A decision on plans to convert one of Tenby's historic buildings into a set of luxury flats has been left with National Park planning officers to approve subject to parking conditions. Members of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority's development management committee decided on Wednesday to delegate matters on plans for the former Guildhall and Glendower House to officers while they await additional information on underground parking provision. Officers had recommended approval to members, subject to the engineering works necessary to facilitate the underground car parking being deemed acceptable, and without comprising the structural integrity of the listed building aspect of the site. The application will see the extension and change of use of the old Guildhall and Glendower House to luxury flats and the construction of a new infill block of six flats which will replace the Ocean Haze Cafe, with the creation of additional parking spaces at The Norton. Both the Guildhall and Glendower House are Grade II listed buildings, while currently linking the two properties is a single storey modern extension which has been used as the Information Centre and a cafe. The current proposal will see the demolition of the existing link building, with the erection of a new four-storey infill block, matching the style of the two adjoining properties, to provide six flats. The plans will also see the alteration of the Guildhall and Glendower House to create 13 additional flats, with the creation of parking areas accessible from both The Croft and The Norton. Externally, on The Croft elevation, the existing Information Centre building will be converted into two conservatory rooms for flats 1 and 2, with a Beatrix Potter memorial being erected as a central feature in the facade. National Park planning officer David Green's report on the application explained why demolition of the Guildhall had been ruled out and could not be supported. "As members will be aware from the local press, attempts have been made by the applicant to prove that the structure of the Guildhall is unsound and is not capable of renovation. I would advise members that the submitted structural survey in no way provided sufficient evidence to establish that the Guildhall was unsound, in fact it only proved that the roof is damaged and letting in small amounts of water and that there is superficial cracking in the render and plaster work; a view reinforced by officer's inspection of the property which established the property was sound," reported Mr. Green. Development management committee members voted to delegate the application to officers for approval.
