Description
An exciting residential development opportunity situated in the sought-after village of Pontsticill, within the beautiful surroundings of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park.
The site benefits from planning under reference 21/20202/FUL, relating to land south-west of Pontsticill House, for the construction of dwellings together with associated landscaping, drainage and infrastructure.
Across the wider development layout, planning is in place for 18 units in total. The current owners are looking to retain Plots 17 and 18, with Plots 15 and 16 to be amalgamated into two retained plots for their own use. This leaves 14 units available for development, creating a rare opportunity for a developer or builder to acquire a well-positioned residential scheme in one of the area"s most attractive village settings.
The owners are also open to negotiation, which could include an agreement factoring in the build delivery of their retained units. This may appeal to buyers looking for a flexible acquisition structure or a collaborative development arrangement.
This is a rare chance to secure a development opportunity in Pontsticill, a location known for its countryside surroundings, village charm and proximity to some of South Wales" most recognised natural attractions.
Pontsticill is a picturesque village located within the county borough of Merthyr Tydfil, positioned in the Taf Fechan valley on the southern edge of the Brecon Beacons/Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. The village is closely associated with Pontsticill Reservoir and the popular Brecon Mountain Railway, both of which help make the area a recognised destination for walking, tourism, leisure and countryside living.
