THE consultation on Haverfordwest's Slade Lane development closes tomorrow, October 31, offering a last chance for residents to share views.

The Welsh Government has brought together land and development expertise to create a coordinated Masterplan for this important, strategic site.

The draft proposals include:

  • Up to 600 new homes, with a significant number expected to be affordable, plus possible opportunities for Self Build Wales, SME home builders and community-led housing.
  • Land set aside for a new primary school, including a nursery.
  • Potential for a local centre with space for a shop, café, community uses and potentially healthcare.
  • Play areas, green spaces, wildlife corridors and new walking and cycling routes.

A public exhibition was held at Haverhub, Quay Street, during October, after which County Councillor for the Castle Ward Thomas Tudor commented:

“It was very interesting and informative to attend the Slade Lane public exhibition… where I was able to meet the team from Welsh Government and see the plans in person.

“It was also very reassuring to be informed that vehicular access to the development, during the construction phase and when completed will NOT be gained via Slade Lane, Crow Hill and St Martins Park.

“I did suggest that the wording of the development should be changed to The Thomas Parry Way Development, which will be considered as part of the consultation exercise.”

The consultation will close on Friday, October 31, 2025.

With only one more day to go, the consultation is an opportunity for local stakeholders and residents to view the draft plans, understand what is being proposed, and share their views before an outline planning application is prepared.

Visit the consultation website: www.sladelane.wales and complete the short online survey to give your feedback.

All responses will be reviewed and key themes will be fully considered before any potential changes are made to the masterplan.
