An indoor sports pitch could be opened at a Cwmcarn industrial estate under the latest plans to further develop the site.

The pitch would be created alongside a new gym, a recovery suite and a cafe, according to proposals submitted to Caerphilly County Borough Council.

The application is by Oliver Mason, who previously won approval to create a “hub of activity and wellbeing” in part of the Chapel Farm Industrial Estate.

Planning documents for his new application show the next stage of the proposals would “complement the already active leisure offering” there.

Currently the site is home to an indoor cricket centre and padel courts.

The new 4G pitch and gym have been proposed for a warehouse which is currently vacant, and if the latest plans are approved, they could create two full-time and five part-time jobs.

The application is currently out for consultation, and can be viewed on the Caerphilly County Borough Council website under reference 26/0694/COU.
