The property developer for the Coed Darcy housing estate near Neath has submitted an application to Neath Port Talbot Council for outline planning permission to build 1,800 new homes.
St. Modwen Developments registered the new planning application earlier this week, covering around 316 acres of the former 1,000-acre BP oil refinery near Llandarcy.
Aside from 1,800 sustainable and low-carbon homes, the application also includes land for a new school, commercial activities and employed uses, as well as large areas of public open space and landscaping.
