Amendments to an expansion of a holiday park which forms part of Heatherton on the outskirts of Tenby, have been given the go-ahead.

In an application recommended for approval at the November meeting of Pembrokeshire County Council’s planning committee, Lewis Davies sought permission for amendments for a previously-granted scheme to add 20 lodges at Florence Springs – part of the Heatherton World of Activities complex at St Florence – which included a managers/security dwelling with linked meet and greet office building; the creation of amenity lake, and associated works.

The overall scheme was approved by full council back in late 2021 after committee backing, having been recommended for refusal by officers.

A report for members at the November 2025 meeting said: “The application site includes a proposed manager’s dwelling. At the time of the site visit, construction had commenced and the block work for the ground floor was largely complete. Construction work, however, has stopped and there is no current building activity here.

“The proposal is to undertake minor variations to the approved design of the manager’s dwelling, namely raising the eaves and ridge height of the dwelling by 500mm, including an internal/covered balcony to the rear (north-west) elevation and undertaking minor alterations to the fenestration and cladding.”

At the meeting, the applicant said the “slight design changes” were them “just purely trying to make the most of the application previously approved.”

A statement of support came from county councillor for the ward of St Florence, Cllr Rhys Jordan who later described the applicants as “a well-known family who provide an excellent year-round tourism facility”.

Approval was moved by Cllr Brian Hall, saying: “You only have to pass that place to see how busy it is,” seconded by Cllr Chris Williams.

Approval was backed unanimously by committee members.
