Tenby Town Council has welcomed news that the new ateb housing development situated to the rear of Knowling Mead is nearing completion, with plans now advanced to release these houses for let as early as December/January.

The development, to be know as Hafalnod (Equalities), will deliver 29 new affordable homes for rent to people in housing need.

There will be 8 one-bedroom flats; 14 two-bedroom houses; 2 three-bedroom houses; 1 four-bedroom house; 2 one-bedroom bungalows; and 2 two-bedroom bungalows.

When the development was first proposed ateb gave a commitment to the local community that, when these homes were to be first let, priority would be given to those people who need a home from within the Tenby community.

“The town council is delighted that ateb have made good on that promise and those who qualify for the Tenby Local Letting Scheme in the North and South electoral wards of the town will get first priority for these new homes,” said the Mayor of Tenby, Clr. Mrs. Cllr. Mrs. Sam Skyrme-Blackhall this week.

“As a town council we would encourage Tenby residents in need of local housing to take up this fantastic opportunity.”

These properties will be advertised through the ChoiceHomes@Pembrokeshire website.

To apply for one of these homes you will need to be registered on ChoiceHomes@Pembrokeshire (www.choicehomespembrokeshire.org).

If you are already registered, and qualify for the Tenby Local Lettings Scheme, you can bid for one of these new homes when you see them advertised.

If you are not yet registered, simply complete and return a housing application form online by visiting the ateb website (www.atebgroup.co.uk) and you will be sent an information pack and bidding number.
