Taking the lead
Selected as lead developer in December 2013, Redrow has led from the outset shaping the masterplan for Plasdŵr. This important work was carried out alongside landowners Plymouth Estates, Cardiff Council, a team of expert consultants and the local community.
A garden city for the 21st century
From the outset, Plasdŵr has been planned using Redrow’s placemaking principles and inspired by Ebenezer Howard’s ideal. Characterised by a vibrant ‘town centre’ with green spines radiating from it, and five district neighbourhoods, each with its own character, Plasdŵr will be a flagship example of garden city planning.
Sustainable community
To ensure its sustainability, Plasdŵr has been designed so residents have everything they need within the community including four dual or triple entry primary schools, plus a secondary school with up to 2,000 places. Community facilities will feature throughout Plasdŵr, with one main centre featuring shops, offices and community buildings and three further local centres each with a central square and a primary school. Providing an abundance of informal and formal areas of green space has been key to creating the garden city environment at Plasdŵr.
The community at Plasdŵr has an opportunity to embrace a new way of living. If new residents throw themselves into a culture of active travel, sustainable living and community, Plasdŵr has the potential to be an inspiring example for other developments."
