The Plans to extend a primary school as well as develop and improve facilities at a community sports ground have been supported by hundreds of people in Laugharne have now been turned down by Carmarthenshire County Council and the Community may now lose the benefits included in the application.

The proposals were submitted as part of a wider development of providing new housing in the Carmarthenshire Township with the aim of providing substantial community benefit.

This application includes building new homes along with a number of community benefits including making the existing playing fields bigger benefiting the local primary school and sporting clubs.

The plans include an extension to Laugharne Primary School, erecting a new pavilion/clubhouse, an all-weather pitch and a new car park with 82 spaces for the shared use of the school and the playing field users.

The existing 1960s changing rooms would be demolished.

A new footpath would have also be created linking Laugharne to Broadway.
