Penrhos Polish Village - 1940's

Our heritage

Hen Bentre Pwylaidd has always been a place with a strong sense of history and community, built on a rich heritage. In the 1940s, the village was a former RAF air base that was transformed by the Polish Housing Society into a residential village, becoming home to Polish servicemen and women who stayed in the UK after World War II.

A new vision for Hen Bentre Pwylaidd

The Polish Housing Society transferred all existing properties on the site to ClwydAlyn as part of a merger designed to support redevelopment and regeneration. The redevelopment work is now underway and shaping a new future for Hen Bentre Pwylaidd—creating high-quality, energy-efficient homes and modern health and care services, so the village remains a safe, welcoming and vibrant place for years to come.

The redevelopment

ClwydAlyn Housing, in conjunction with Cyngor Gwynedd, is developing 107 high-quality homes on the site, a mix of apartments, bungalows and houses for rent. This redevelopment will replace all existing accommodation on the site over three phases across an estimated 3–5 year period. Phase 1 focuses on independent living for people aged 55 and over with an assessed care and support need.

  • 30 apartments (1 and 2 bedroom homes) — priority for these homes will be given to those with low to medium care and support needs from within the local community.
  • 12 bungalows — priority for these homes will be given to those with low to medium care and support needs, from within the local community.

The development of affordable homes at Penrhos sits alongside, and is closely connected to, plans by Cyngor Gwynedd and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to create a new residential and nursing care home on the site. The building will be designed to modern regulatory standards with full en‑suite rooms and dementia‑friendly features to support residents’ needs.
