Councillors in Tenby have recommended refusal for a planning application for a proposed extension of a dwelling house to accommodate a new first floor level, stating that the plans would impact on the character of the area.

Revised drawings of the plans for 79 Upper Hill Park, Tenby, came before members of the town council again at their meeting on Tuesday night for discussion.

The town clerk, Andrew Davies, told members that they had previously recommended refusal for the application, stating that they believed it would impact on the character of the area, but that these were revised drawings.

Clr. Laurence Blackhall commented that the roof height of the plans seemed to be going up ‘significantly’ and that the plans did not seem hugely different from the original proposal.

Clr. Tony Brown said that he was confused as to why none of the neighbouring properties had objected to the plans, but felt that the town council should stand by its previous recommendation and turn it down.

Comments from Tenby Civic Society’s planning sub committee also came before councillors on the proposals, also pointing out that the proposed building height appears to be the same as originally proposed, and therefore none of their original objections had been amended as part of the plans.

Members of Tenby Town Council agreed to recommend refusal for the application to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority.
