Exciting news for Cilgerran! A plan has been submitted to build 23 brand-new affordable homes in this charming Pembrokeshire village. The proposed development will feature six three-bedroom houses, twelve two-bedroom houses, four one-bedroom flats, and a one-bedroom bungalow. It’s set to be a 100% affordable housing scheme designed to meet local needs.
Following a previous setback in 2022 due to environmental concerns, steps have been taken to address wastewater issues, ensuring the protection of the Afon Teifi Special Area of Conservation. Dwr Cymru/Welsh Water has confirmed that improvements will boost treatment capacity by the end of this year, making room for the new homes.
These homes aim to help those registered on Cilgerran’s housing list, with management by Wales & West Housing Association. Situated on the urban edge, it’s perfectly poised to integrate into the area, offering a sustainable and realistic solution for the housing demand here.
This development won’t just meet housing needs—it’ll also bolster the local economy and align with both national and local policies. Excitingly, it’s also committed to nurturing the Welsh language and community spirit, ensuring that local Welsh speakers can continue to thrive in the area. With the council aiming to address the shortfall of over 100 homes in Cilgerran, this initiative could be a game-changer.
Keep an eye out for updates as the planning process continues, and let’s hope for a green light soon!
