Plans to redevelop a former care home in the Rhondda into accommodation for people with learning disabilities are going before the council’s planning committee. An application from Rhondda Cynon Taf Council for the redevelopment of the Bronllwyn care home on Colwyn Road in Gelli is due to be considered by the planning committee on Thursday, April 20.
The application would see the demolition of the existing buildings at the site as well as landscaping, sustainable drainage, access, parking and associated works carried out. The development would be spread over three floors made up of 13 en-suite bedrooms and one "respite" bedroom.
A large courtyard and garden would also be included to the west of the building, which the report said would provide residents and staff an area of outside amenity space. And the development would use the existing access for vehicles from Colwyn Road and Smith Street with the main parking located to the north of the building and an additional parking area made up of two spaces located to the east.
