Swansea’s most ambitious council housebuilding project in decades has hit a delay, still on pause 19 months after getting the green light! This exciting development in Bonymaen was set to bring 156 new homes, including much-needed four-bedroom houses, bungalows, and flats, to the area. Though the ground remains undisturbed, there’s lots happening behind closed doors.
Site investigations, statutory approval work, and contractor procurement are in full swing, ensuring everything’s ready for a seamless start. The council’s ultimate goal is to create 1,000 new affordable homes by 2031, having hit 431 already! With rising demand for housing, this project will be a game-changer for many families, offering them the opportunity to plant roots in our community.
Once construction kicks off, the development promises to bring not just homes, but also vibrant green spaces, play areas, and pathways for walking and cycling—perfect for fostering a thriving neighbourhood. As we eagerly await the groundbreaking, let’s keep our fingers crossed for a swift start soon! 🌳🏠
