Canol Cae in Penrhyndeudraeth for Grwp Cynefin & Clwyd Alyn in partnership with Cyngor Gwynedd and the Welsh Government is now complete.
Grŵp Cynefin and Clwyd Alyn worked collaboratively to build new affordable homes at Canol Cae, with the site split by a small meandering stream. The development constructed by Williams Homes (Bala) Ltd comprises 39 general needs and 2 assisted living homes, supported with a housing grant from Welsh Government. Located on the Western edge of Penrhyndeudraeth, close to Porthmadog and the border of Eryri National Park, the homes are in-keeping with the semi-rural character of the surroundings of the site. A sense of openness with generous public space and permeability is created in the centre of the site that corresponds to the location of easements and services.
The highly sustainable scheme enables ‘low carbon living’, with combustion free homes that embrace cutting-edge energy and drainage technology. The homes are built using Modern Methods of Construction using panelised timber frame construction, designed with a fabric first approach to meet WG Part L 2025 targets and achieved EPC A rating. Solar photovoltaic panels generate zero carbon energy, and there is zero onsite combustion as the homes have all electric systems, with a clear path to achieve net zero carbon in the future.
