Pontypool & District Hospital with 34 home plan for sale

Plans for housing on the former site of Pontypool and District Hospital were given the green light in 2019.

An application for 34 homes on the Hospital Road site in Pontypool was unanimously approved by Torfaen council’s planning committee at a meeting.

The outline application was first approved back in 2016 but the development was put on hold while the developers sought an agreement with council officials.

Now the land, off Hospital Road is up for sale.

The more than two acre site is available for offers in excess of £900,000.

Listed on Rightmove, the plot is being sold by Parkmans, Risca.
