Local Housing Need Survey Cyngor Llanllyfni Council |
The need for housing by local people in the Llanllyfni Community Council area
Dear Resident,
Cyngor Cymuned Llanllyfni – Llanllyfni Community Council realise that providing housing for local people in this area is a very important subject and in order to assess the local need here they have asked me as a Rural Housing Enabler and an independant broker to carry out a survey of local need as well as what interest there is in an exciting scheme on the outskirts of the village of Penygroes.
This survey is being sent to every house in the Community Council area and you are very welcome to complete the enclosed questionnaire if you are in need to move to more suitable accommodation than what you have at present or to offer any comment on a scheme on the village boundary.
If you know of anyone who needs to move back to the area then you are more than welcome to provide their details in order for me to send them a survey form.
As I mentioned, the Ty’n y Weirglodd site adjacent to Plas Silyn Leisure centre has been earmarked for housing by the County Council and Grŵp Cynefin are going to develop appropriate housing which will address the local need.
The intention with the Ty’n y Weirglodd site is for a mixed housing development of open market, low cost purchase and intermediate rent.
This survey will be the basis for the kind of development that will be drafted. Further consultation will take place to receive comments on these and the Community Council will have an opportunity to take part in this important work.
If anyone has an interest being involved in discussions to develop this scheme and want to contribute then you are more than welcome to let me know by filling in Section 3 of the survey.
It is early days as to what exactly will be considered on the site, but your reaction is crucial to shape what will be there.

A number of questions have been raised by Llanllyfni Community Council including –
1. The land is extremely wet! - This has been considered and mitigation plans have been costed.
2. How many private houses? - No more market housing than what is needed to make the scheme financially viable.
3. Is there an option to self-build? - It can be, depending on demand and the applicant’s ability.
4. The school is full! – The County Council has earmarked the site for housing and any following services will need to be planned for. A possible increase in the number of children could be the result of a housing scheme and this survey report will draw attention to this.
5. What about land in Nebo / Talysarn and other areas? - This may be possible in the future if the need is proven, suitable land and the possibility for planning permission obtainable.
6. What will be the price of new housing? - This will be dependent on the ability of applicants to pay, any subsidy, and at a discount from the market price for the affordable housing.
7. How will this be monitored? - This will depend on the response to the survey, and further cooperation with the community council and other agencies to ensure against over development on one phase taking into account what is realistic. There will be opportunities for individuals to cooperate.
I would like you to respond to this survey if you
a. Consider yourself to be in need of a new house now or in the future then fill - PART 1 and PART 2
b. Want to respond to the development and other relevant topics fill PART 3
It will only take 5-10 minutes to complete the questionnaire, but if you need help to fill it in then I'm quite happy to assist you - my details are below.
