Plans have been approved to transform Caerphilly's former market and adjoining properties. The old Caerphilly market on Pentrebane Street closed for good in January with plans secured for a new container style market to open in September on Park Lane.
Now the council has approved plans which will redevelop the original market site and nearby properties on Pentrebane street. The project, which is part of the Caerphilly 2035 regeneration program, will see housing association Linc Cymru build 73 new apartments along with seven commercial units to attract businesses. Accommodation will include a mix of social rent and market rent properties.
