Medium-density development plot with planning consent and affordable housing obligations..
Planning permission for 15 houses (ref 16/0736/13)
A cleared, elongated triangular plot beside Pantygraigwen Road with planning consent for 15 dwellings, three of which are designated Low Cost Housing Units under planning reference 16/0736/13. The site sits within a mile of Pontypridd train station and offers direct access to the A470, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — attributes that support medium-density residential development for sale or rent.
This opportunity suits a developer or investor prepared to meet planning obligations: submit a Habitat Management Plan and a Low Cost Housing scheme pre-commencement, provide three low-cost units, and comply with the restriction preventing occupation of more than 80% of open-market units until nominated purchasers have received the low-cost units. Tenure and council tax details are unknown and should be clarified before exchange.
The immediate area is classed as very deprived, which affects local demand profiles and may influence rental values and grant eligibility. There are existing residential zones nearby and community amenities within walking distance, which will help market the new homes, but buyers should factor in any additional site works for landscaping, infrastructure connections, or mitigation measures required by the habitat plan.
Priced at £450,000 for the parcel, this plot presents clear development potential for medium-density housing with built-in affordable provision. Suitable for experienced developers or housing associations able to navigate pre-commencement submissions and local-area socio-economic factors.
