PLANS for a new housing development in an area of high need in Carmarthenshire have been refused on appeal.

A Welsh Government-appointed planning inspector said the 21-home scheme in Glanamman would be “harmful to ecological interests” based on the evidence provided.

Ammanford-based developer Beacon Eco Homes Ltd wanted to build two and three-bed properties on land off Cwmamman Road.

A planning, design and access statement submitted on its behalf said the homes would be within walking distance from shops and community facilities and that due consideration had been given to biodiversity.
