Housebuilder Persimmon Homes has bought land in Merthyr Tydfil where it is poised to construct more than 100 homes. The significant housing development is based in Twynyrodyn, just off Elm Tree Grove, and has full detailed planning permission for 121 dwellings. It will include a mix of homes, from one to five-bed properties.
The land purchase will now see a substantial work programme undertaken on site with the scheme also set to deliver a new access road and junction. The proposals for the development include a significant area of open green space in the northern part of the site which will include climbing boulders, balancing logs and grassed mounds, according to Persimmon.
In the southern part of the site, there will be a large multi-functional area of open green space, which will form part of a sustainable drainage scheme for the development. An active travel route will also be installed along the main highway in the western part of the site for pedestrians and cyclists, linking to the playground and Penheolferthyr to the north, and the open spaces and existing trails to the south.
