Exciting news for Cardiff! The sprawling Plasdwr development is set to expand even further with the addition of 177 new homes. This ambitious “garden city” project is gradually shaping a vibrant neighbourhood on the western edge of the city, promising a fusion of town and country life.
The latest approval from Cardiff Council marks a key milestone in the plan to create nearly 6,000 homes in the area. Located off Pentrebane Drive and north of St Fagans Road, the new section—dubbed ‘Pendown’—draws inspiration from the historic estate farm that once stood there.
Designed by BDW Trading Ltd, part of Barratt Redrow Plc, the new homes will range from terraced houses to semi-detached and detached properties, as well as walk-up flats. The streets will feature an array of tree plantings to enhance the garden city vibe. Each dwelling promises ample parking facilities, including options for cycle storage.
The area boasts a “holistic” layout with informal building lines and shared surfaces ensuring low traffic. This thoughtful design aims to provide a welcoming community feel with plenty of greenery. The development will transform the current species-poor grassland into a lively residential area, complete with attractive street trees and landscaped surroundings.
Stay tuned for more updates on this transformative project changing the landscape of Cardiff! 🌳🏡
