Castlegate, Caerphilly

The Castlegate development 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 will be constructed to Lifetime Homes standard.

The development will provide 48 affordable new homes:

12 one bedroom apartments

The entire Castlegate site totals approximately 50 acres and was formerly a brown field site.

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.
