Next stage of homes in garden city revealed
NEW images have revealed what the next stage of the £2bn garden city being built in north-west Cardiff would look like.
South Wales firm Lewis Homes has been announced as the next developer for the Plasdwr development and is in line to build 56 new homes on a threeacre site north of Llantrisant Road.
Plans include a mix of apartments and houses ranging from one to four bedrooms, with 15% being affordable homes.
Lewis Homes would start work in the autumn if detailed planning approval is given by Cardiff council.
If given approval by the council it would form part of the first phase of Plasdwr, which includes plans for 630 homes and a 480-place primary school.
Mark Lewis, director of Lewis Homes, said: “A family-run business for over 40 years, we are delighted to have secured a site at Plasdwr and play a role in the formation of a new and vibrant community.
“With a track record for delivering high-quality residential schemes across south Wales, we are very much looking forward to bringing the proposals to life to the benefit of the future success of Cardiff.”
More than 100 homes are now occupied across Redrow’s Parc Plymouth and Cae St Fagans developments in Plasdwr, and the lead developer has also recently launched a new development, Cwrt Sant Ioan.
Bellway is also due to start work on a further 120 homes at Rhiwlas later this year.
Up to 7,000 homes will be built over the next 20 years at the Plasdwr site bordering Radyr, Fairwater, Pentrebane and St Fagans.
It will be made up of five areas including shops, offices, health and leisure centres, pubs and restaurants, plus four, smaller local centres. Four new primary schools and a secondary school are also planned for the development.
