🌿 Pobl Gets Green Light for Ambitious Retrofit at Sunny Hill 🌿 We're thrilled to share that planning approval has been granted for our £2.5M Optimised Retrofit Programme at Sunny Hill in Llanelli!

Patrick Stone, Asset Manager at Pobl, adds: “Making our homes greener is vital to addressing both climate change and fuel affordability. This project reflects our commitment to a sustainable future.” Read more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dzT89Gvy Pentan Architects #Sustainability #GreenHomes #Retrofit #ORP #Housing #WelshGovernment

We are thrilled to be involved with this prestigious conservation project in Swansea alongside Pobl Group and John Weaver Contractors LTD. The historic Grade II listed building in Swansea’s Maritime Quarter is undergoing a major transformation to provide much-needed affordable housing for those most in need. Cambrian Place, which dates back to 1820 and sits on one of the city’s oldest streets—one of the few that survived World War II bombings—is at the heart of this initiative. Supported by over £5 million from the Welsh Government’s Transitional Accommodation Capital Programme, Pobl Group is leading this 74-week refurbishment project to ensure the building's long-term preservation. Situated near the River Tawe and Swansea Bay, the project will preserve the building’s unique historical character while addressing modern housing needs. Jayne Bryant MS, Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government expressed her enthusiasm for the building’s restoration. “This project demonstrates how the Transitional Accommodation Capital Programme supports vital initiatives across Wales, creating high-quality, energy-efficient housing”. The refurbishment includes careful restoration of the brick and stone façade, replacement of windows and roofs, and the addition of external wall insulation to the sides and rear. Inside, the 32 apartments will be new low-carbon heating and hot water systems, as well as breathable internal wall insulation. The apartments will be fully electric, powered by PV panels and heat pumps, with infrared ceiling heat mats being trialled as part of the project’s low-carbon strategy. Swansea-based John Weaver Contractors have been selected to carry out the work, reflecting Pobl’s commitment to supporting local businesses and the community. The project also aligns with the new Welsh Quality Design Requirements (WQDR), ensuring improved accessibility and modern layouts. Using advanced research techniques such as hygrothermal modelling to assess condensation risks, the strategy evaluates ways to enhance energy efficiency. By undertaking embodied and operational carbon assessments, the project seeks to use natural and low-carbon materials, such as wood fibre insulation and lime renders. This ambitious retrofit is not only preserving an important piece of Swansea’s history but also setting a benchmark for sustainable, energy-efficient housing in Wales.
