Carmarthenshire councillors have come out in favour of plans to build up to 280 houses at the Ffos Las Racecourse in Trimsaran.
Last Thursday’s meeting of the planning committee was minded to approve the outline application by Ffos Las Ltd.
There is already planning permission for 248 homes and work has been commenced with a major house builder on site. The up to 280 extra houses would be directly to the south of Carway.
Community benefits under the scheme include that 15 per cent of the properties should be affordable housing and that £200,000 should be given towards community facilities.
The approval is subject to an appropriate assessment in accordance with the Habitat Regulations 2010 being agreed by the Countryside Council for Wales and to the completion of a Section 106 legal agreement on community benefits and sewerage issues.
