Plans to transform estate with 121 homes

WHAT was once the largest public sector housing scheme in Wales could soon be completely transformed.

- 

Phase la of the Penrhys regeneration project being led by housing association Trivallis will soon be submitted to Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT) council and will involve 121 new houses being built on land to the north of Pen Tyntyla in the Rhondda village. These will comprise twoto four-bedroom homes and an apartment block, with 71 market homes and 50 affordable units.

It's part of a wider masterplan to regenerate the area, which proposes the delivery of around 850 new homes, plus a mix of uses to support the new housing.

This includes a replacement primary school, a church, community facilities, a shop and new commercial spaces.
