Members of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority’s development management committee will embark on a site meeting to Tenby next month to discuss the proposals for the Brynhir development.

The outline application put forward by Pembrokeshire County Council for the land at Brynhir, with all matters reserved for 102 affordable residential units, eight shared ownership residential units and 34 open market residential units together with associated access, drainage and landscaping, was on the agenda at PCNPA’s development management committee meeting on Wednesday, with members agreeing to the planning officer’s recommendation to hold a site meeting on Monday, September 2, due to the proposals being a ‘major development’ in Tenby and of public interest.

Discussing the application at Tuesday night’s meeting of Tenby town council, Clr. Laurence Blackhall told his colleagues that the pre-planning and outline planning stages were opportunities to alter anything before the final proposals are submitted.

“Tenby Civic Society have raised issues relating to pathways and access etc, and it is legitimate to raise all of those things with the developers, and I’m sure they’ll be fully considered as part of the planning process,” he remarked.

“I’d put a plea to the public to raise anything that they’d like to see changed within the plans, and write to The Urbanists (who are acting as planning consultants on the scheme) and Pembrokeshire County Council now, at a stage when certain things can be changed, that are not cast in stone.

“It will be an even better development if they get those things right,” he added.
