Outline plans for a large housing estate in Kidwelly have been given the green light, 15 years after they were submitted. Carmarthenshire Council said the application for the development on land bordered by Monksford Street and Stockwell Lane was part of a historic backlog of cases which the authority had been resolving in recent months.
Rhodri Griffiths, the council's head of place and sustainability, which includes planning services, said: "In this case the determination has been delayed due to a combination of technical and legal matters, which include probate." Probate is the legal process of proving that a will is valid and confirming who has authority to administer the deceased's estate.
The outline plans for a residential development off Monksford Street, including access and road layout, were submitted in October, 2007, by David Lloyd George Developments Ltd, of Glanamman Workshops, Ammanford. The plans didn't mention a number of houses, but a transport assessment submitted on behalf of the developer suggested it would be 150.
