A church in Crosskeys could be demolished to make way for a block of flats.

Plans have been submitted to Caerphilly County Borough Council to demolish St Catherine’s Church and build 17 affordable one-bedroom flats and a garden.

The plans were submitted by Asbri Planning on behalf of Your Space Projects – a Cardiff based developer that designs, builds and renovates properties.

If approved, no car parking spaces will be provided as part of the development, therefore residents would have to rely on off-street parking and the proposed bike stands.

The lack of car parking is justified in the design and access statement submitted as part of the plans. It states that the former church site is in a “sustainable location”, meaning it is close to public transport links, shops and other facilities.

The church building, which is on Gladstone Street, closed in December 2017. It is not a listed building and therefore is not protected.

Before its closure, the church was previously used as a community centre.
