Lewis Partnership play key role in landmark development

A landmark housing association development in Haverfordwest is taking shape with the help of the award-winning South Wales architects the Lewis Partnership. 
Pembrokeshire Housing is in charge of the development of 35 dwellings at land off Peregrine Close, Haverfordwest.
The project has been designed by the Lewis Partnership of Llanelli. The building contractors are W.B. Griffiths & Son Ltd of Haverfordwest and the engineer is Roger Casey Associates of Carmarthen.
The project is worth £3.2m, and the contractors will be on site for the next 18 months.
“We are very excited about the project as it is the largest project of its kind in Pembrokeshire at the moment,” said Philip Lewis, managing director of the Lewis Partnership.
“There is a great need for social housing in the area and the site uses an area of land that was derelict.
“When it is completed, it will give the area a real lift and will help meet a great need for social housing in Pembrokeshire.
Pembrokeshire Housing, which last year celebrated its 30th anniversary, is the local housing association for Pembrokeshire and owns and manages 2,150 affordable quality homes across the county.
Once complete, the 35-home development at Peregrine Close will provide a mix of flats and houses and include a specially-adapted disabled person’s bungalow.
Brian Charles, the chair of Pembrokeshire Housing, said: “With the shortage of affordable housing across the county, it is important for Pembrokeshire Housing to deliver additional affordable homes. This is the first of at least four developments we intend to commence this year.
“By working with local contractors who, in turn, use local suppliers we can also support the local economy, which is essential in these difficult financial times.”
The development is being built to Level 3 under the code for sustainable homes and the design will comply with all current design requirements of the Welsh Assembly Government.
Lewis Partnership MD Mr Lewis said he was delighted to be working in partnership with Pembrokeshire Housing and the other contractors on the project.
He added: “We are also working on a project with Pembrokeshire Housing and W.B. Griffiths & Son Ltd to complete seven bungalows in Poyston Close, just off the St David’s Road in Haverfordwest
“In addition, we have been working with Pembrokeshire Housing on a feasibility study for new housing sites in the county.
“We are, of course, delighted to be working with our partners in bringing about attractive new housing developments which will meet a real need.”
