Plans to site public use storage containers close to a Pembrokeshire village’s railway station have been submitted to county planners.

The application by S Fussell, through agent Gethin Beynon, seeks permission to site the 25 containers on an existing storage yard by Clunderwen railway station.

A supporting statement accompanying the application says: “The application seeks permission to site 25 containers to serve as a storage facility for a public use. The application site is located immediately to the north of the Clunderwen railway line and forms an existing storage and laydown yard.”

“The containers would all be accessed and open from the north elevation. The container frontage would be fenced off via post and rail fencing for security purposes with parking for 9 vehicles being provided.

It says the proposal would “have a positive economic and social impact through employment construction via the development,” with minimal environmental impacts, based on the containers being sited in an existing storage and distribution yard, adding: “In terms of the proposal’s scale design and character, the modular form of the containers being adjacent to the railway line are in keeping with the immediate semi-industrial character of the area.”

The application will be considered by planners at a later date.
