PLANS to expand facilities at a Lamphey camping and glamping farm which hosts outdoor festivals were given the go-ahead by Pembrokeshire County Council at the planning committee’s June 30 meeting.

Dewslake Camping Limited, of Dewslake Farm, The Ridgeway, Lamphey, in an application through agent Argent Architects, sought permission for a change of use of the main barn at the farm to provide support facilities for camping and events.

The application aims to create “a building that is inclusive, easy and enjoyable in use for all,” with overflow catering, sanitary facilities and office and reception space, and wheelchair parking in the area currently occupied by the temporary facilities.

Approval was moved by Cllr Alec Cormack, described it as “an excellent use of the building,” with vice-chair of the committee Cllr Simon Hancock describing it as an “excellent application,” which was “entirely appropriate in the site”.
