Tycroes takeaway could be replaced by convenience store
Convenience store
An application has been submitted for the proposed demolition of a redundant hot food takeaway and adjacent structure at 6-8 Ammanford Road, Tycroes.
The plan is to replace these with a ground floor food retail store with an ATM and associated parking area.
It will have a glass window frontage and white external render with side delivery access.
The proposed store is intended to serve the local community, as well as passing trade and tourists.
The hot food takeaway stopped trading in 2021 and the bungalow was in need of expensive renovation works.
Bungalow extension
A plan for a single-storey extension to the side and rear of a detached bungalow at 1 Fairoak, Ammanford, has been presented.
The extension will feature stucco walls, a flat rubber or GRP roof, and PVCu/aluminium windows, doors, rainwater goods and fascias.
To enhance the area's green infrastructure, the proposal includes the addition of native plants and shrubs in the garden.
These efforts aim to encourage insects and pollinators, thereby creating additional small habitats.
Retain garden boundary walls
A retrospective application has been put forward to retain garden boundary walls and increased garden levels at 19 Tirycoed Road, Glanaman.
The construction of these walls began in May 2024, but remains incomplete.
Horse ménage
An application has been submitted for a proposed horse ménage at Bedwbach Farm, Capel Seion Road, Pontyberem.
The plan suggests transforming the agricultural land from grass to sand, surrounded by a wooden fence.
Holiday accommodation
A proposal for holiday accommodation at Bron y Felin, Cynghordy, Llandovery, has been submitted.
This includes three mobile units (shepherd huts) with off-grid facilities and a packaged treatment plant.
The development is considered a small to modest-sized tourism initiative, aimed at attracting more visitors to Cynghordy.
Floodlighting columns and storage
An application has been made for the erection of eight floodlighting columns and the placement of a replacement storage container at an existing horse-riding arena at Amman Valley Pony Club, Blaenau Road, Llandybie.
The club, established in 1966, has 48 members who participate in various equestrian sports.
The floodlights will each have two LED lamps and be mounted on 10-metre high columns, ensuring minimal environmental disruption.
House extension
Plans have been submitted for extension works and alterations to a dwelling at Llwynmendy Isaf, Bethlehem, Llandeilo.
The extension will match the existing home, with alterations including window size increase, removal of doors, and the addition of a gas boiler and new partitions and openings.
Discharge of conditions
An application to discharge conditions 18, 19, 20, and 22 of PL/07363 at Derlwyn Garage, Heol Y Neuadd, Tumble, has been lodged.
The applicant believes the submitted tactile crossing, CTMP, amphibian/reptile method statement and invasive species documents satisfy the relevant conditions.
Alterations to improve accessibility
An application has been made for alterations, an extension, and associated works to improve accessibility at 30 Pontardulais Road, Tycroes.
The work includes removing a window, fitting sliding doors, and widening a permeable hardstanding to make a turning area for vehicles.

Rangers EGM vote revealed as Ibrox club plan £20million investment, new share issue and company switch
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT'S officially all systems to go for the new American-led era at Rangers. That's after the Ibrox club's new US owners' immediate plans were rubber-stamped at an EGM. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 New Rangers chairman Andrew Cavenagh Credit: Alamy 3 Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe is now also in a senior post at Ibrox Credit: Alamy 3 05.06.2025 Rangers FC press conference for new head coach Russell Martin: Russell Martin Credit: Willie Vass It was just a few weeks ago when the American consortium comprised of health insurance tycoon Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises sealed the deal to take over Rangers. After months of talks, the Gers announced at the end of May that it had all gone through, heralding the start of a new era for the Light Blues. Cavenagh was immediately installed as the club's new chairman with 49ers chief Paraag Marathe - who's also the Leeds United chairman - taking up the position of vice-chairman. The big changes continued with Kevin Thelwell quickly beginning work as sporting director before Russell Martin arrived as head coach the week after the takeover was officially done. Martin is working with the Gers squad for the first time today with the players back for pre-season training. With plenty of change in and around the club, fans are now keen to see new players come in the door sooner rather than later. And now, a big step forward to that becoming a reality has been confirmed. For the first time since taking the helm, Cavenagh and Marathe are in Scotland. They've headed for Glasgow where Rangers have been holding an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) this morning at the Double Tree by Hilton hotel in the city centre. The meeting saw several key resolutions voted on by the club's shareholders. Rangers captain James Tavernier spotted training with ex-team-mate and old Premiership rival Ryan Porteous who branded him 'bad loser' The biggest of those was to ratify the proposed £20million injection into the club. Immediately after the takeover was sealed, the new owners stated their intention to invest the £20m immediately and launch a new share issue - subject to shareholder approval. Top of the agenda, the resolution has been passed, alongside a second resolution that was directly linked to it. It means new boss Martin will now have the funds available to add to his squad. Time is of the essence in terms of squad strengthening with the Champions League qualifiers getting underway in a month's time. Rangers will take on Panathiniakos in the second qualifying round. The rubber-stamping of the investment wasn't the only thing on the agenda, however. One of the other resolutions voted on was to ratify Rangers' switch from PLC (public limited company) to a private limited company (LTD). Since 2012, the club have been operating as 'The Rangers International Football Club PLC.' Going forward, it will now be known as 'Rangers International Football Club Limited.' The shift to a limited company sees a change in the business structure and essentially gives the new owners an additional layer of control. It also means that any new shares cannot be offered publicly going forward. All resolutons passed with over 98% approval.

Hope for 100s of Scots jobs hit by bus firm plan to go to England
And it has emerged that the SNP-led Scottish Government and the Labour-led UK Government have agreed to establish a joint working group to discuss options to find a solution and avert job losses. They are looking at how far they 'can push' the UK 'state aid' rules set out in the Subsidy Control Act 2022 to create a support package to save the 400 jobs. The second meeting of that working group was held on Monday last week and it is due to meet again this week. An Alexander Dennis source said that they are engaging with both governments "in good faith on the possibility of any intervention" and stressed that a final decision on the move had not yet been made. Read more: The Scottish Government came under fire after the deputy first minister Kate Forbes pledged to leave "no stone unturned" in securing a future for ADL. Kate Forbes (Image: Colin Mearns) Ministers have said there was "cause of hope in terms of looking at a way through the challenges". A row erupted in the Scottish Parliament in the wake of revelations in the Herald over the depth of the public funding for Scottish jobs over the past ten years - and even while it was cutting back its workforce by a third five years ago. The Herald also revealed how the First Minister was warned of Alexander Dennis concerns last summer a year before announcing plans last week to relocate to England putting 400 jobs at risk. Alexander Dennis, which has factories in Falkirk and Larbert, said it was considering moving manufacturing to a site in Scarborough. The plans would see work at the Falkirk site discontinued, while the Larbert site would be closed after current contracts are completed. The company said it was facing strong competition from Chinese electric bus manufacturers whose share of the market had risen from 10% to 35%. Alexander Dennis, which manufactures single and double decker buses, said the new proposed structure would lower costs and increase efficiency. Calls have been made to claw public money back money if Alexander Dennis follows through with its plans. The Herald revealed that the row between ministers and ADL emerged over levels of support and had its roots in Scottish Government schemes launched from 2020 to accelerate the use and manufacture of zero and low emission buses in Scotland and 'help drive a green recovery out of the Covid pandemic" which have been worth a total of £155.8m to date. The SNP launched their financial case for Scottish independence at Alexander Dennis (Image: Newsquest) Frustrations emerged after May 2023 when Alexander Dennis hosted the second phase of the Scottish Government's Zero Emissions Bus Challenge Fund (ScotZEB) which was to have funding worth £58m. It also showcased its Enviro100EV concept, a lightweight single-deck zero-emission bus with new in-house battery powertrain confirmed that grant backing accelerated its development. In a scathing letter seen by The Herald, Paul Soubry, president and chief executive of Alexander Dennis's parent company NFI, told John Swinney that recent developments had 'regretfully left [them] with the impression that the Scottish Government has little regard for domestic bus manufacturing jobs in Scotland'. The First Minister was also told they had already been 'forced' to offshore certain manufacturing functions to China. But a Scottish Government memo said that ADL had received orders for 363 zero-emission buses from ScotZEB more than any other manufacturer benefitting from the schemes. A separate briefing states that Alexander Dennis was awarded only 17% or 44 buses from second phase of the programme. A significant grant through the ScotZeb 2 programme was awarded to Zenobe, and its consortium of bus and coach operators to support the transition of bus fleets to electric. ADL, which incurred total losses over three years of £44.9m between 2021 and 2023, made its own bid to the programme but was unsuccessful. While ADL was a supplier to the successful consortium it was not a formal part of it. An Alexander Dennis spokesman said: 'Our focus remains on ensuring our people are supported during our consultation process. "This is a challenging time, and we are grateful for the active engagement from the Scottish and UK Governments and other political parties and stakeholders to discuss options and possible interventions. "It is clear there is a shared ambition to ensure the Scottish and UK manufacturing industry is protected and can thrive and we hope that we can encourage a cross-nation, collaborative approach as we continue to progress these important discussions.' The Scottish Government has said that policy interventions had been designed to "accelerate uptake of zero emission buses in the Scottish market". According to Scottish ministers, ADL secured orders for more than 360 vehicles through Scottish Government funding programmes. And they say the route to providing further support involves looking at ADL's cost base, considering what additional support can be provided to help with productivity and to lower costs and to look at how an order book can be developed for the company. They to say that there is "cause for hope" and that there were "solutions" that can be delivered through the collaborative process. While they say they have to abide by public procurement regulations and subsidy controls, but were working on a "support package" for the company.
