Construction Trends in Powys
Powys County Council's 30 year housing business plan sets out a pipeline of new council homes across the county, including 16 new homes in Ystradgynlais, 18 in Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, and 16 eco-friendly bungalows on the site of a former school in Welshpool. In Newtown, Clos Robert Owen has delivered 32 modern, affordable homes, while technical work is complete for a further 13 homes in Llanfyllin. The county's Local Development Plan, which ran from 2011 to 2026, is being replaced, with a new deposit plan due for statutory consultation. Away from these schemes, established market towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
