Near Pwllheli, housing association ClwydAlyn has broken ground on the Penrhos Polish Village redevelopment, demolishing poor-condition housing and rebuilding it into 107 new affordable homes as part of the council's Housing Action Plan. The county's Local Development Plan, which has guided development since 2011, set a housing target of more than 7,000 homes and is now nearing the end of its period, with a successor plan expected. Away from these schemes, Bangor, Caernarfon, and Porthmadog keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions on established housing.
Here's a breakdown of the most common types of construction projects in Gwynedd over the past 30 days.

Penrhos Polish Village near Pwllheli is set to bring sustained new-build and regeneration activity to Gwynedd over the coming years, as the council's Housing Action Plan continues to address its poorest-condition housing stock. Away from this scheme, Bangor, Caernarfon, and Porthmadog's established housing stock supports a steady, more standard flow of extension and loft conversion work across the county.
Planning applications highlight upcoming work, giving you a chance to get in touch before builders are shortlisted.
Approved applications can be particularly valuable because the project has cleared a major planning hurdle and may be moving closer to construction.
