Bridgend-based housing association Valleys to Coast and home builders Persimmon Homes West Wales have marked the transfer of 20 high-quality new homes for social rent at Michaels Grove and Morgans Walk.
The package of homes at the Parc Llanilid site comprises a mix of two-four bed homes to accommodate individuals, couples and families looking to build a life in RCT. This brings the social landlord’s total number of properties at the Parc Llanilid site to 33, forming part of Valleys to Coast’s wider commitment to provide safe, sustainable homes inside and outside of Bridgend County Borough and to grow within RCT.
In a prime location close to the M4, Parc Llanilid will comprise 1,700 homes upon completion, and long term plans for the site include a new primary school and a village centre with leisure and retail facilities.
Cllr Mark Norris, Cabinet Member for Planning at Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, said:
“I’m always impressed by the close working between Persimmon and local housing associations like Valleys to Coast whenever I visit Parc Llanilid, and it is really positive to see those relationships continue to flourish to the benefit of local people.
“These new homes, particularly the larger units, will be of great help in addressing housing need in the borough. I welcome any additions to our affordable housing stock and wish the new residents the best in their new homes.”
Rob Green, Director of Growth and Partnerships at Valleys to Coast, commented:
“Everyone deserves a safe and warm place to live, so we’re proud to be working with our partners at Persimmon, Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, and the Welsh Government to deliver more high-quality, affordable homes for local people.
“We’re particularly excited to be acquiring a mix of two-four bed homes from Persimmon to meet local need and help individuals, couples and families put down roots in RCT.”
Ryan Greaney, Land & Planning Director of Persimmon Homes West Wales, added:
“Persimmon is determined to leave a positive community legacy where we build, and an integral element of our offering is the transfer of quality new homes to local housing associations.
