Robbie Savage’s Ffos Las hotel a step closer
Former Wales footballer and Strictly Come Dancing competitor Robbie Savage has received outline planning permission for a hotel development at Ffos Las near Trimsaran, Llanelli.Â
He and a business partner want to build a “contemporary” 35-bedroom hotel, restaurant and bar.
On Twitter, Savage said he had received the “fantastic news”.
He also wanted “to start up an academy for football” and encourage premier football and rugby teams to stay there.
The Wrexham-born midfielder has teamed with local businessman Tony Quaglia for the project on the 20 acre site next to the racecourse.
The pair became friends when Mr Quaglia was a physiotherapist for the Wales football team under former manager Mark Hughes and Savage was a regular international.
The application is being handled by Stuart Owen, a partner at Owen Banks Planning and Development.
A burned-out building, a chalet and stables are currently on the site, near Trimsaran.
