Planning permission for this £18.6 million development was granted in October 2022.

This development, built in partnership with Newydd and Powys County Council, will provide 79 homes for affordable rent to local people. It is funded in part by the Welsh Government Social Housing Grant.

It will offer a mix of 1 bedroom apartments, 2 bedroom bungalows and 2, 3 and 4 bedroom houses. These homes are in addition to 55 homes on Ithon Road already completed by Newydd in 2021.

Work has started on site by J.G. Hale Construction. It is hoped that the scheme will be completed by summer 2025.

These new timber framed homes will be fitted with air source heat pumps and will also feature photovoltaic solar panels, helping to reduce carbon footprint and energy bills. 

Other members of the design team employed on this new housing scheme include RPA Group, Smart Associates, Asbri Planning, Chamberlain Moss King, Indigo Safety Management and Fiona Cloke Associates.

Local residents interested in renting these properties need to register with Homes in Powys to apply.
