Plans to build 70 houses on land in Tonyrefail have been approved by councillors. Planning consent for the construction of 70 affordable homes on a parcel of land to the east of Hafod Wen, Tonyrefail was given by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s planning committee on Thursday, February 9.
The development, on what is an allocated housing site, will be managed on behalf of the Registered Social Landlord (RSL) Rhondda Housing Association. The site will be landscaped to form four areas of higher ground, suitable for properties, with access proposed from the adopted highway via Hafod Wen and constructed in two phases.
Initially, developers hoped to build 76 houses but later revised their proposal to 70 properties. In the first phase of the development, eight one-bed flats (of which two will be adapted), eight two-bed bungalows, two two-bed flats, two two-bed houses, three three-bed houses and four four-bed houses will be built, whilst phase two will see the construction of two one-bed flats, 22 two-bed houses, 11 three-bed houses and eight four-bed houses.
