A Landmark Step for Derwen May Homes: 300 New Homes Planned for South Wales
Derwen May Homes has secured land for a significant new development of around 300 new homes in South Wales, marking an important moment in the company’s growth as an independent Welsh house builder.
While the exact location cannot yet be announced, the scale of the opportunity reflects the confidence, care and long-term ambition behind Derwen May Homes. This is a landmark development for the business, and a clear statement of intent about the kind of homes, neighbourhoods and communities it wants to help create across Wales.
For Derwen May Homes, securing land is about much more than finding a site. It is about understanding place, respecting local character, and asking how new homes can contribute positively to the life of an area. Every development begins with the same questions: how will people live here, how will families connect, how will the homes sit within the landscape, and how can the result feel genuinely Welsh in spirit, quality and purpose?
Huw Llewellyn, founder of Derwen May Homes, said: “This is a very important step for Derwen May Homes. A development of this scale carries real responsibility, and that is something we take seriously from the outset. We are a Welsh business, building in Wales, and we care deeply about the communities, landscapes and lives that our work touches. For us, success means creating homes that feel considered, well built and rooted in place, with the quality and integrity people should expect when they choose a new home.”
The proposed development has the potential to bring forward much-needed new homes in South Wales, at a time when quality housing, thoughtful design and responsible place-making are high priorities across the region. Derwen May Homes believes that new residential development in Wales should be planned with care, technical discipline and a clear understanding of how people want to live now and in the future.
That means looking beyond house numbers alone. It means creating streets, green spaces and connections that support everyday life. It means designing homes that feel practical, attractive and lasting. It means working with the landscape, not treating it as an afterthought. Above all, it means respecting the communities that already exist, while helping new ones to grow with confidence.
Derwen May Homes was founded on the belief that housebuilding can be done with more care, more character and more accountability. The company’s values of innovation, quality, integrity, individuality and community continue to guide its approach, from early land discussions through to design, planning, delivery and customer care.
South Wales has a rare quality of life. Its towns, villages, coastline, countryside, schools, independent businesses, culture and community spirit make it a place where people can build a life with depth and connection. For Derwen May Homes, that sense of Welsh life is central to the way each new development is imagined.
Huw added: “Wales has given me my sense of responsibility, my standards and my pride in doing things properly. When we look at a site, we are always thinking about the families who may one day live there, the neighbours around it, and the kind of place it could become over many years. That is why we take the early stages so seriously. Good homes begin long before construction starts.”
Further details about the development will be shared at the appropriate time. For now, this new land acquisition represents a major milestone for Derwen May Homes and another step forward in its ambition to deliver high-quality new homes in South Wales with care, pride and purpose.
