At March’s meeting of Saundersfoot Community Council, the following planning applications were discussed, with members’ recommendations to be passed onto the local authority for consideration...

NP/23/0039/FUL: Alterations and extensions to the guest house, replacing the flat roof with a pitch roof design at Claremont Hotel, St. Brides Hill, Saundersfoot - Following consideration of all the information provided by the Planning Authority, no concerns or objections were raised by councillors who consider that the proposed plans are within keeping of the surrounding properties.

NP/23/0037/S73: Variation of condition No. 3 of NP/22/0396/FUL to extend the time of use of the external decked area to 23:00hrs at the Kook A Ba, High Street, Saundersfoot - no objections.

NP/23/0026/FUL 5: Replace existing glazed windows and door on shopfront with new four-section tri-fold glazed folding doors to provide indoor/outdoor space at Beddoes Court, Milford Street, Saundersfoot - no concerns or objections were raised, with councillors stating that the proposed plans open the space around the property affording easier and safer access to the shop.

NP/23/0024/CLE: Proposed Certificate of Lawfulness for an existing use as a short-term holiday let at Tree Tops, 2, Bonvilles Close, Saundersfoot - no objections.

NP/23/0025/FUL: Proposed roof replacement to include dormers to front and back elevations; and NP/23/0071/S73 for a variation of conditions 2 and 9 of planning application NP/21/0723/FUL to allow amendments to approved plans at White Park Cottage, The Ridgeway, Saundersfoot - no objections.

NP/23/0028/S73: Variation of condition No. 1 of NP/17/0728/FUL to extend planning permission for a further 5 years at St. Brides Cottage, St. Brides Lane, Saundersfoot - no objections.

22/0785/PA: Proposed engineering works, agricultural access, construction of stable block and tack room (partly in retrospect) at Plum Tree Hall, Stepaside - Following consideration of all the information provided by the Planning Authority, Saundersfoot Community Council consider that:

• This is a vast development, which has been partly developed prior to any planning approval. The site will become vastly over developed.

• The nature of the proposed business will entail large, heavy vehicles accessing such from an already hazardous road.

• The proposed pans are not within keeping of the surrounding area.

It was proposed and seconded that the Community Council do not support this planning application and request the Planning Officers to consider none approval of such.
