• 5 acres  

• Residential development 

• 56 affordable homes to EPC A Rating

A deal between Castle Green Partnerships and ClwydAlyn will help deliver on an ambitious programme to deliver 1,500 affordable homes in North Wales by 2025.

Work is underway to construct 56 new homes in Mynydd Isa, Flintshire.

Full planning permission for the scheme was originally granted to ClwydAlyn in January 2021. However, when their previous contractor withdrew from the scheme, Castle Green Partnerships stepped in to ensure the delivery of these affordable homes. Enabling works started on site in August 2023, followed by a Section 73 approval in October to amend the proposed house types.

This is the first site Castle Green Partnerships is delivering for ClwydAlyn, launching what is set to be a strong and prosperous relationship.

The scheme will provide a valuable and much-needed contribution to the affordable housing deficit in Flintshire against requirements set out in the Local Development Plan.

Across the development there will be range of house types from one-bedroom apartments, to two and three-bedroom bungalows, to two and three-bedroom houses.

It is a constrained site, with significant variants in topography and areas of peat, amongst other technical issues which the Castle Green Partnerships team are set to overcome when delivering the homes.

The first homes will be ready to move into in winter 2024, with the overall development expected to be completed by autumn 2025.

The homes in Mynydd Isa are part of ClywdAlyn’s ambitious development programme to deliver 1,500 new homes in North Wales by 2025 with an overall expected investment of £250 million.

Penelope Storr, head of development & growth at ClwydAlyn said: “We are pleased to share the news of our collaboration with Castle Green to deliver 56 energy efficient affordable homes. This partnership shows our commitment to sustainable development and delivering high-quality housing options for the community.”
The homes are being built using sustainably sourced, precision-made timber frames. This is a fast, reliable method of building, with lower CO2 emissions created than that of traditional building methods.

The homes will include solar panels and batteries, air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points, ensuring they are energy efficient and cost effective to run.

To support the area’s surrounding wildlife, a bat barn will be constructed on site to facilitate roosting for local colonies. There will also be 1.5 acres of open space provided as part of the development including areas of low seeding mix and planting to benefit the microclimate.
