New affordable housing development breaks ground in Llysworney

Newydd is thrilled to announce that a new affordable housing development in Llysworney has begun.

In partnership with the Vale of Glamorgan Council and contractors Castell Group this development will provide seven affordable homes for rent, designed with an EPC A energy efficiency rating to minimise environmental impact.

The project includes four 1 and 2 bedroom flats, and three 2 bedroom houses. Supported by £1.55 million in funding from the Welsh Government’s Social Housing Grant Programme, this scheme addresses local housing needs and is set for completion by spring 2026.

Jason Wroe, Chief Executive of Cadarn Group, said: "We are excited to embark on this project, which will provide much-needed affordable housing in this rural area. These homes will be built to the highest standards of energy efficiency, benefiting both the environment and our future tenants.

“We are looking forward to the end result, ensuring local people get the opportunity to live in an affordable home within this desirable area."

Cllr Sandra Perkes, Vale of Glamorgan Council Cabinet Member for Public Sector Housing and Tenant Engagement, said: “The Vale of Glamorgan Council is delighted to be working in partnership with Newydd Housing Association on this project, which will help meet soaring demand for affordable homes.

“This is part of a wider home-building programme that has also seen a series of council housing developments completed over the last few years, with others on the way.

“It is vitally important work as we look to address the acute need for properties in the Vale.

“We are committed to providing modern, comfortable, accessible, energy efficient accommodation for residents, homes they can be proud of.

“This is the latest example of that work and a project we are very excited to support.”

Dorian Payne, Managing Director of Castell Group said: "We are proud to be delivering these high-quality, energy-efficient homes in partnership with Newydd Housing Association and the Vale of Glamorgan Council.

“At Castell Group, we are committed to building sustainable, affordable housing that makes a lasting positive impact on communities. This development in Llysworney is a great example of that commitment, and we look forward to seeing local families benefit from these much-needed homes."

To apply for a home in the Vale of Glamorgan, residents need to register with Homes4U, the housing register for the local authority.
