Nine homes could be built on land in Upper Brynamman
An outline planning consent application has been submitted for the development of nine residential dwellings on land adjacent to 53 Station Road, Upper Brynamman.
The scheme proposes a 'wholly green infrastructure led approach towards design' to deliver a 'verdant, attractive' setting for the proposed homes.
It will include a comprehensive scheme of new landscape planting, the retention of existing green infrastructure, and Sustainable Drainage features throughout the site.
The proposal includes detached and semi-detached dwellings in a linear format.
Two-storey extension
An application has been submitted for a proposed two-storey kitchen and bedroom extension at Glascoed Fawr, Llanarthne.
The plans also include a single-storey lean-to annexe addition at the rear of the property.
The existing farmhouse, which was extended in the late 1900s, is of stone construction with a slate pitched roof and traditional features such as timber sash windows.
The new owner wishes to make the farmhouse their main residence and create a 'contemporary addition that is striking, thought-provoking, and of architectural merit.'
Newton House courtyard redecoration
An application has been submitted for the external redecoration of the Oak Yard (inner courtyard) at Newton House, Dinefwr.
The work, which began on April 7, will be done whilst the inner courtyard will still be accessible to the public.
Scaffolding will be restricted with fencing and 'site safe' signage.
The public will have access to the Oak Yard, but it will be restricted during the erection of the scaffolding.
Discharge of conditions
An application has been submitted to discharge a number of conditions on a previously approved planning application for Cilyrychen Quarry in Llandybie.
The conditions to be discharged include land contamination, air quality monitoring, conservation management plan, lime kiln analysis, lime kiln monitoring, and landscape and ecological management plan.
Reserved matters for new home
A reserved matters application has been submitted for a residential dwelling at Plot 16, Llandybie.
The reserved matters for the application include access, appearance, landscaping, layout, and scale of the property.
The schedule of finishes includes coloured render and stone/stone effect facing to external walls, slated or grey flat tile roof covering, and coloured uPVC windows, doors, and rainwater goods.
A Beaumaris Woodstone Bat Box will also be installed at high level below eaves on the south elevation of the dwelling.
Extension to premises
An application has been submitted for a proposed single-storey lounge extension to the existing restaurant/hotel premises at the Plough Inn, Rhosmaen, Llandeilo.
The extension, which would add 18 square metres onto the premises, would be located on the existing patio area.
The walls of the extension would be rendered like the existing premises, with the windows and doors also matching the existing coloured uPVC.
However, the extension will have a flat grey rubberoid roof rather than the tile roof of the existing building.

Police used DNA to identify boy more than 50 years after his body was found. What happened to him remains a mystery
Police used advanced DNA testing to identify a murdered Pennsylvania boy more than 50 years after his body was found in Virginia, but the events leading up to his death remain a mystery. In June 1972, a little boy was found dead in Massey Creek under the Old Colchester Road Bridge in Lorton, Virginia. An autopsy revealed he had died of blunt force trauma but he was not able to be identified until now. The Fairfax County Police Department revealed the boy's name on Monday — Carl Matthew Bryant. Bryant had turned four years old shortly before he was found dead. Police were able to identify Byrant through advanced DNA testing and forensic-grade genome sequencing. Astrea Forensics, a biotechnology research company that helps law enforcement solve forensic cold cases, developed a DNA profile suitable for genetic genealogy with just a few millimeters of hair collected from the boy. With this DNA profile, Innovative Forensic Investigations, an investigative genetic genealogy and private investigation firm, was able to identify a possible relative of the boy. Detectives then traced the boy's family to Philadelphia, and with the help of local authorities, they contacted a relative who led them to the boy's mother, Vera Bryant. Vera died in 1980, but her body was exhumed, and her DNA confirmed a match. But it's still unclear what exactly happened to Bryant and his six-month-old brother, James Bryant, who was killed around the same time. James' body has never been found. Detectives believe Vera and her then-boyfriend, James Hedgepeth, who is also now dead, were involved in Bryant's murder. Hedgepeth was previously convicted of murder and had a 'violent criminal history,' according to Fairfax County police. A family member said Vera had two sons, Carl and James, and she planned to travel from Philadelphia to Virginia in 1972, according to authorities. Police theorize the murders of the Byrant boys happened somewhere between Philadelphia and Middlesex County, Virginia. Solve the daily Crossword

Mets' bats go cold, squander lead in 3-2 loss to Guardians
The Mets took an early two-run lead but their bats went cold and failed to generate anything, falling to the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night, 3-2. New York finished with just four hits. Here are the takeaways... -- Pete Alonso, searching for his record-tying HR, got the Mets on the board against LHP Logan Allen in the bottom of the first inning with a sacrifice fly, driving in Francisco Lindor from third base to make it a 1-0 game. It's RBI No. 91 on the season for the first baseman -- already three more than he had all of 2024. -- After his 11-game hitting streak ended Monday, Mark Vientos picked it back up at the plate with a double to the right field corner in the second inning. He advanced to third base on Jeff McNeil's sac-bunt and scored on Tyrone Taylor's single to put New York up 2-0. The RBI-single snapped Taylor's 0-for-19 streak. Starling Marte reached on a fielder's choice to load the bases, but the Guardians turned a smooth double play on Lindor's grounder to limit the damage. -- Clay Holmes struck out four of the first six Cleveland batters he faced with two identical innings of groundout-strikeout-strikeout. He tossed another 1-2-3 inning in the third, capping it off with his fifth strikeout of the night. The right-hander gave up his first three hits of the night in the fourth inning, including two RBI-singles as the Guardians tied things up at 2-2. The longer inning pushed his pitch total to 68 through 4.0 IP. Holmes bounced back for another 1-2-3 inning in the fifth, needing just seven pitches for two groundouts and his sixth K. That would be all for Holmes though, as he finished after 5.0 IP and 75 pitches. He allowed two runs on three hits with six strikeouts and a walk. David Peterson remains the only Mets starter to complete the sixth inning since Holmes did on June 7 (h/t Laura Albanese). -- Gregory Soto replaced Holmes in the sixth and avoided trouble after hitting the leadoff man by retiring the next three Guardians. Tyler Rogers entered in the seventh and got the first two Guardians out before allowing three-straight singles, including an RBI-single up the middle to Steven Kwan as Cleveland took a 3-2 lead. Rogers then hit Daniel Schneemann in the hand to load the bases, but luckily got star José Ramírez to ground out to first to end the inning. -- New York's hitting woes continued for the rest of the game, failing to get a hit after McNeil's leadoff single in the fourth inning. 14 straight Mets went down to end the game following Juan Soto's one-out walk in the fifth inning. Marte, Lindor, Soto, Nimmo, and Francisco Alvarez all went hitless. -- Brooks Raley and Ryan Helsley both tossed 1-2-3 frames in the eighth and ninth innings, respectively. Game MVP: Steven Kwan Kwan went 2-for-4 with the go-ahead RBI in the seventh inning. Highlights What's next The Mets' three-game series with the Guardians concludes Wednesday afternoon at Citi Field. First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. LHP David Peterson (7-4, 2.83 ERA) goes up against RHP Gavin Williams (6-4, 3.33 ERA).
