Major 250‑home Bryncoch development back on the table as new plans revealed

Long‑running scheme re‑emerges

A huge proposal to build a 250‑home estate at Leiros Parc has resurfaced as Codi Group — the new housing association formed from the merger of Pobl and Linc Cymru — opens a fresh round of public consultation.

The 11.8‑hectare site sits above Caewern on a sharp south‑facing slope. It is currently farmland, scrub and a former farmyard, but the new outline plans show one of the largest housing developments proposed in Neath in years.

The scheme includes homes, a small community hub, allotments, play areas, new walking and cycling routes, a bus loop and large areas of public open space.

Years of testing and design work

The Design and Access Statement shows the project has been in development for almost a decade. Site investigations began in 2017, with coal mining risk assessments, soil testing, drainage studies and topographical surveys carried out over several years.

Earlier versions of the layout were drawn up long before Codi Group existed, indicating the scheme has been progressing quietly in the background.

Contaminated soil across the site

One of the most significant findings is the discovery of elevated arsenic levels in the shallow soils across the entire site. The proposed solution is to cap the land with buildings, hardstanding and 600mm of clean imported soil in gardens and landscaped areas.

Coal seams were also identified, but engineers say the risk from old workings is negligible.

Steep terrain shapes the development

The DAS describes the slope as the site’s biggest constraint, with long cross‑sections showing how sharply the land falls away. The terrain dictates the road layout, drainage strategy and the distribution of open space.

Drainage tests show mixed results, meaning the estate will rely heavily on Sustainable Drainage Systems, including swales and soakaways. The scheme will require separate SAB approval alongside planning.

A network of high‑voltage overhead power lines crosses the land and may need to be buried to allow development.

Access, footpaths and green buffers

Access would come from Daphne Road, with a secondary pedestrian, cycle and emergency route from Leiros Parc Drive. A public right of way running through the fields would be retained and linked into new routes.

Large areas of the site are set aside as woodland buffers and “eco‑tone planting”, creating green separation between the homes and surrounding landscape. The plans also include a community park, kick‑about area and several small play spaces.

Allocated housing land with affordability requirement

The land is already allocated for housing under Neath Port Talbot’s Local Development Plan, with a requirement for 25% affordable housing. As a housing association‑led scheme, the final proportion could be higher, though this is not confirmed in the outline documents.

Residents can now comment on the plans through the statutory pre‑application consultation run by Asbri Planning. A full planning application will follow once the consultation closes on 16 February 2026.

I updated several Discussion threads for King's Lynn and West Norfolk Bike Users Group on #Cyclescape following yesterday's meeting but there's still more to do when I have time. Any help welcome.

#KLWNBUG #space4cycling #PlanningApplication #WestNorfolk

#KLWNBUG #PlanningApplication #2400608O outline for 5 flats in South Lynn approved because apparently making everyone do 3 sides of a rectangle, incl 2 on roads without pavements, to access shops is acceptable if it's a small distance and National Planning Policy Framework paragraph 117 "give priority first to pedestrian and cycle movements, both within the scheme and with neighbouring areas; and [...] minimise the scope for conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles" can get stuffed!

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401914F #Emneth service station #rejected primarily for "additional noise generating equipment in close proximity to the residential neighbours"

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2402270F #Hardwick #Aldi replaces the planned #Lidl and it's OK but still not up to current #cycleparking standards: no priority entrance and further from the door than some regular car parking. I'll ask #KLWNBUG to remind them.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401969FM #NorthLynn almost there! The #Norfolk Parking Standards require the #cycleparking racks to be nearer the door than regular car spaces, not dumped on the far side by a substation, and for foot/cycle access to have priority over cars. I'll ask #KLWNBUG to remind them.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401914F #Emneth service station with much bigger shop yet still no #cycleParking (or access from #space4cycling but there are other properties in the way). I'll suggest #KLWNBUG requests parking.

#Norfolk #PlanningApplication #FUL20240045 #kingsLynn #Library - It has some #cycleParking (more than the old library which has none) but is it enough? Is it as much as #KLWNBUG hoped?

#2100152RMM #WestNorfolk #planningApplication #conditionDischarge for the major estate at #DenverHill - really don't think this cycleway to London Road should be split if so narrow and if it is, that tactile paving should be flat-top not corduroy and between straights 1.2m each side to avoid being a skid hazard. #KLWNBUG

#WestNorfolk #planningApplication #2401540FM #kingslynn #queenElizabethHospital #QEHKL proposes yet another building with no #cycleparking and does everything to retain car parking. I'll ask #KLWNBUG to object

#WestNorfolk #planningApplication #2401553F #kingslynn #HardwickIndEst #octoputts tries again but still 18 car spaces with no #cycleparking so I'll ask #KLWNBUG to object

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2400987F #KingsLynn #DevilsAlley event space might have decent #cycleParking but I will ask #KLWNBUG to comment to ask that the spacing from each other and the wall is checked.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401207F #KingsLynn More flats with no #cycleParking for inhabitants. Not good enough. #NorfolkCountyCouncil has objected and I'll ask #KLWNBUG to support them.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2400873FM #HardwickIndEst #kingsLynn yet another workplace planned to have car parking, HGV space but not even the minimum #cycleParking. I'll ask #KLWNBUG to object (echoing the police objection) but it's really really disappointing that developers and architects keep proposing this junk. It as if the #climateEmergency doesn't exist for them yet, despite this one backing onto a major drain (waterway).

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2400622FM #StJamesMedical #KingsLynn continue their epic #fail on #cycleParking now including "storage for 11 cycles" with a plan that clearly shows only 4 cycles can be put in their storage room without blocking other cycles in! #KLWNBUG already objected

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401056F has some #cycleParking shown on the plans but not on the other paperwork and it's not easy to tell what type it is or how much of it there is. Objected for #KLWNBUG, unilaterally due to short deadline.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2302164F A "Food To Go Pod" at the #Gaywood Jet #ServiceStation approved with bonkers reasons: "It is expected that cyclists would dismount prior to entering the site and use the pedestrian provisions [...] customer visits are likely to be short in duration and would not be sufficiently necessary to insist on #cycleParking." WTF does this mean? Does this officer think bikes not locked to anything are slow to steal, or what???

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2400380F #LittleMassingham Manor, new B&B and an additional treatment room. The really stupid thing about this one is that its planning statement claims "the site offers opportunities to travel by modes other than private car" but the application has no #cycleParking. So you can travel to it by cycle, but not park there! 🤦 says #KLWNBUG, I reckon.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2400622FM #StJamesMedical #KingsLynn continue their epic fail on #cycleParking now with 11 flats in their old building where every flat can park a car, but less than half can park a bike and even that's only in with the communal bins (ewwww). Completely unacceptable. I'll ask #KLWNBUG to put a very full objection in.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2400672F Old Piggery Manor Farm #RunctonHolme conversion to a holiday let, on #ncn11 but no cycle storage or #cycleParking nor mention of cycle tourism in the planning statement. #KLWNBUG may comment.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2302066FM #Sandringham B1439 campsite with cycle parking and cycle wash but rather light on details and the site layout isn't really in line with current policy. Will ask #KLWNBUG for opinion tonight.

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2302015F #Emneth #SweetThingsSavoury cafe retrospective application. Adds 4 car parking spaces but still no cycle parking for customers or workers so I'll ask #KLWNBUG to object.
