New neighbourhood to feature sustainable drainage and green tech
Persimmon has been given approval to built 72 new eco-homes in Wales.
The housebuilder’s West Wales business was given the green light earlier this week by Pembrokeshire Coast National Park for the new community in Saundersfoot.
Approval by the authority’s development management committee will now be subject to the finalisation of the s106 agreement.
The zero-carbon ready scheme includes a mix of quality new detached, semi-detached, terraced houses, and apartments, ranging from one to four bedrooms, and finished in render and stone.
The scheme will also include a new play area, contributions to highway and active travel upgrades, and a dedicated active travel link that connects the site back to Sandy Hill Road.
It also incorporates a sustainable drainage system with bio-retention areas and rain gardens, green technologies such as air-source heat pumps, solar panels, and electric vehicle charging points, as well as ecological enhancements to mitigate impacts on dormouse habitats and preserve existing trees and hedgerows.

Persimmon will also transfer 35% of the homes, 25 in total, to a local housing provider for rent and shared ownership.
Persimmon Homes West Wales’ managing director, Stuart Phillips, said: “We’re delighted to have secured support for our new development of 72 high-quality homes in Saundersfoot.
“The development will provide a wide range of zero-carbon ready homes designed for local people, especially young families and first-time buyers, who otherwise might struggle to get onto the housing ladder in Pembrokeshire.”
