A plan to develop flats for older people in Milford Haven town centre look set for approval next week.

An application to transform the former Motor World site on Charles Street is due for decision at Tuesday’s planning committee at County Hall.

It comes with a recommendation for approval from planning officers.

The proposal is for 15 residential flats, a mix of both one and two-bedroom homes, with office space on the ground floor.

The three-storey site will also have basement parking and a private rooftop garden and terrace is proposed, with views out over the marina.

“The office space is required for Pembrokeshire County Council’s Housing

Service and the accommodation is for affordable housing for rent for elderly

persons,” states a planning report.

“Office space is required for the location of the Housing Service within the new development, this is in response to the closure of their current office location and the political desire to have the team located in the centre of the town of Milford Haven. This ties in with regeneration of the town creating footfall in the town centre,” a design and access statement adds.

Pembrokeshire County Council’s planning committee will meet on Tuesday (January 14) at 10 am.
