PLANS are afoot to build 12 new homes on the site of the old health centre in Tywyn.

Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd are in the early stages of procuring and obtaining planning permission for the development adjacent to Pier Road.

With high demand for more social rented homes in the area, the proposal includes one block of eight flats designated for the disabled and/or 55 and over, along with four family houses.

Both these types of units will help meet the local demand in the area, a CCG spokesperson suggests.

On Tuesday, 10 August, CCG are holding a drop-in session for local resident to see the proposed plans.

This will be an opportunity to see the planned development and an opportunity for people to share their opinions.

Staff members from CCG will be present to answer any questions.

The consultation event will take place at the Baptist Church between 3-6pm and is open to all.

A spokesperson for CCG said: “We are also in the process of trying to procure a contractor for the development, which is currently being advertised on the Sell2Wales website and is open to all contractors.”
