good news for green homes

The Roundhouse near Brithdir Mawr community in Pembrokeshire, Wales has finally been granted planning permission after years of battling with the authorities. This is one of the greenest buildings in the UK. Built in 1997 by Tony Wrench and Jane Faith, it is perfectly camouflaged within its natural surroundings in the woods on the edge of ecological community Brithdir Mawr, which I visited in May this year. It is a magical spot and I am so pleased to be able to report that this beautiful dwelling is allowed to stay. It is a real inspiration and Tony and Jane welcome around two groups a week to visit the site and learn more about how to build roundhouses and live in harmony with Mother Earth.
