A £10million mixed-use development in Lawrenny, has been given unanimous planning approval by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority.
The scheme, Lawrence Estate, has been a labour of love for the family-led developers.
The plans for Lawrenny Estate were highly commended by the Design Commission for Wales.
In a 2017 DCfW review, it said: “The scheme presented at the review has the potential to be an exemplar of rural development in Wales.
“This is an incredible accolade for a rural development and sparks the start of a new phase of regeneration for the already popular village.”
Lawrenny Estate will see up to 39 new homes (of which seven will be affordable) a traffic-free village square and workshops built in the National Park village of Lawrenny.
The development will also see the construction of a biomass district heating system as well as improvements to existing village infrastructure.
The mixed-use residential development was part of a Europe-wide Royal Institute of British Architects competition to find a perfect design, filled with sustainable elements and in keeping with the National Park based village.
The application was given the go-ahead at last week’s meeting of PCNPA’s development management committee.
