Preseli Pembrokeshire AM Paul Davies is horrified that an eco village planned for North Pembrokeshire has been given the go ahead. He has grave concerns about the nine eco smallholdings, a community hub and a campsite which can now be built by the Lammas Project on 64 acres near Glandwr.
"I am absolutely appalled that this project has been given planning permission," said the Preseli Pembrokeshire AM.
"The local MP, the county council, the AM and, most importantly the local residents, were all against it. And yet the Welsh Assembly has come in and just ridden roughshod over everyone's concerns.
"It is absolutely disgusting. A number of local residents were vociferously opposed to this project yet the planning inspector has totally ignored local democracy. This sets a dangerous precedent as well. What's to stop any number of "eco hamlets" popping up in unspoiled parts of Preseli Pembrokeshire?
"Hard working families cannot get permission to build a single dwelling if it is outside a village boundary and yet this community has now got permission for an entire village."
