Caerphilly-based housing association United Welsh wants to build 169 homes at Ty Du in Nelson.

According to documents published by planning firm Asbri Planning, as part of a public consultation before before a formal application to the council, 99 of these homes will be classed as “affordable” and will be used for social renting and shared ownership. The remainder of the development will be sold on the open market.

The housing will include a mix of one-bedroom flats and two, three, and four-bedroom houses and older people accommodation. All homes will be two-storeys, with the exception of the apartment block and older persons accommodation which are to be three-storeys.

In total, 269 allocated car parking spaces (excluding garages) and 40 visitor spaces are proposed for the development.

The development site also includes two public rights of way.
