This See for Yourself Visit is entitled “Creatively tackling urban and rural housing shortages in Wales”

It will provide an insight into the Welsh Government’s work on developing co-operative housing contrasted with One Planet Living to give a flavour of what is taking place in urban and rural areas in Wales.

It consists of two site visits to Tŷ Cyfle in Torfaen (a housing co-op providing starter homes for young people aged 16-18) and to Loftus Village in Newport (which offers 20 cooperative homes with a shared space and garden, as part of a larger development) contrasted with a video case study from Lammas, a One Planet Development of 9 self build dwellings positioned around a community hub building, in rural Pembrokeshire.

Coach transport between the visits will be provided.
