Mumbles Community Council is calling a series of public meetings in a bid to save the many Cliffside fields, tracts of common land, other green spaces and areas of woodland within its community. These vital spaces are under threat from development proposals submitted under the City and County of Swansea’s Candidate Site Register.umble, tracts of common land, other green spaces and areas of woodland within its commThese vital spaces are under threat from development proposals submitted under the City and County of Swansea’s Candidate Site Register.
This register is one part of a countywide consultation process for the Local Development Plan (LDP), which will take effect from 2015. Applications to this register are subject to a selection process with accepted sites included in the LDP.
Any of the many development proposals approved for the Mumbles Community Council would be zoned for housing development. Opposition against development in these areas has been growing rapidly with groups of residents strenuously objecting to the proposals to develop the open spaces or woodland in the area.
Mumbles Community Council has recorded its opposition to all these development proposals and in addition has submitted fifteen applications to the register in support of protecting open spaces.
Council Chairman Linda Tyler Lloyd said: “It is not sufficient just to object to development proposals in order to help keep areas green, there must also be positive support for the Greenspace proposals submitted by the Community Council and others. We urge residents to register their comments today as after30 September 2011 there will be no second chance.”
