Description - Parcel A: Land with residential development potential, subject to planning consent
An opportunity to acquire an extended area of land comprising grass land, scrub woodland with areas of overgrown vegetation. The site, measuring approximately 6.3 hectares (15.56 acres) or thereabouts is sandwiched between the village of Carway to the north and new homes at the Persimmon development to the south.

The site can be accessed from the racecourse roundabout and Mayford Lane. Access is also available from the road/bridleway that provides access to the Woodland Trust War Memorial Woodland Project to the east of the site. We understand that there may be additional access points from the adjoining Persimmon site. Interested parties should satisfy themselves with regards to these potential access points.

The site is outside, but abuts the settlement boundary on either side in the Local Development Plan and in our opinion offers potential for development compatible within a residential area, including residential development, community uses and/or for grazing or stabling of horses, subject to obtaining all necessary consents.

A section of the land is being used for keeping horses. We have been advised that this is subject to a short term tenancy agreement. Please refer to the legal pack for further information.

Parcel C: Amenity land with development potential, subject to obtaining all necessary consents
An extensive area of land measuring approximately 18.08 hectares (44.68 acres) or thereabouts and comprising restored open cast ground. The site appears to have been remediated to provide rough scrubland, grazing and extensive woodland planting.

The land wraps around and forms a border to the Ffos Las Racecourse site on its northern and eastern sides. There is a public bridleway along the western boundary of the plot.

The site enjoys beautiful views across Ffos Las Racecourse and onward down the Gwendraeth valley and Carmarthen Bay, across to Tenby and Caldey Island.

The land may be suitable for tourist log cabins/mobile homes or even residential development, subject to obtaining all necessary consents.

Parcel D: Parcel of land with development potential, subject to obtaining all necessary consents
A substantial area of land measuring approximately 76.74 hectares (190 acres) or thereabouts has been substantially tree planted by the Woodland Trust and has the benefit of a public bridleway.

The site could offer potential for a number of different uses including leisure/equestrian/country sports with the adjacent racecourse boundary. It could be suited for renewable energy generation such as Wind Power and Solar Energy.

We have been advised that the two lakes to the north eastern boundary are owned by Carmarthenshire County Council and could be suitable for leisure uses, including fishing and water sports, subject to any necessary agreements. The site could potentially be used for residential development in the longer term, subject to obtaining all necessary consents.

Parcel E: Parcel of land with development potential, subject to obtaining all necessary consents
An area of land measuring approximately 4.13 hectares (10.2 acres) or thereabouts that mostly comprises restored opencast ground that has been remediated to provide for rough mixed grazing and shelter belt woodlands.

The land is situated along the western boundary of the Ffos Las Racecourse and is traversed by a number of footpaths and bridleways. The level site can be accessed from the main access to Ffos Las or from the B4317 and has the benefit of a surfaced road/bridleway.

The land may have potential for commercial or light industrial uses, subject to obtaining all necessary consents.

Parcel F: Parcel of land with development potential, subject to obtaining all necessary consents
A parcel of relatively level land comprising predominantly woodland with some scrubland located adjacent to the main B4317 Carway to Trimsaran Road. The land measuring approximately 5.74 hectares (14.18 acres) or thereabouts would appear to have provided a screen between the former opencast coal workings and the public road.

The land may be suitable for a number of different uses including a mixed use residential/commercial development or as a retirement village/care home development, subject to obtaining all necessary consents.

We understand that the site benefits from an adopted foul sewer which runs along the southern boundary of the plot.

Parcel G: Parcel of land with development potential, subject to obtaining all necessary consents
A parcel of land measuring approximately 7.5 hectares (18.5 acres) or thereabouts that is located adjacent to the racecourse, including the offices and workshops. The land is sandwiched between the Afon Morlais and the woodland shelter belt areas to the main highway to the north and the Ffos Las Racecourse site to the south.

We understand that the road forming the southern boundary and adjacent to the racecourse has been constructed to adoptable standards up to ‘road base’ level with mains services within the road. We have been advised that the racecourse has access rights from the gated access off Heol Waunhir, to the eastern limit of the plot.

The land may be suitable for residential development or for a residential/tourist mobile home/log cabin development, subject to obtaining all necessary consents.

Interested parties are advised to make their own enquiries in relation to proposed uses for any of the parcels of land with Carmarthenshire County Council’s planning department – or

The parcels of land are situated close to local amenities in Carway and Trimsaran with their mix of amenities and service providers, including the racecourse and Glyn Abbey Golf Club.
