A developer wants to build clusters of eco-homes in a valley in Swansea, and is keen to hear people's views about it. Short Bros Homes Ltd is proposing just over 200 houses on 50 acres of land in the Cockett Valley, Waunarlwydd, in what it described as a low-density parkland-style project which would help meet local needs.
Michael Kavanagh, development director at the Llanelli-based company, said the homes would be high quality, very energy-efficient, have an electric vehicle charging point each, and only take up around seven per cent of the proposed site. "We want people to have lots of views and grassed areas," he said.
A public briefing about the scheme - called Fforest Fawr - is due to take place from 3pm to 7pm on Thursday, July 28, at Waunarlwydd Rugby Club, Roseland Road. One resident who has opposed previous previous housebuilding plans for the land in question said: "They will have a fight on their hands."
