WORK is set to start on new homes in Penyffordd this year.

Macbryde Homes has confirmed that work will start before the end of this year on 32 new homes on a site off Hawarden Road in Penyffordd. 

Planning was granted by Flintshire Council earlier this year and the St-Asaph-based housebuilder has now exchanged on the purchase of the site allowing work to start imminently.

Managing director of Macbryde Homes, Gwyn Jones, said: "We are delighted to now have all legalities confirmed allowing us to move forward with development on site."

The development named Oak Meadow will include a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes.

Ten of the homes will be designated as affordable.

Mr Jones added: "We’ve made no secret of our ambitious plans to secure at least one sales outlet in each of the North Wales local authority areas. 

"This year alone we’ve started work on-site in Rhuddlan, Dyserth and Mold and we’re delighted to be adding Penyffordd to that list. 

"We’re not, however, resting on our laurels and anticipate being able to make further announcements for new developments across the region over the coming weeks."
