A deal has been signed for the latest phase of homes at Plasdŵr, a major development in west Cardiff that aims to deliver 7,000 homes.
Porth yr Awen development details
House builder Edenstone Homes and the Codi Group, a housing society, will build 184 new homes at Porth yr Awen, a £55m development bordering Radyr, Danescourt, Fairwater, Pentrebane, and St Fagans. The development will include 127 open-market properties and 57 affordable homes, offering one, two, three, and four-bedroom homes and flats.
First homes are due to be put on the market in early 2027, with the first residents expected to move in later that year.
Infrastructure and community plans
Edenstone operations director Chris Edge said the first works will be a new spine road into Porth yr Awen, creating access for infrastructure works.
Simon Lewis, development manager at Codi, said: "Every new development like this helps us provide more affordable homes for people who need them while creating places where communities can grow and thrive."
Background of Plasdŵr
Planning permission for the first 630 homes was granted in 2016, with outline permission for the remainder of the 7,000 homes approved in 2017. Since then, individual parts of the development have been approved intermittently.
The Plasdŵr development website states: "As Plasdwr emerges over the next generation it will bring more and more quality facilities for residents, neighbours, and visitors from further afield including one secondary and four primary schools, a district centre with shops, bars, and restaurants, parks, playing fields, allotments, and healthcare services." It adds: "With construction of the first primary school under way Plasdwr is beginning to emerge. While further infrastructure is built over time the first Plasdwr residents have become part of their neighbouring communities."
