Redevelopment of entire village under way
Daily Post
|July 07, 2025
WORK is set to start on new homes in a redevelopment of an entire Welsh village.
Penrhos Polish Village, just outside Pwllheli, was founded in 1949 by the Polish Housing Society Ltd.
It housed exiled Polish airmen and soldiers who remained in the UK following World War Two. There were around 100 exiled airmen, soldiers and sailors living there.
They established a Polish speaking community on the former RAF Penrhos base. It had its own church, library, a large communal dining hall, shop and allotments as well as a care home for veterans.
But the condition of the 107 homes have deteriorated over the years and in 2022 plans were submitted to build more than 100 news homes with the old properties demolished.
The first phase of redevelopment at Penrhos Polish Village will see the construction of 44 homes. This scheme was made possible thanks to investment of a Welsh Government grant, following discussions between ClwydAlyn, Cyngor Gwynedd and Welsh Government.
Welsh social homes provider ClwydAlyn has confirmed that contracts have been signed with Williams Homes, Bala who will build 107-energy efficient homes.
