Planning Permission Recommended For 700 New Homes
Proposals for 700 new homes and large chain supermarket and petrol station are set to be given the go ahead despite concerns of the impact it could have on local businesses.
The Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire development has been recommended for approval ahead of a local council meeting later today.
Concerns have been raised over the impact the included Sainsbury's supermarket and petrol station could have on businesses already in the area, but councillors have said that the housing is "desperately needed".
Some 729 new homes, including some affordably housing, are to be built on 74 acres of farmland near the town centre. The new development also contains provisions for a possible primary school on the site.
