Tai Tarian given go-ahead for two new developments
Tai Tarian has unveiled plans for two major housing developments.
The Neath Port Talbot-based social housing provider has had the go-ahead to build a total of 77 new homes across two sites. 25 properties will be built at Pant Celydd in Margam whilst a further 52 will be built off Meadow Road in Neath.
The Margam development will see a variety of property types built including flats, and family homes. Local builders, CJ Construction will build the properties with work due to start in the spring and expected to take around 18 months to complete.
At Eaglesbush Valley, just off Meadow Road in Neath, Tai Tarian and their partners Jones Brothers will build a total of 52 new properties, in what is one of the organisation’s biggest developments to date. Once again, the project will consist of a variety of properties, including flats, large family homes and bungalows.
As with all recent Tai Tarian builds, the new properties will be environmentally friendly, containing features such as high levels of insulation, highly efficient heating systems and integrated solar panels. They will also feature extra ventilation and LED lighting.
As well as starting work on these two new projects, work is also continuing at five other sites.
At Sandfields in Port Talbot, a major refurbishment is underway of the County Flats on Aberavon seafront. This landmark project is seeing the housing provider build 55 new flats and completely renovate a further 72. The project will use innovative technology and cutting-edge construction methods to create some of the most sustainable homes in Wales.
Elsewhere, work is continuing at Cae Nant Terrace in Skewen and Windsor Road in Neath, whilst developments at Melin Close in Melin and Llys Wern in Caewern are nearing completion.
Speaking about the new developments, Tai Tarian Chief Executive, Linda Whittaker said:
“Building new, sustainable homes for rent is a big part of what we do. Over the past few years, we have built almost 100 homes and I am delighted to see that our programme will be continuing in 2022 with these two new developments.
“There is a demand for affordable, energy efficient homes and by building a range of houses, flats and bungalows we can ensure that the needs of the people in our communities are met.
“We are also pleased that local construction companies CJ Construction and Jones Brothers are undertaking these projects. This ensures that as much of our investment as possible remains in the local economy and benefits our communities. We also know the homes they build will be of the highest quality.”
The Pant Celydd development will consist of 25 units:
- 16 x 1-bed flat
- 4 x 2-bed flat
- 4 x 2-bed houses
- 1 x 3-bed house
52 units will be built at Eaglesbush
