Plans lodged for 2,000 home Swansea scheme

Llanmoor Homes has submitted outline plans for a development of almost 2,000 houses in the Llangyfelach district of Swansea.The new development, to be known as Pentref Rhostir (Moorland Village), will be located just off the B449 Swansea Road in the north, and will link by a new road to Mynydd Newydd Road in the south.The overall site covers a total area of about 285 acres and will consist of about 1,950 new dwellings, including affordable homes.It will also include a district centre featuring shops and restaurants, a new primary school, a network of interlinked green spaces, equipped play areas, sports pitches and changing room facilities.This site has been allocated for residential development in the emerging Swansea City Council Local Development Plan (LDP), which was recently approved by the council’s cabinet and is now subject to Welsh Government scrutiny at the LDP Inquiry to be held in 2018.
