Campaign to halt development of Carmarthenshire quarry

Campaigners have hit out at plans to build a recycling facility at a quarry they say has become a haven for wildlife after 20 years of disuse.

Dolawen Cyf proposes to recycle building waste at Cilyrychen quarry, near Llandybie, Carmarthenshire.

But Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and local residents have raised concerns over protected species and pollution as a result of the plans.

The company said it had taken the concerns on board.

Wildlife has returned to Cilyrychen quarry since it stopped operating in 2022, with nearby land designated a Special Area of Conservation.

It includes the Pantllyn Turlough, the only known turlough lake on the UK mainland.

The area is also home to a nesting pair of peregrine falcons, bats, adders and dormice, according to local residents.

They said the proposals by Dolawen Cyf, a subsidiary of Ammanford-based TRJ, will not only damage wildlife, but increase pollution.

"The application is ridiculous in this beautiful part of Wales with such a rich heritage and rich culture - to destroy that just doesn't make any sense," said David Harrold.

"It's not the product itself - we need crushed stone to build roads - but there's plenty of other brownfield sites in Wales."

Mr Harrold, who is also a member of the Save Cilyrychen Quarry group, added noise from lorries was also a concern.

More than 600 people have signed a petition objecting to the development.
