A proposal by Tai Calon to build 32 houses and 18 flats on a 4.5-acre site in Ebbw Vale is set to be decided by Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council’s Planning Committee. The council requested £99,840 for children’s play facilities and £180,906 for school places. Tai Calon stated that the project would not be financially viable if the council insisted on a payment exceeding £280,000.
