Councillors in Tenby have been told that a ‘late night refreshment’ licence being applied for by a new pizza restaurant in the resort, does not include sales of alcohol.

Members of Tenby town council recently asked for clarification on details of an application submitted to Pembrokeshire County Council’s licensing department by J. J. E Enterprises Ltd - for a late night refreshment licence from 11 pm to midnight, on Fridays and Saturdays, for the new Domino’s restaurant and takeaway to be situated at Units 1 to 3 on the South Parade.

The application from Domino’s UK for a change of use from Class A1 (retail) to Class A3 (hot food takeaway) use at the newly-built units was turned down by members of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority’s development management committee last year, but the applicants overturned the decision after lodging a successful appeal to the Welsh Government planning inspectorate.

Speaking at Tuesday night’s meeting of the the town council, the town clerk Andrew Davies told members that he’d queried the application with PCC’s licensing department who explained that the licence came under the ‘late night refreshments’ banner, to allow for internet and telephone orders to operate after 11 pm.

“They said that such licenses were quite common in other authorities, and clarified that nothing else has been asked for on the application at all, so no alcohol,” he explained, adding that he now too had a copy of the management plan on how the premises planned to operate, in the town council offices to view.
