A plan to build flats on the site of Tenby's old gasworks has led the town council to call for a site meeting with National Park planners this week.
The council had originally objected to the application as they felt there was insufficient detail on the application as to size, number of dwellings and footprint, to make effective observations.
At their meeting on Tuesday, councillors received notification from the National Park that a more detailed submission for the former gas holder station site in Gas Lane had now been received.
This proposed 16 flats in a two-storey block with associated car parking and amenity areas.
Clr. Mrs. Maureen Ward felt that the plan should be refused.
"This is not an ideal location given the volume of traffic already using this road to get to the Butts Field car park," she commented.
Clr. Mickey Folland felt the best approach would be to meet with park planners on-site to discuss the proposals and air any town council concerns.
However, he did feel that the land could be better utilised, possibly as an overflow for the Butts Field.
Clr. Mrs. Tish Rossiter also felt that the road was "used a lot more," particularly as there was limited parking at the nearby surgery.
"This is a 'brown field' site, and there may be contamination from its previous use," opined Clr. Stuart Fecci. "The applicants would have the clean up the site, which may not be a bad thing.
"There is a need for local housing and the National Park policies will ensure that at least some of this development would be for local needs," he pointed out
The Mayor, Clr. Mrs. Christine Brown, agreed that there was a need to meet on site and it was decided that such a meeting be arranged as soon as possible.
