Last summer a group called Lammas obtained planning permission to build the Uk's first planned eco village. The 76 acre site is Newar Glandwr, in North Pembrokeshire, and building is already underway. The village will consist of nine small holdings and it's intended that Lammas will be different from other alternative communities. Sarah Moore discovers how as she's taken on a guided tour and meets the inhabitants embarking on a new way of life and hoping to achieve a more sustainable kind of living.
