UK-based building and civil engineering services provider WB Griffiths & Son has received a contractor award from Pembrokeshire County Council to develop a residential unit in Milford Haven, Wales, UK.

The development will be built on a site at Charles Street. The site was previously home to a retail complex that was demolished in 2018. Plans include the construction of one and two-bedroom units for local social housing tenants.

The development will create sustainable units for future generations that are indicated to be both energy efficient and environmentally friendly.

Planning & Housing Delivery cabinet member and councillor Jon Harvey said: “It is really pleasing that the preconstruction services agreement for the redevelopment of this important site within the town centre of Milford Haven has now been awarded.

“The site is one of a number identified in the council’s house-building programme and when complete the development will provide much-needed additional affordable homes in the town.”

Construction works are set to commence in late 2024, with completion set to take approximately one year.

In the next few months, a community participation event will invite local residents and businesses to meet with the development team, investigate various concepts, ask questions, and offer vital comments that may be included in the final design.
