Local councillors will meet with Pembrokeshire County Council officers at County Hall next week to discuss the pre-planning housing application at Brynhir in Tenby.

The 15 acre site at Brynhir has been earmarked for a scheme consisting of 145 new homes, along with associated drainage, landscape and highway infrastructure, with the intention of PCC to submit an outline planning application to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority.

Members of Tenby town council recently commended the outline plans stating that it will be a ‘significant development’ for the town, providing much need affordable housing for the area.

The scheme which has been drawn up by RLH Architectural Solutions, with The Urbanists (who are acting as planning consultants on the scheme and are responsible for managing and submitting the proposed planning application) comprises of a mix of bungalows, two storey semi-detached properties, executive houses, one and two-bedroomed flats and three-storey flat buildings, with 102 of the units designated as social housing, 34 for the open market and nine under a shared ownership scheme.

Deputy Mayor. Clr. Mrs. Christine Brown told her fellow members at Tuesday night’s meeting of the town council that it would be useful if as many of them could attend the meeting on Thursday (June 13) so that they can formulate their views before the pre-planning consultation deadline the following day.

Clr. Laurence Blackhall commented: “The info is publicly available, and it would be great if people could take a look to try and understand the plans, as it might make them feel more positive about the fact that views have been listened to when it comes to the design, with an urban park and children’s play area incorporated into the plans.

“I genuinely feel that the they have taken on board people’s views, but there is an opportunity for people to still put their views forward and for them to be considered in the final designs,” he added.
