If things go as publicised, it will could have a really positive impact on South West Wales. What puzzles me is the fact there’ve previously been significant challenges/restrictions imposed on developments in the Lougher Estuary area on account of pollutants (possibly phosphates) being discharged, but this scheme is going ahead and it’s much much bigger than some of the developments I know which have really struggled to get permission. It may be there’s a new waste water facility included in the scheme, but I don’t know for sure. | | | |
