Cardigan Homes Scheme Resubmitted After Previous Plan Rejected

A family wants to build homes near Cardigan. They want four affordable houses on Cae Morgan Road. The sisters, Celyn, Sara, and Carys Jukes applied. Mandy Jones, another sister, will have the fourth house. The sisters currently live nearby with their parents.

The family wants to live and work locally. They also want to raise families there. The homes will be smaller than before. These designs consider the landscape and neighbors. The family hopes for long-term homes.

The council rejected a past plan last August. The previous houses cost £400,000 each. The council deemed them not “affordable.” The Town Council supported it, but others worried.

The council disliked the prior location and cost. They felt no need for the family to live there. The council also saw it as a wish to be near family. The family wants to live in their community.

Celyn Jukes spoke about raising Welsh-speaking children locally. She noted supportive community reactions.

A planning head questioned the past application. He said the homes were clearly not affordable. The planning head stated their cost was too high. The plots and houses were too big to be “affordable.” The council will review the new application later. They will then make a decision.
