Planners refuse a huge poultry unit near Llangadog Published duration 3 October 2017

Plans for a barn housing up to 32,000 free-range hens have been rejected by Carmarthenshire council.

The unit on Godre Garreg farm, near Llangadog, would have included space for packing millions of eggs.

There were 79 objections and a 1,300-signature petition, with complaints focusing on smell, proximity to houses and increased traffic.

Despite being recommended to approve the plan, nine of the 12 councillors rejected it.
