Exciting news for Pontycymer! Plans are in the works to transform the old Garw Valley colliery site into a vibrant community space with 31 affordable homes. This new development off Victoria Street promises to offer a mix of bungalows, two-storey homes, and apartments tailored for diverse needs, ranging from one to four bedrooms.
Nestled conveniently near a rugby club, GP surgery, and pharmacy, the site is set to rejuvenate the area while maintaining its historic charm. This brownfield project traces its roots back to the Ffaldau Colliery and has seen various proposals over the years. Now, it’s closer than ever to becoming a reality!
The proposed layout shows the homes flanking a new road extending from the current Victoria Street access. Although some residents expressed concerns about increased traffic and narrow access points, no formal objections were recorded from local councils during the pre-application consultation.
Keep an eye out – these plans will soon be up for consideration by the council’s planning department. A promising step for future homeowners and a boost for the local community! 🏡✨
