Plans for a new phase of housebuilding on land west of Carmarthen have been unveiled. Persimmon Homes wants to build 92 two, three and four-bedroom houses and flats at the strategic Carmarthen West site, north of the A40.
Eleven of them, according to a design and access statement submitted as part of its planning application to Carmarthenshire Council, would be classed as affordable. The 92 properties would be built on three hectares of agricultural land at the 130-hectare Carmarthen West site, where 1,100 new homes and a primary school were envisaged over time. That number has been scaled down to 700 under the council's new local development plan, although the plan hasn't been approved yet.
The Persimmon Homes site, called Frondeg, would be accessed via a roundabout on Ffordd Pendre - the link road between the A40 and the north of Job's Well Road. "The development will be an attractive place to live and play with the retention of existing green infrastructure and the provision of informal open space," said the design and access statement.
