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

• NP/23/0551/LBA & NP/23/0550/FUL: Repositioning of existing access gate through railings. New steel staircase from pavement level to link to existing steps down cliffside and new decked terrace structure over lower cliff area, at Croft House, 2 The Croft, Tenby - (councillors recommended refusal - Members concur with Tenby Civic Society that the metal stairway and metal terrace balcony, contrary to the policies of the Local Development Plan, will be visually intrusive from various viewpoints of the North Beach, will be out of character with the green sweep of the shoreline above the North Beach and will diminish the character of the Conservation Area).

NP/23/0544/OHL: Openreach installation 1x11m light wooden pole, at 1 Cogmill Cottage, 22 The Green, Tenby - (no objections).

• NP/23/0543/OHL: 1x19m light wooden pole, at 45 Newell Hill, Tenby - (no objections).

• NP/23/0291/FUL: Relocation and renewed design (less impact) of telecommunications mast, at Park Hotel, North Cliffe, Tenby - (councillors recommended refusal - Members feel that, instead of creating less impact, the siting of equipment further towards the seafront aspect of the building, with its associated metalwork, will be more visually intrusive from various viewpoints across the North Beach).

• NP/23/0590/PNT: Installation of 8 telecommunications cabinets in 7 locations within Tenby Town area - (While members have no objection to seven of the eight proposed sites, there is concern about the proposed site for cabinet 06 Battery Road. It appears to be in a fairly prominent location to the side of the steps. Members suggest consideration be give to the possibilities of locating the cabinet on the other side of Battery Road).

• NP/23/0562/FUL: Installation of double-glazed Velux window (55cm x 78cm) to roadside elevation of roof approximately 3 foot from lower edge of roof and approximately 4 foot from adjoining property, at Hillside, Greenhill Avenue, Tenby - (councillors recommended approval - Members feel that the proposal has little impact on the roofline and will have no adverse effect on the amenity of neighbouring properties).

• NP/23/0567/FUL: First floor rear extension and alterations, at 12 Park Terrace, Tenby - (councillors recommended approval - Members feel that the proposal will have no adverse effect on the amenity of neighbouring properties).
