A housebuilder is to reapply for planning permission for a new estate in Llangennech after it said a legal agreement to provide affordable homes couldn't be signed in time. Haywood Homes Ltd wants to build 30 homes on a field by Llangennech RFC on Pontarddulais Road.
Carmarthenshire Council turned down an application submitted in September 2020 because of a lack of an agreement for affordable homes and a financial contribution towards education. Haywood Homes said an agreement had been reached but that it couldn't be signed due to the death of the landowner, who was required to sign it. The company said it would reapply for planning consent in due course.
A design and access statement submitted as part of the 2020 application said the three and four-bed houses, opposite the Parc Morlais estate, would have been set back from the main road and that trees and hedgerows on the perimeter would have been retained.
