A major developer’s land acquisition in Saundersfoot will lead to 72 new homes, enhancing local housing options and community facilities.
Saundersfoot: Exciting news for the seaside village! A big developer just bought land at Sandy Hill, and they’re ready to kick off construction on new homes. They’re aiming to have the first properties up for sale this summer, which is pretty cool.
Persimmon Homes West Wales got the green light to build 72 homes back in July. The planning folks at the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority gave it a thumbs up, so everything’s set to go.
The new homes will range from one to four bedrooms, including detached, semi-detached, and terraced houses, plus some apartments. This is great news for local families looking to own a home.
They’re planning to make the houses look nice with a mix of render and stone finishes. Stuart Phillips, the Managing Director at Persimmon, is really happy about this project. He said they’ve cleared the last hurdle and can finally start building.
There’s more to this development than just homes. They’re also planning to add community features like a play area, upgrades to local roads, and a path that connects back to Sandy Hill Road. Sounds like a win-win!
On top of that, they’re incorporating eco-friendly features like solar panels and electric vehicle charging points. They’re even taking care to protect local wildlife and trees, which is awesome.
To help with the housing crunch in Pembrokeshire, Persimmon will set aside 35% of the homes for rent and shared ownership. That’s 25 homes that will be available for those in need.
Persimmon also gives back to the community, donating £48,000 each year to local causes. Recently, they’ve supported groups like the Saundersfoot Cricket Club and the Rotary Club’s Tenderfoot program.
Stuart Phillips expressed his gratitude to everyone involved in making this happen. He’s looking forward to working with the local community to bring these new homes to life.
While the development has its supporters, some folks from the Saundersfoot Community Council raised concerns about the project. They worried it might be too big and affect local services, but the planning committee still approved it.
