Plans for 11 more homes and office units at Llandysul’s former school have been approved, but none will be affordable.

Permission for the latest phase at the former Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi site was recommended for approval at Ceredigion County Council’s development management committee meeting on 11 November.

The school closed in 2016 after the nearby Ysgol Bro Teifi was built, and the site is being redeveloped for business and residential use.

The wider former Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi site has already undergone major redevelopment, and the latest application proposes 11 flats and four office units.

A 2024 scheme was approved for 30 homes, including six discounted-for-sale affordable homes, while a 2025 scheme for 15 homes, including five created by converting the former schoolhouse, was also approved and included four more discounted-for-sale affordable homes.

An officer’s report said the application would create 11 homes and four offices by converting a vacant former school building, adding another phase to the site’s redevelopment, while planning permission had already been granted for business and employment uses there.

The scheme would provide one and two-bedroom flats.

The report said the former school site had been identified as “a location for future housing and community-based redevelopment following the relocation of the school”.

Members heard the scheme would normally include 20 per cent affordable housing on site, but the applicant’s viability assessment said that would make it financially unviable.

The committee was told a “Grampian” condition would prevent anyone moving into the homes before December 31 because Llandysul Waste Water Treatment Works is failing to meet its Flow Passed Forward (FPF) permit requirements, with Dŵr Cymru’s work expected to be completed by then.

Members approved the application subject to conditions.

The 2025 phase also included a new estate road providing access from Llyn Y Fran Road, built to adoptable standards.
