More than 250 homes are proposed for a village in the Vale of Glamorgan. Some locals have voiced concerns over traffic while others welcomed the plans' inclusion of a sports pitch.
Persimmon has submitted an application for 256 homes on 13.6 hectares of agricultural greenfield land north of the railway line in Rhoose. The developer plans to mostly use two-storey homes but there would be some with three storeys "to provide distinctiveness in street scenes". There would also be allotment space, a sports pitch, changing room and play facilities.
The scheme includes a mix of detached, semi-detached and terraced houses and blocks of flats. Most of the houses will have three or four bedrooms. Persimmon has promised to build "affordable homes which has been informed through discussions with the council", though the design and access statement does not give a number.
