Plans a new housing site just outside of Cardiff that will be made up of hundreds of homes has taken another step forward.
Persimmon Homes, the developers behind The Parish housing estate in Capel Llanilltern, have confirmed Cardiff Council has approved the next stage of their scheme.
This, they said, will involve the construction of 167 new homes and a 'local centre' made up of 19,000 square metres of commercial space.
The Parish has been under development for about six years and promises to eventually deliver 1,500 homes.
Construction on the latest phase approved by Cardiff Council is expected to commence in the autumn and developers say the first homes will be ready for occupation in the second half of 2026.
Persimmon Homes East Wales managing director, Lee Hawker, said: "Persimmon is delighted to have secured planning on the next stage of our largest development in the region, one that will provide a new home for thousands of households to call their own for years to come, and we thank Cardiff Council planners for working with us to achieve this.
"We are not only proud of being able to deliver those much-needed homes in the capital - both for local people and housing associations - but the key community infrastructure we have promised throughout the process, including the much-desired local centre."
Outline planning permission for The Parish, which is being developed on land south of Creigiau and just north of junction 33 of the M4, was granted in 2018.
