Supermarket approved for Newcastle Emlyn
Plans for a supermarket close to Newcastle Emlyn town centre have been approved.
Carmarthenshire County Council’s planning committee considered plans by Eiddo Davies Properties Ltd for a retail convenience store on land off Tanyard Lane.
Most of the site is used by Cawdor Cars while the north eastern part of the site is currently a public car park with 65 spaces owned by Carmarthenshire County Council.
The proposal is to demolish the Cawdor Cars showroom and other buildings to make way for the development which will include additional car parking. The store will have 1066sqm of retail floor space.
Development Control Officer Stuart Willis said a retail impact assessment had concluded that the development would benefit the town centre by preventing trade from leaking to Cardigan and Carmarthen in particular.
The committee heard from objectors who claimed that the development would adversely affect the character of Newcastle Emlyn, rejected the idea that it would bring back trade into the town in general and expressed concern about the effect of bring articulated delivery lorries into the town.
