📢 Exciting or concerning? Plans for 60 new homes in the Caerphilly borough are stirring local debate. Proposed for a field near Valley View and Forest Avenue in Cefn Hengoed, the development seeks to address the pressing need for housing by offering a mix of houses and flats.
🏠 The developers, Hopgrove Construction and United Welsh, argue the project is sustainable and essential for meeting local housing demands. They claim it will encourage more sustainable living and provide much-needed affordable homes.
🤔 However, not everyone is convinced. Local councillors, including Cllr Teresa Parry, have expressed worries about the impact on public rights of way, potential disruption, and access issues. Concerns over possible mine workings on the site have also been raised, and Cllr Charlotte Bishop emphasises the importance of respecting community voices.
🗓️ Share your thoughts! The planning application is now open for public consultation. Check it out on the Caerphilly County Borough Council website, reference 26/0282/FULL.
