Exciting news for Cardiff! π The green light has been given for a brand-new affordable housing development on the land of the old Fairwater Social & Athletic Club. A total of 14 homes are set to be constructed, offering much-needed housing options to the area.


Cardiff Council is spearheading the project, ensuring that the homes are not only appealing but also energy-efficient. These new residences will feature spacious, adaptable rooms for all sorts of living needs, emphasising flexibility for future changes. One of the homes will be a specially designed bungalow tailored to support individuals with learning disabilities. π‘β¨

Apart from providing family-friendly housing options with a mix of semi-detached and terraced homes, the development is committed to enhancing the community’s connectivity. Residents will enjoy improved pedestrian pathways making it safer and easier to move between homes, schools, and public transport. πΆββοΈπ³
Plans include accommodating various parking needs and ensuring convenient rubbish collection points, enhancing everyday life for the community. The design also focuses on inclusivity, providing equal access for everyone, including those with limited mobility. βΏοΈ
