A DEVELOPER is set to be granted another time extension for proposals to build 95 homes in Maesycwmmer.
Outline permission for the development was first granted in 2009, when a then-Welsh Assembly Government planning inspector overturned a Caerphilly Council decision.
The local authority had originally turned down the proposals for the homes on land near Gellideg Lane.
Since the inspector’s decision, the council has approved a series of requests to allow more time for the developer to submit an application for so-called reserved matters – which cover the more specific details of proposed developments.
The council’s planning committee met on Wednesday November 11 to consider a new bid to grant an additional three years for a reserved matters application.
Members agreed unanimously to grant the extension if the applicant, Newbridge Construction Limited, enters into a Section 106 agreement covering the provision of affordable housing, road improvements, ecological works and public open spaces.
