Up to 60 houses could be built on a south-facing plot of land in Upper Brynamman, Carmarthenshire. Outline plans have been submitted to the county council for a development off Cwmgarw Road. The greenfield site slopes down towards a cycle path and the River Amman, with the houses to be accessed from beside The Tregib Arms, Cwmgarw Road. Just under a mile to the north of the site is Brecon Beacons National Park.
A planning statement submitted on behalf of the applicants showed a scheme comprising three sections, a mix of different house types and several trees. Some properties would be classed as affordable. The development, it said, would provide much-needed housing on a suitable site and would not cause privacy issues for adjacent householders. It added that the site was allocated for housing under Carmarthenshire Council's local development plan.
