policies for Pontarddulais

as set out in the Swansea Unitary Development Plan (UDP)which was adopted by the City and County of Swansea in

2008.

Beyond the clearly defined built up area of Pontarddulais

there is

Open countryside (covered by policies EV20, EV21, EV22),

Land allocated for recreational use (policy HC23 and

EV24) at Coebach Park

Sensitive estuarine environment associated with the River

Loughor flood plain.

Current Unitary Development Plan policies seek to protect

these areas from further development.

Housing allocations are identified under policy HC1, and

Policy EC5 identifies the shopping core.

These policy references are shown on the plan below:

Maer polisiau statudol presennol ar gyfer Pontarddulais yn

cael eu cyflwyno yng Nghynllun Datblygu Unedol Abertawe(CDU) a fabwysiadwyd gan Ddinas a Sir Abertawe yn 2008.

Y tu hwnt i ardal adeiledig Pontarddulais mae

Ardal cefn gwlad agored (o dan bolisiau EV20, EV21, EV22),

Tir a ddyrennir at ddefnydd hamdden (polisi HC23 a EV24)

ym Mharc Coedbach.

Amgylchedd morydol sensitif syn gysylltiedig

gorlifdiroedd Afon Casllwchwr.

Mae polisiau Cynllun Datblygu Unedol presennol yn ceisio

diogelur meysydd hyn rhag datblygu pellach.

Nodir dyraniadau tai o dan bolisi HC1 ac mae polisi EC5 yn

nodir craidd siopa.

Dangosir y cyfeiriadau polisi yma ar y cynllun isod:

Key issues affecting

future regeneration

and development

An initial assessment of physical and environmental

characteristics and the policy framework for the areasuggests that development opportunities south of the A48

will be very limited.

The proximity of the River Loughor flood plain and

associated flood risk issues will prevent development west

of the dismantled railway line.

Two high pressure gas mains south of the A48 present

a significant physical constraint with associated cost

implications on any future road infrastructure and future

development.

Mae asesiad cychwynnol o nodweddion ffisegol ac

amgylcheddol a fframwaith y polisi ar gyfer yr ardal ynawgrymu y bydd cyfleoedd datblygu ir de or A48 yn

gyfyngedig iawn.

Bydd agosrwydd gorlifdiroedd Afon Casllwchwr a materion

peryglon llifogydd cysylltiedig yn atal datblygu ir gorllewin

or hen reilffordd.

Mae dwy bibell nwy gwasgedd uchel ir de or A48 yn

gyfyngiad corfforol sylweddol gyda goblygiadau costau

cysylltiol ar unrhyw isadeiledd y ffordd a datblygu yn y

dyfodol.

Town Centre

Regeneration - what

are the issues?

The town centre is currently affected by a number of issues

which are key considerations in evaluating the futureregeneration potential of areas in and adjacent to the town

centre and in terms of highway infrastructure needs.

Some of the main issues are:

It is a retail centre which is not delivering its full potential,

providing primarily a local top up shopping role, with

substantial leakage of main shopping activity to other

retail centres.

The one way system is subject to high traffic volumes

and the movement of heavy vehicles. It suffers

consequently from traffic congestion with an associated

impact on the shopping environment.

Lack of parking

Vacant retail units and gaps in the commercial frontage.

Ar hyn o bryd, effeithir ar ganol y dref gan cynifer o brif

faterian brif fater, ac maer materion hyn yn ystyriaethauallweddol wrth werthuso potensial adfywio ardaloedd yng

nghanol y dref a gerllaw canol y dref yn y dyfodol ac o ran

anghenion isadeiledd y briffordd. Dyma rai or prif faterion:

Maen ganolfan fanwerthu nad ywn cyflawni ei photensial

llawn, gan ddarparun bennaf rl siopa ychwanegol,

gydar prif weithgareddau siopan treiglo i ganolfannau

masnachu eraill.

Mae llif uchel o draffig a symudiad cerbydau trwm ar y

system unffordd. Maen dioddef felly o dagfeydd traffig

gydag effaith gysylltiedig ar yr amgylchedd siopa.

Diffyg mannau parcio

Unedau manwerthu gwag a bylchau yn y ffryntiadau

masnachol.

Adfywio canol y dref -

beth ywr materion?

There is considered to be potential for further environmental

enhancement of the centre, incorporating the work

previously implemented and also for upgrading the fabric of

retail frontages.

What are your views?

Ystyrir bod potensial i wella amgylchedd canol y dref

ymhellach, gan gynnwys gwaith a roddwyd ar waith yn

flaenorol a hefyd ar gyfer diweddaru ffryntiadau manwerthu.

Beth yw eich barn?

Does Pontarddulais

need a bypass?

The bypass scheme was originally highlighted in the 1990

Halcrow Fox report as a potential mechanism for accessingthe development land south of the town centre. However the

bypass has no formal policy status or protection and many

changes have taken place since that time which need full

consideration as part of the Development Assessment.

Further technical studies would be needed to fully

understand the impacts and costs of the bypass scheme.

The plan below shows two potential locations for a bypass

route.

Amlygwyd y cynllun ffordd osgoi yn wreiddiol yn adroddiad

Halcrow Fox ym 1990 fel mecanwaith posib ar gyfer caelmynediad ir tir datblygu ir de o ganol y dref. Fodd bynnag,

nid oes gan y ffordd osgoi unrhyw statws bolisi ffurfiol nac

amddiffyniad ac mae sawl newid wedi digwydd ers yr amser

hwnnw y bydd angen eu hystyried yn llawn fel rhan or

Asesiad Datblygu.

Byddai angen astudiaethau technolegol pellach er mwyn

deall effeithiau a chostaur cynllun ffordd osgoi yn llawn.

Maer cynllun isod yn dangos dau leoliad posib ar gyfer

llwybr y ffordd osgoi.

A oes angen

ffordd osgoi ar
