Hundreds of homes planned for former Hoover factory site

PLANS to demolish the current buildings at the Hoover site in Merthyr Tydfil and build more than 400 homes there have been officially revealed.

- 

Walters Land Limited has submitted an application for up to 441 homes on the site in Pentrebach which would also include a community hub with shops, financial and professional services, food and drink, business and non-residential institutions.

It would include employment land for business, industrial and storage and distribution uses as well as open spaces including active travel routes.

An area for what the application calls a potential community heat hub has also been identified and as part of the overall strategic plans within the replacement local development plan (RLDP) it would safeguard land and access for a metro station and a new park and ride facility but the station would not be delivered as part of this planning application.
