At the February meeting of Ceredigion County Council’s development management committee, members were recommended to refuse an application to erect a dwelling, agricultural shed and associated works on the site of the nearby abandoned dwelling at Fronlwyd/Pen-yr-Allt, just over a mile from Llangrannog, which was last occupied in 1936.
It was recommended for refusal on grounds including it was “unjustified new housing in open countryside”.
Members unanimously backed a site inspection panel viewing of the application, the application returning to a future meeting.
