Candidate Sites Register (January 2025)
Heads of the Valleys
Please Note:
Where more than one submission has been made for the same site only one of the sites has been identified as being suitable for further consideration, to avoid duplication. This applies to the following sites:
- HOV004, HOV006 and HOV007 Land at Coed-y-Brain House, Aberbargoed (Duplicate sites – use HOV110 boundary)
Where candidate sites already have planning permission, they are included as committed housing sites as the principle of development has already been established. They will therefore not be considered further as potential allocations in the plan in order to avoid double counting. This applies to the following sites:
- HOV009 Land at Former Station House
- HOV020 Former Aldi site, Rhymney
