Another site speculatively and unconditionally purchased by us, with the aim of delivering a range of dwellings for a housing association. A full planning application was submitted in October 2023, we received a resolution to grant in February 2024 and finally received a planning permission in March 2024. The development of this project will require quite a complicated demolition due to the nature of the existing buildings and ecology. After this, site remediation (including the treatment of Japanese Knotweed) will be required along with various service upgrades, to deliver our first modular scheme to the AECB equivalent of EPC A+. We aim to be on site in the summer of 2024, delivering the new homes in early 2025.

The former Bakehouse in Tondu was Bluefield’s first foray into the Housing Asssociation market. We purchased the site, carried out the demolition and remediation in house and built a substantial 10 apartment scheme for Valleys to Coast. The building has transformed the street scene and provided a scheme of much needed one-bedroom apartments.

This grade 2 listed building within Cowbridge Conservation Area poses a real challenge in balancing the meeting of modern building standards with the protection of the building’s heritage.

Our skills, experience and resource are helping us deliver what will be an exceptional end product. We agreed the purchase of this grade 2 listed property via private treaty with the aim of carefully converting it into several apartments.

We are working with the Vale of Glamorgan Council to deliver a scheme of affordable self-contained one-bed units to the 55+ market and are proposing to redevelop the former magistrates’ court to the rear of the police station as part of an overall scheme of 14 dwellings.

We speculatively purchased this site of 2.8 acres and reached a subsequent agreement with Melin Homes for the creation of 33 dwellings of varying size. This sloping site required significant earthworks and the creation of cleverly designed structures including the use of retaining walls to create space for an additional 5 apartments.
