The property comprises a parcel of agricultural land extending to approximately 6.43 acres (2.60 hectares). Access to the site can be gained from the west via Waun Penlan. The site is irregular in shape and slopes from its highest point at the north east corner down to the southern corner. There are established tree and hedgerow boundaries with timber post and wire fencing. There is a band of woodland to the east of the site. The site benefits from fantastic views looking down the valley and the countryside beyond. The site is situated within settlement limits and allocated in the Neath Port Talbot Local Development Plan (LDP), which was adopted in January 2016, along with the adjoining land to the south. The allocation suggests a total number of dwellings across both sites of 115 units over an estimated gross site area of 9.8 acres (3.9 hectares). The adjoining site to the west is also allocated within the LDP. The subject site (outline in red on the plan) forms part of allocation reference no: H1/27. We assess the site to have capacity for approximately 70 dwellings. Current planning policy states that a 10% on-site affordable housing contribution will be sought.
