Updated designs for the proposed new Brynhir housing development in Tenby are currently on display at the town’s Leisure Centre - but it is envisaged that the scheme won’t come to fruition until 2026.

Following previous engagement events, feedback and comments about the proposed development has been used to make changes and the new design will be presented at the event.

Pembrokeshire County Council say the updated proposals have followed a lengthy phase of work to develop a design that compliments the town, providing properties that support the need of the area and to help build communities.

“Community areas have been important to the development, offering a communal ‘village green’ and ‘parkland edges’ to boundary homes,” said a spokesperson for PCC.

“A circular walkway is planned, providing access into the adjacent Upper Hill Park, Old Narberth Road and public rights of way.

“Properties will also meet the requirements of the Welsh Development Quality Requirements (WDQR), providing renewable heating technologies and energy efficiency.

“Over the coming months, the development team will be building upon the concept, incorporating detailed elevated property, landscape and water management investigations.”

A Brynhir Community Engagement event was held on May 12, to show the updated plans for the proposed new development in Tenby.

“We saw a number of the community attend to talk to the team, allowing us to gather further valuable community feedback,” said a spokesperson for Pembrokeshire County Council Housing Services team.

The display boards will remain at Tenby Leisure Centre for the community to view until May 30, with an opportunity to provide valuable feedback to the Pembrokeshire County Council Housing Services team.

County councillor for neighbouring seaside village in Saundersfoot, Cllr Chris WIlliams recently attended a meeting on the Brynhir scheme along with other local county councillors and PCC officers.

“Since I’ve come into my role, a week hasn’t gone by without a resident asking about availability of council properties. Unfortunately, there are many who are struggling to find a rental or council property,” he stated.

“There was news that there could be approximately 110 houses at this development, which will be council properties. There will also be 15 properties that will eventually go on the open market.

“There is still a long way to go on this though, with a proposed date in 2026,” added Cllr Williams.
