More than 100 new homes set to be approved for controversial Merthyr Tydfil site

Plans for more than 100 houses in Merthyr Tydfil are set for a final decision from councillors after officers said they should be allowed to go ahead, despite large-scale opposition.

The Persimmon Homes application for 121 houses on land off Elm Tree Grove in Twynyrodyn is due to be considered by the council’s planning committee on Wednesday, October 19.

A site visit took place before the committee meeting on August 24 and members later voted to defer the application to give themselves the opportunity to review technical reports submitted in support of the application. The proposed residential development would include 12 affordable homes along with one to five-bedroom detached, semi-detached and terraced properties.
