Up to 230 new houses and flats have been proposed on woodland near Gowerton railway station, and many more could follow. The outline plans include a transport hub, plaza, green spaces, play areas and cycle paths. The hub would feature a park and ride with 50 spaces, bus stops and bike storage.
There would be a range of different house types, and flats in buildings up to four storeys high - all accessed by what would be a continuation of Fairwood Terrace to the west. The outline plans indicate that 15 per cent of the properties would be classed as affordable.
A spokesman for the developer, Persimmon Homes West Wales, said: "Our proposed development off Fairwood Terrace could deliver 230 quality homes for local families and first-time buyers, giving local people the opportunity to remain in the area, as well as creating jobs and boosting the local economy. Substantial investment would also be made available to improve public services in the area, and a number of new homes would be transferred to a local housing association for the provision of social housing for local people."- You can get more Swansea news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
