Plans for more than 50 homes at a former mill site in an Anglesey village have been approved.
Williams Homes (Bala) Ltd - working with housing group ClwydAlyn - submitted plans for 54 units for the former corn mill and cattle market site in Valley. The site was described as “presently untidy” and “sorely in need of a new use to remove an unattractive site from the settlement".
Permission has now been granted for the development with hopes the homes could be ready by 2024.
Owain Williams, from Williams Homes (Bala), said: "We are pleased to have secured planning in Valley on Anglesey on an ex industrial and cattle market site, for a development of much needed affordable homes for the area. The 48 houses and six apartments will be state of the art low carbon homes with wood fibre insulation and frames that have been manufactured by inmates in our factory in HMP Berwyn using indigenous timber.

"The mixed tenure scheme is being developed in conjunction with ClwydAlyn Housing Association with the homes expected to be ready for occupation early 2024. The design team which has included Owen Devenport planning consultants and Creu Architecture have been delighted with the support the scheme has received from Anglesey council planning department, local members and the wider community."
Jamie Bradshaw, a director at Owen Devenport, said: "We were delighted to be part of the team that have secured the consent on this long derelict site. The scheme will provide a great range of affordable, modern, and sustainable houses and flats that will make a dent in the growing need for affordable homes in this part of Anglesey.
"During our consultation event there was clear support from local residents seeking new homes that they can afford, and this speaks to the need to provide more houses, both affordable and open market, to meet the needs of our communities for new homes."
