Plans to develop a microbrewery at the rear of one of Tenby's most popular pubs, look set to be given the go-ahead by Pembrokeshire National Park's planners. An application submitted by Mike Evans, of The Buccaneer Inn, St Julians Street, proposing a change of use of a storage building at the premises to a microbrewery/visitor centre, is due to go before members of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority's development management committee next week, with planning officers recommending approval for the scheme. Plans show the building would provide a microbrewery on the ground floor which would be visible through new glazed viewing screens from the external cobbled yard area and Sergeants Lane, and also from a first floor viewing and reception area which would incorporate glass floor panels and also a new external door access from the existing Buccaneer Inn beer garden area. Tenby Town Council have recommended approval for the project, calling it an "exciting development and attraction" which would enhance the buildings in that area, and councillors further backed the scheme at their meeting on Tuesday night, when they discussed amended plans for the application. "We said previously that it would be a good thing as it would start to develop that area and improve it," remarked Deputy Mayor, Clr. Paul Rapi. However, members of Tenby Civic Society have noted concerns relating to the impact the scheme would have on the amenity of nearby and adjoining properties. Although the proposal conflicts with Local Development Plan policy 50, as it does not strictly comprise development in accordance with the LDP mixed use allocation, National Park planning officers have stated in a report that will go before the authority's development management committee on Wednesday, that the material planning considerations, that are specific to the application, outweigh any conflict, subject to suitable conditions, such as - the development be implemented within five years; the opening hours restricted to between 10 am and 9 pm, from Monday to Saturday, with delivery hours from 7 am to 7 pm. The report also states that a programme of archaeological investigation be carried out, along with a scheme for the protection of bats.
