Part of a major housing development in Barry was left under water at high tide on Saturday. Pictures on Saturday morning during high tide showed homes still being built on Barry waterfront partly submerged in water.
Once the largest coal export port in the world, Barry Dock has undergone major redevelopment over the past few years including plans for 2,000 homes, a waterfront café quarter, a retail centre and public open space. Hundreds of homes have already been built by developers Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon Homes and Barratt Homes, with more currently under construction.
The concerning pictures from a local resident on Saturday at around 9am showed large parts of the partially-built houses partly submerged in water. Several hours later, the water levels had dropped but locals said they were worried about the water levels.
