The '15-minute' Welsh village with 1,800 homes where nothing will be more than a quarter of an hour away

The huge site of a former BP oil refinery is set to see more than 1,800 new homes, a new school and new shops being built, if planning permission is approved.

St Modwen Developments, a property developer which constructs and develops homes across the UK, has approached Neath Port Talbot Council for permission to expand the Coed Darcy neighbourhood, located just off junction 43 of the M4 motorway in Llandarcy, Neath.

It also wants to see units for “commercial activities and employment uses,” there, along with large areas of open space and transport links.
