Asbri are pleased to confirm the successful granting of full planning permission for Coastal Housing Group for the development of 6 highly energy efficient dwellings on land at Wind Street, Ammanford.

The former garage site has been vacant for a number of years and the scheme is part funded under the Welsh Government “Innovative Housing Programme”  which seeks to promote innovative methods of construction and energy efficiency. Launched in February, the Innovative Housing Programme aims to create demonstrator schemes to help inform the Welsh Government, housing associations and local authorities about the type of homes it should support in the future to help address supply and environmental demands.

Initially funded by £10m per year over the next 2 years, the fund has been increased to nearly £19m for this year because of the quality schemes that have come forward. This will not affect the amount of money available in later years.

The projects include:

  • homes that double up as power stations, that save residents money and have the potential to create income by producing power
  • a development in mid Wales where locally grown timber is used to provide quality, low energy homes
  • homes made from recycled shipping containers as short term or ‘meanwhile’ living solutions for people in the most urgent housing need
  • a new 40 bed Extra Care project for older people in the Valleys, built using modular techniques which offer major opportunities to increase both the speed of construction and the quality of homes.
