Rhyl Regeneration: Edward Henry Street

Plans for Edward Henry Street involved the development of modern family housing, in lieu of disused flats not appropriate for modern living and which no longer met the needs of the local population or the area which was saturated with similar flat style accommodation.

This scheme is located in the heart of Rhyl and meets the needs of families in the local area. The type of housing offered responds to the demands of families seeking good quality homes, particularly those wishing to remain or move to the area.

The aim has been to create a modern, well equipped housing scheme that is sensitive to the local context, character and conservation area, whilst meeting a range of differing housing needs. The new homes respond to the Victorian scale and appearance, and are attractive and energy efficient, encouraging ease of operation and convenient use.

Removal of sub-standard housing stock and the sensitive rebuilding of the more architecturally significant property in Edward Henry Street has enhanced the qualities of West Rhyl, provide better internal and external layouts with the possibility to introduce gardens, parking and waste storage facilities within the property curtilage.

Denbighshire County Council have been working in partnership with Welsh Government and ClwydAlyn Housing (external website) who have been leading on this project.
