PLANS for a new ski slope and leisure resort in South Wales have just taken a huge step towards becoming a reality.

- ANTHONY LEWIS Local Democracy Reporter

Merthyr Tydfil County Council has confirmed that it has received a letter from the Welsh Government to confirm that the Rhydycar West planning application will not be called in but instead be passed back to Merthyr Tydfil council to determine.

The council's planning committee gave its backing to the plans back in March and now the application will come back before them early in the new year for a final decision to be made.

At the meeting in March, committee voted unanimously against the recommendation within the report which was to refuse the application, essentially showing their support for the development.

Councillors spoke about the economic benefits it could bring to the town and the opportunities it could hold for future generations.
