An affordable housing development could be coming to a field in Pontlliw, near Swansea. Housing association Pobl Group wants to build 22 houses and bungalows and nine flats east of Clordir Road, a couple of hundred metres from the village's primary school.
Some residents have raised concerns though about the scale of house-building already underway or proposed in a village with a population of around 1,600. You can get more Swansea news and other story updates by subscribing to our newsletters here.
All the Pobl Group properties would be rental, according to planning documents submitted as part of a pre-planning consultation being carried out by Asbri Planning. It said the plots for the two, three and four-bedroom houses were "generous" and that the scheme would have a children's play area, new greenery - including native hedgerows - 51 parking spaces, and a shared-use path linking to Clordir Road.
