Plans to build 33 eco homes and an office development in the village of Lawrenny are currently under review.

The proposed £6.6m project will have a centralised biomass heating system and an organic farm complex on the edge of the village which is located in Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

Members of the public will have the chance to view the proposal at a consultation on Tuesday, July 19 from 2pm to 6pm in Lawrenny village hall.

Atriarc, a Llangynin-based company, hopes to submit the planning application by the end of the summer.

Funded by the Lort-Phillips family who live in Lawrenny, the main development will replace a farm site in the centre of the village.

“The houses will be very much integrated into the village,” said Wayne Reynolds, director of Atriac.

“We aim to engage the community for different designs.”

In 2008, Lawrenny Enterprises, owned by the Lort Phillips family, commissioned a competition to find an architect to design the eco-village. The project failed to materialise, but the winning plans will still be used. In 2008 it was estimated that the project would almost double the size of the village.

“This represents a massive investment for the area and it will bring money into the community,” said Adrian Lort-Phillips. “It carries on from a 40-year project that my father has done to restore the village.

“We had a consultation in 2008 and had lots of extremely supporting comments. Lots of locals say we need more people in the village.”

Developers are working with ecologists to protect wildlife habitats, but no issues have been raised so far.

A track through a field will mean construction traffic won’t enter the village. Upon completion, it is estimated that there will be ten extra vehicles travelling on the road into the village per hour.

With the multi-purpose office units and farm redevelopment, it is hoped the project will create jobs in the village.

The proposed construction will consist of three phases, with phase one estimated to take between 12 and 18 months to build. The whole complex could take as long as five years to complete.
