Exciting times ahead for Barry! A fresh housing development has just been proposed for land east of Barry Docks, aiming to bring 70 stylish homes to the neighbourhood. This plan is part of a broader project to deliver 2,500 homes across the region by 2035. The masterminds behind this proposal, Lovell, and the Vale of Glamorgan Council, are committed to building a vibrant and inclusive community.
The new homes promise a blend of modern design and traditional aesthetics, with features like pitched roofs and grey-framed windows set in two-tone brickwork for a chic finish. But it’s not just about looks; the homes are designed with a low-carbon approach for maximum comfort and affordability.
The development will offer a diverse range of housing, from one and two-bedroom apartments to family homes, and even accessible options to cater to different needs. The area will foster a neighbourly vibe with landscaped communal spaces perfect for socialising and relaxation.
Accessibility is a key focus, with the development designed as a cul-de-sac to keep traffic minimal, making it a peaceful spot to call home. There’s a green touch too, with plans to plant native trees and install thoughtful landscaping to enrich biodiversity. Plus, the existing tree-lined buffers will provide natural screening, enhancing visual appeal and privacy.
This is stage two of a larger housing project extending north with 86 houses in total. So, Barry residents, prepare for a transformative and sustainable community that addresses local housing needs while benefiting the environment. Keep an eye out for the council’s decision on March 24th! 🌳🏡🌟
