Ecovillages - Introduction

Lammas exists to support the development of ecovillages in West Wales.

We have attained planning permission for an ecovillage in Pembrokeshire (called Tir y Gafel).
It has been designed using a model that can be replicated across Wales. It combines the traditional smallholding model with the latest innovations in environmental design, green technology and permaculture. Construction is currrently underway.

There is now planning provision in Wales for such developments.

Under the TAN 6 Policy Guidance (Welsh Assembly Government), there is now a planning framework which accomodates low-impact development
