Plans for a transformative new housing development on the
Slade Lane site, in Haverfordwest, are now open for public
consultation, with proposals set to deliver up to 600 sustainable
homes - many of them set to be affordable - to help tackle the
region's housing shortage.
The Welsh Government acquired the previously stalled
housing site in 2023 to unlock its potential and bring forward a
vibrant, well-designed community.
The scheme prioritises affordability, sustainability, and
accessibility, with a strong focus on supporting local families
and first-time buyers.
Key features of the proposed development could include:
- Up to 600 sustainable homes of mixed sizes and tenures
- A new primary school
- A local centre with a convenience store and cafe
- A medical hub
- Extensive green spaces and active travel routes designed
around existing hedgerows and trees
The scheme could also support Self-Build Wales, Community-Led
Housing and provide opportunities for small homebuilders.
The virtual consultation is now open until the end of October.
An in-person event will also take place on Tuesday 21 October at
the Haverhub, Quay St in Haverfordwest from 14:00 – 18:00. It
will offer residents the chance to shape the plans before an
outline planning application is submitted to Pembrokeshire County
Council in 2026.
Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government, , said: "The Slade Lane
development directly responds to a key housing challenge faced by
working families and young people in the local area. The Welsh
Government is proud to be delivering homes that are not only
affordable but also fit for the future, and will help keep energy
bills low.
"I look forward to the results of this consultation, which will
be key to ensure that beyond homes, we build a thriving community
that meets the needs and expectations of local residents.”
