Another long-term asset is this flat 4.5 acre site in Cwmgors, between Pontardawe and Ammanford. The site benefits form a (lapsed) planning permission for 60 dwellings, although due to recent regulatory changes, this is now more likely to be c45 dwellings. We are in the early stages of refreshing the planning status of the site with a view to constructing a scheme of affordable housing to serve the local community, which has suffered from a lack of investment in its housing stock for many years. We aim to submit a planning application later in 2024, once various investigations and studies have been concluded.

This site, located alongside the Swansea Canal and just 200m from the town centre benefits from planning permission for 15 industrial starter units of c.1400 sqft each which we secured earlier in 2024. We are in the process of discharging the various planning conditions to allow us a start on site. The land is owned by Bluefield and has already been cleared of all buildings etc. Our intention at present is to build the scheme ourselves, but as this is non-core business to us, we could potentially dispose of this site to a commercial developer instead.
