ABOUT BYWYD DEVELOPMENTS
Rather than conceive homes for imaginary occupiers, Bywyd enjoys the partnership that can be formed to shape the creative opportunities embedded in a site like Cefn Cantref. We are pleased to tailor-make homes for real families, piecing together aspirations and budgets to suit individual and family needs and desires. Underpinning the whole project are concerns for the future. Confronted by serious worries for the future of the planet and the wellbeing of our children and grandchildren [combined with the continual escalation of energy costs] Bywyd Developments are investing in these homes to reduce heat loss, to maximise passive-warming by providing efficient heating installations, based on renewable energy. Not only is this common sense, it is an essential anticipation of an uncertain future and apart from the logic of this, it also means that homeowners will be eligible for grants which are currently under review by the Coalition Government.
