Plans for a long-awaited health centre in Llanbradach have been submitted to Caerphilly Council.
The new centre, which is earmarked to be built on the former church hall site on Pencerrig Street, will house the village’s two existing GP practices and serve around 5,000 patients.
Apollo Projects of Cardiff has submitted a planning application to pull down the existing Church Hall and build a new GP surgery centre, including car and cycle parking.
Developers Apollo Projects hope to receive approval for the scheme this month.
Plaid Cymru ward councillor Colin Mann said: “After more than a decade on the drawing board, it is pleasing to see that a planning application has been submitted.”
Fellow Plaid Cymru councillor Rob Gough added: “People in Llanbradach have waited a very long time. They deserve medical facilities that are suitable for the 21st Century.”
Housing association United Welsh, which bought the site from the Church of Wales, will also build ten flats as part of the project.
Good afternoon
Will these developments impact on parking for current residents of Pencerrig Street?
