Plans to build 56 new houses in a Pembrokeshire village have been approved by county councillors despite local opposition. The houses and bungalows will be built on farmland in Crymych.
Business group Menter Iaith Sir Benfro claimed it could threaten the Welsh-speaking nature of the village, while some residents fear extra traffic. Developers Tai Ceredigion said the scheme is aimed at local people, with a quarter of the homes to be affordable.
Crymych has one of the highest proportions of Welsh speakers in Pembrokeshire, at 60% according to the 2011 census. The figure for Pembrokeshire as a whole was just under 14%.
