"Persimmon Homes is the first of the major PLC housebuilders to develop homes this far west in Wales." According to Pembrokeshire County Council's Local Development Plan, there is a significant lack of housing in the region and the latest announcement from Persimmon will provide around 90 affordable houses. The remainder will be available on the Welsh Government's Help to Buy Wales scheme thus helping first time buyers and families looking to upgrade to a bigger family home to do so. Between now and 2021, Pembrokeshire County Council has made provision for 7,300 dwellings in the Local Development Plan, enabling the delivery of 5,700 homes, and Persimmon Homes is set to deliver 8% of this over the course of the next five years. Last month Persimmon said Wales is lagging behind England and Scotland due to a lack of a coherent economic growth strategy and no Government-led purchase scheme. The developer has called for the full support of the Welsh Government to address issues holding back housing development.
