Located between Neath and Swansea, LOCATION ‘Coed Darcy’ will be an entire new town on 1,300 acres of brownfield land. The Coed Darcy, Wales Studio LK team, whilst with the Prince’s Foundation, produced the masterplan and town design code for Coed Darcy. PROJECT TYPE Design Code The development of Coed Darcy is based on the principles of walkable mixed use communities with a village centre at the core of the development. A series of four CLIENT smaller local centres will connect the existing Llandarcy village and Skewen. The Welsh Development Agency connections are supported by a public transport interchange and local rail halt which will improve access to Llamsamlet and Swansea. THEMES Coed Darcy incorporates 4,000 new homes of mixed price and tenure, 3,000 Design Code jobs, open space and an integrated land use pattern supported by a full range of services including 4 new schools, health and community facilities.
