Persimmon East Wales has secured reserved matters planning permission for its latest phase at a major site in Cardiff.
Cardiff Council recently granted approval for 74 high-quality homes at Persimmon Homes East Wales’ major site at Llanilltern Village on the west of Cardiff.
The new phase of development will be known as ‘Glan y Coed’ and will provide four and five-bed detached open market homes for local families to purchase in 2025 through Persimmon’s sister brand, Charles Church.
The new 7.3-acre site will feature additional space allocated for ecological enhancements, community sports pitches and facilities, an artist led playground, and a MUGA.
East Wales region has collaborated closely with Cardiff Council throughout the process and will transfer land to the local authority to provide future changing facilities and parking. This phase will also see the enhancement of two ponds for wildlife.
The new phase builds on Persimmon’s notable presence in Cardiff, where The Parish @ Llanilltern Village, currently has 2, 3,4 and 5 bedroom homes available for purchase from £189,995 to £469,995.
The region has been active in the local area, recently donating to local groups such as Creigiau Primary School and St Fagans Cricket Club through its Community Champions initiative – which donates over £48,000 annually to good causes and organisations across Wales.
