A MAJOR scheme to develop 20 affordable homes in a small rural village in Gwynedd, which prompted local concerns over its size and need is to be considered by planners.

Cyngor Gwynedd has received an application for the development of pasture land north of Tai Newyddion at Penisarwaun.

‘The application is by Paul MacLennan (MacLennan Construction Limited) through the agent Neil Foxall (NJ Planning Ltd).

‘The developers say it will provide 20, 100% affordable units and will make “a positive contribution to the housing needs of the area’

It is a full application for the erection of 20 affordable dwellings, including access, parking and landscaping at the village which is four miles from Caernarfon and a mile from Llanrug.
