Tenby Town Council has unanimously recommended approval for two separate planning matters discussed at a recent meeting: internal alterations at a property on St Julian's Street and proposed tree works at a residential drive off Heywood Lane.
Decisions endorsed by councillors
Councillors considered application NP/26/0289/LBA, which proposes internal changes to non-load-bearing partitions across three floors at 2 Rock Terrace. Members recorded that the alterations are internal and will not affect the external appearance of the building. The mayor proposed support for the application, a motion seconded by a colleague, and the recommendation for approval was carried unanimously.
The second item, application NP/26/0286/TPO, concerns pruning back three trees overhanging Greenwood Lodge at The Mews, Queen Victoria House, Heywood Lane. Councillors voted in favour of the works but highlighted a vital condition: any tree operations must avoid the bird breeding season to protect nesting birds.
What happens next
These are recommendations from Tenby Town Council. The formal decision on both applications will be taken by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, which is the local planning authority for the area. Town councillors’ views will be passed on to assist the park authority’s determination.
- Application NP/26/0289/LBA — internal alterations at 2 Rock Terrace; recommended for approval.
- Application NP/26/0286/TPO — tree pruning at The Mews, Heywood Lane; recommended for approval subject to avoiding bird breeding season.
