A site meeting is in the pipeline to discuss concerns relating to a proposed housing development on land west of Narberth Road in Tenby, local councillors heard this week.

An application submitted to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority by Mr. PJSR Hill, Mr. DWR Hill, Mrs. ARR Wood and the Caister Castle Trust, which would see the development of up to 14 residential dwellings (including on-site affordable provision) came up for discussion at a recent meeting of Tenby Town Council, with councillors agreeing that the matter should be deferred for a site meeting, as there were a number of issues they wished to raise.

The plans also incorporate highways alterations that will form a new access road and associated development infrastructure, which could see the re-positioning of the ‘Welcome to Tenby’ sign.

Councillors raised concerns over changes to the traffic junction for Lady Park, and felt that it was a bigger opportunity to improve the junction and also consider the introduction of further traffic calming measures in that area.

They also claimed that there had been a lack of public information regarding the proposals circulated to residents in that area.

At Tuesday night’s meeting of the town council, correspondence was received from Pembrokeshire County Council’s highways development control officer, Stephen Benger, who said he was happy to ‘explore options further’ at a site meeting, and would contact PCNPA’s case officer, Caroline Bowen, to let her know.

“With regard to the Lady Park access arrangements, this planning application is part of the consultation with the residents, however I would hope the applicant has or will approach the residents more directly,” wrote Mr. Benger.

The town clerk, Andrew Davies, told members that he had yet to hear from Ms Bowen with regards to a date for any site visit.
