A major housing boost is coming to Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan! Two councils have teamed up with Lovell Partnerships to launch a game-changing project featuring 2,500 new homes, with 1,600 being council houses. This decade-long initiative kicks off in December 2025 and aims to tackle the housing crisis by offering high-quality, affordable homes that will transform local communities.
Key sites include the former New Penn pub in Llanedeyrn, the massive Gasworks site in Grangetown, and Atlantic Wharf in Butetown, plus developments in areas like Splott, Canton, and Riverside. Expect a mix of home sizes and styles across 25 strategic locations.
In the Vale, fresh housing will pop up in Barry, Penarth, and Llantwit Major, including exciting regeneration projects along Barry waterfront and Penarth’s Older Persons Village. More than half of the new homes in these areas will be affordable, aligning with the Vale’s commitment to sustainability and carbon neutrality.
Cardiff’s Council Leader calls this collaboration a proud moment, promising much-needed affordable housing, economic support, and new community facilities. Meanwhile, the Vale of Glamorgan’s council emphasises the energy efficiency and sustainable building methods, moving towards a greener future.
Stay tuned for more updates on how these transformative developments will turn housing dreams into reality across Cardiff and the Vale! 🏡🌟
