New vision for Neath Valley's Rheola Estate
Neath Port Talbot (NPT) Council is to consider a masterplan for the future of the Rheola Estate in the Neath Valley, South Wales, which has been produced in collaboration with the site's owner.
A leisure complex housing a swimming pool; a spa; a gym; a restaurant; and a bar is among the plans for the estate, along with holiday log cabins and a residential development.
The council said the residential development is required in order to provide funding towards the leisure and tourism element at the 95-acre (38.4-hectare) Rheola Estate.
According to NPT, the estate is situated close to the Waterfall Country and is in an area that already attracts visitors. The plans also comply with the NPT tourism and leisure strategy.
An outline planning application has been submitted by Cardiff-based group, The Urbanists, on behalf of R M Rees (Contractors) and is currently awaiting consideration.
NPT head of regeneration Gareth Nutt said: "There has been interest shown by industrialists to develop the site but the council sees the future regeneration of the estate and this part of the valley focussing on tourism and leisure.
"This is a beautiful part of the Neath Valley and this masterplan will act as a catalyst to bring forward the council's aspirations for the valley."
