Cyngor Gwynedd plans to build nine affordable homes in Morfa Nefyn to address local housing needs
Morfa Nefyn: Cyngor Gwynedd is looking to build nine new homes to help locals who are struggling with high housing prices. They’re planning to put these homes on a site at Tir Maes Twnti, which is part of a bigger effort to meet the housing demand in the Llŷn Peninsula.
A report from the council highlights that many people in the area are priced out of the market, with the average house costing around £200,000. It’s a tough situation, as 81.3% of locals can’t afford to buy a home.
The council’s plan is to create a mix of two and three-bedroom houses, with some flexibility to adapt them if needed. They want to make sure these homes stay affordable for the community, using an equity model that helps keep prices down.
They’re also looking to improve the area by extending the current estate road and adding parking spaces. The council is set to recommend approval for this project at their next planning meeting.
In a recent public consultation, no one objected to the plans, and local representatives showed their support, noting the clear demand for affordable housing. The council believes this project aligns with local and national planning policies.
Overall, it seems like a positive step towards providing much-needed housing for the community in Morfa Nefyn.
