PROPOSALS for 17 new homes in Abertridwr have won planning permission following an agreement over affordable housing.
The applicants, Gwen Gould and Ann Kinor, have proposed building a mixture of houses and flats on land at the eastern end of the village’s Coedcae Road.
Two four-bedroom houses, nine two-bedroom apartments and six one-bedroom apartments have been earmarked for the “open land with no current use”.
A bid for outline planning permission was first submitted in January 2024 – and has now been approved after the applicants and Caerphilly County Borough Council signed a so-called Section 106 agreement.
That deal secures around £124,000 towards the provision of off-site affordable housing within the county borough, and will be payable when the eighth of the proposed new homes becomes occupied.
