Plans for 460 homes in the south of Rhondda Cynon Taf look set to be given final approval. An application to deal with the appearance, landscaping, layout and scale of the plan from Taylor Wimpey for land west of the A4119 at Cefn yr Hendy is due to go before the council’s planning committee on Thursday, March 9.
The application, which includes a “local centre”, went before the planning committee in January with a recommendation that permission is granted. At the meeting, councillors expressed concerns regarding the relationship of the development (specifically plots 1-4) to the rear of existing properties in Bryn Dewi Sant.
The committee decided to defer it for further consideration to give the applicant the opportunity to revise the scheme in order to address these concerns. A revised site layout was then submitted on February 7 which removes plots 1-4 as originally proposed, to the rear of Bryn Dewi Sant.
