ANWYL Partnerships have kickstarted works to create 60 new homes located near the Coleg Menai Pencraig Campus in Anglesey.

The vacant 4.2-acre site, which was formerly part of the college campus, is set to be transformed into a new development which includes 44 two‐ and three‐bedroom houses and 16 two‐ and three‐bedroom apartments, on behalf of housing association, ClwydAlyn.

Anwyl Partnerships will utilise its in‐house project team supported by a local supply chain, comprising contractors and suppliers.

The £9.6m project is set to be completed in May 2023.

Simon Rose, Construction Director of Anwyl Partnerships, said: “This is a large project that essentially includes the construction of a brand-new community in Llangefni, creating 60 much needed affordable homes for rent/sale.

“The houses are of a traditional construction and will include a range of sustainable technologies, including air source heat pumps, PV and increased U valves to achieve an EPC A rating.”

“Community really does matter with this project and the site has been designed to help cultivate this ethos. Our approach will match the long-term vision of our clients and will be community led throughout.”

Craig Sparrow, Executive Director at ClwydAlyn, said: “This is an exciting new scheme on Anglesey that will provide high quality affordable homes and will address a key need for housing in the local area as well as provide a great learning opportunity for students from the college.

“Our mission is to beat poverty and ensure that everyone in North Wales has access to excellent quality housing.

“We're delighted to be working in partnership with Anwyl Partnerships and Anglesey County Council to bring the scheme to fruition and meet local demands, as well as boosting local employment."
