Lammas - Living in the Future 
share us with others

Lammas is currently applying for planning permission to build an ecovillage in Wales which combines the traditional smallholding model with the latest innovations in environmental design, green technology and permaculture. The proposal is for a new settlement of 9 eco-smallholdings, a campsite and a community hub building. It will be sited on 76 acres of mixed pasture and woodland next to the village of Glandwr, Pembrokeshire. Construction is planned to start in the autumn of 2008. The low-impact architecture uses a combination of recycled and natural materials all self-built. Phase one will see the construction of five detached dwellings and one terrace of four dwellings. There will be a combination of building styles including straw bale, earth sheltered, timber frame and cob. The houses will feature the latest environmental technologies and design techniques. The story of Lammas ecovillage is best told in the series of small films called Living in the Future.
