A meeting is being held in Tenby tonight (Wednesday) organised by local residents opposing plans to build a housing development on Brynhir in Tenby.

An outline planning application for a housing development plan on land at Brynhir is likely to be put forward in February, members of Tenby town council were told last week, after it was announced at a recent cabinet meeting at County Hall that the housing scheme would be pushed forward by Pembrokeshire County Council after it ‘bought’ its own land using the housing revenue account (HRA).

A 15 acre site at Brynhir had been earmarked for 168 homes and marketed for sale but after no acceptable proposals were brought forward it was agreed by cabinet in July that the land ‘be appropriated for HRA purposes’, and the land was listed as being disposed of for £4million.

Tonight’s meeting to be held at the Giltar Hotel in Tenby at 7 pm, is being organised by the ‘Save Brynhir Green Space and Wildlife’ group. All are welcome to attend.
