Burry Port flats plan approved
Plans to replace a Burry Port eyesore with seven retirement flats have been approved by Carmarthenshire county councillors.
The planning committee yesterday discussed plans to replace the fire-damaged property at Sandhurst, The Harbour, Burry Port, with seven retirement flats/apartments and garages.
The application site is to the immediate south of the new Chandler’s Yard residential development at Burry Port Harbour. The harbour itself is to the east of the application site.
The proposed accommodation is six two-bedroom apartment/flats, three on the ground floor and three on the first floor. There will also be an additional two bedroom apartment in the roof void of the property to be used by the applicant.
An officers’ report to the committee said: “It is considered that the size, scale and design of the proposed development is of a high quality and uses a pallet of materials vernacular to the area as a whole, and will improve the visual appearance of the area by removing a fire damaged property that has blighted the area for a number of years.”
Planning officer John Thomas said that the current property had contained five flats and was accessible by a single track lane. The new development would have the same access.
He said that the main objections received to the scheme related to highway safety and concern that there would be increased traffic along the lane. He said as there were five flats there previously it was not considered that a further two flats would make a difference. They were for retired people with one parking space allocated for each flat.
Local members Cllr Pat Jones and Cllr Stephen James, along with representatives of Pembrey and Burry Port Town Council and the community, expressed concern about highway safety. Cllr James also expressed concern about the scale of the development.
The scheme was approved subject to a Section 106 agreement for a contribution for the improvement/extension of the existing traffic calming scheme in the area and to ensure that the flats are for retired people.
