Among planning applications considered by Tenby Town Council at their meeting last week, for recommendation to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority were the following:

NP/23/0238/FUL: Proposed upgrade to the existing 5.0m High Monopole. Proposed removal and replacement of existing 15.0m high SC280 Timber Monopole with proposed 22.5m high CU Phosco Phase 6 Monopole with a Phase 4.9 headload on new concrete base together with three antennas, one 300mm dish, one 600mm dish and associated ancillary works.

Existing three antennas to be relocated to proposed monopole and existing 2 cabinets to be relocated to new concrete base and refreshed internally, on land adjacent to the cemetery, Slippery Back, Old Narberth Road, Tenby - (Approval was recommended, while the increased size of the mast will have a more visual impact, council feels it is necessary to maintain and improve mobile phone coverage for the town).

NP/23/0301/S73 and NP/23/0306/LBA: Internal alterations, including part demolition of rear lean-to slate roof and construction of new 2 storey rear extension; replacement of existing roof structure with new including new gable roof on extension; part alterations to rook structure and replacement of roof covering, at 22 High Street, Tenby - (Approval, considered against all relevant policies members felt that the proposals will have no discernible effect on the amenity of neighbours, the building's listed building status or its position within the Conservation Area).
