Plans to transform a former sheltered housing site in Pontywaun into 16 new affordable homes are moving forward.
Caerphilly County Borough Council has confirmed it will work with contractor Jones Brothers (Henllan) Ltd to redevelop the site of the former Castle Court sheltered housing scheme.
Jones Brothers was appointed following a competitive procurement process and will work alongside the council’s Caerphilly Homes team to deliver 16 affordable and energy-efficient homes.
The development is intended to help meet local housing needs while bringing the currently underused site back into use.
Preparatory work is expected to begin in the coming months, with demolition of the existing building planned for early autumn before construction gets underway.
Cllr Shayne Cook, Caerphilly Council’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Housing, said “This is an exciting milestone for the project and for the local community. These new homes will provide much-needed, high-quality housing while breathing new life into an underused site. We’re looking forward to working with Jones Brothers to deliver a development that will benefit local people for years to come.”
Jones Brothers is described as one of the leading civil engineering and construction companies in South Wales.
Gareth Jones, Managing Director at Jones Brothers, added “We are delighted to be working with Caerphilly Homes to bring 16 high-quality, sustainable and affordable homes to Pontywaun, and we look forward to playing our part in the regeneration of the site.”
Residents will receive regular updates as the development progresses, including advance notice of key construction activities.
