Castlegate, Caerphilly
 

The Castlegate housing development was completed and opened in July 2008 (view opening). It is a Design & Build scheme for the construction of houses and apartments on a 3.5 acre site, and forms part of a Section 106 agreement between Caerphilly County Borough Council and the site vendors. All properties have been constructed to Lifetime Homes standard.

The development provides 48 affordable new homes:

  • 12 one bedroom apartments
  • 22 Three bedroom houses
  • 14 Four bedroom houses

The entire Castlegate site totals approximately 50 acres and was formerly a brown field site. Over the past few years substantial remediation and profiling works have been carried out by the vendor together with the provision of highways and service infrastructure. Parts of the site are now under construction with private developers.

The site will in total provide approximately 500 new homes, a Housing with Care  scheme and nursing home, doctor’s surgery, supermarket and office accommodation.
