I think an opportunity has been missed here to reorder the roads. I would have extended Ty Glas Ave through the site with two parcels to the north and south of what would be a decent sized road. At the moment they have one of the main accesses to the site off Parc Ty Glas which isn't ideal, even now.
Then reconnect Ty Glas Road above Gleider House as a straight through road, and extend the park west to cover the last bend in Ty Glas Ave just before Gleider House.
However this plan would also involve part of the old Homebase site being used for a new roundabout that would serve the extended Ty Glas Ave, Ty Glas Road, a repositoned Ashbourn Way (serving Morrisons) and Coed Glas Road. This would increase the length of road before the roundabout on Caerphilly Road which is currently a bottleneck.
Yes I've had a lot of time to think about this!
