There were no objections at the panel’s meeting yesterday when members approved the scheme to demolish Highworth, 1 and 2 St Ives and glasshouses at field 274 to build 23 houses and 19 flats. The site is at Pontac.

St Clement Constable Len Norman said that he was ‘very pleased’ with the result.

‘This is something the parish have been working on for many years. I am delighted that plans are at last coming to fruition.’
