Lammas Ecovillage

Nine households and a central community hub spread across 76 acres of land, featuring buildings constructed with natural materials and powered by renewable energy sources.

The development received planning permission in 2009 after a three-year campaign, marking the first ecovillage in the United Kingdom to obtain prospective planning approval.

Residents manage water, woodland, and electricity collectively while dedicating their plots to food production, organic waste processing, and land-based self-reliance activities.

Each household maintains approximately 7 acres for food production and income generation, with plots initially purchased between £35,000 and £40,000 with a five-year establishment period.

The ecovillage operates under the Welsh Government's One Planet Development policy, requiring residents to demonstrate sustainable living and maintain land-based livelihoods.
