A 312 name petition was also submitted against the proposal but it was also noted that - shock horror - some were from 'outside the area'. The MP also objected. With the objectors duly dismissed the committee, with promises from the developers of 're-instatement' (there has been a poor history of this in the Ammanford area)and yippee a short cycle path, passed the application. As in Laugharne, you would think such an enormous development would warrant a site visit, but no not a whisper, and one of the local Members, Cllr Anthony Jones is even an ex-miner, or something to do with mines - you would think him of all people would understand the effect this will have on the residents of Llandybie. The committee usually enjoy a trip out to view a small extension or a re-instated farm gateway but for some reason a huge opencast mine and a holiday village doesn't warrant it. I imagine they will all go out to the Llanfynydd site of the proposed holiday village for Chinese tourists though, they may get little silk scarves and pretty boxes of tea.caebrwynhttp://www.carmarthenplanning.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
