Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority development management committee Wednesday April 21 Concerns about over development and impact on public rights of way in Freshwater East have led to a call for a site visit before a planning decision is made. The height of a house with planning permission in place in Freshwater East will be increased after a variation was approved. Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority’s development management committee discussed an application to vary one of the conditions on a permission granted in 2014 on a plot next to Devon Court. There were concerns raised by Lamphey Community Council as well as 28 responses to the original plans relating to rights of way, over development of the site, excessive scale and parking provision.
Saundersfoot s historic tree Picture: Gareth Davies Photography An historic tree in Saundersfoot that the community wants to save from being chopped down will be visited by planning committee members. Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority development management committee agreed with an officer recommendation to hold a site visit to Scar Rock, opposite Beach Court, as soon as possible. A decision on an application to fell the Monterey Cypress tree on the seafront site will then be decided after members have seen it for themselves. It has been described as an attractive and much loved feature of the village for over eighty years, by Saundersfoot and District Historical Society and there is also a Facebook group campaigning for it to be retained.
A historic Saundersfoot tree is likely to be visited by National Park planners before a decision on felling it is taken. An application has been made to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park to fell a Monterey Cypress tree on the sea front which campaigners are fighting to save. The tree on Scar Rock, opposite Beach Court, has been an “attractive and much loved feature of the village for over 80 years,” Saundersfoot and District Historical Society has said. It adds: “The Monterey Cypress is an unusual tree. A native of the Pacific Coast of North America it is salt resistant and thrives on rocky ground and cliffs.
The Kookaba, Saundersfoot. Picture: Google Street View A Saundersfoot family restaurant catering for diners, not “vertical drinking,” will be allowed to use its rear decking area until 11pm following approval of a licence variation. Extending the licence from 9pm to 11pm, with people to have left by 11.30pm, at the rear of the Kookaba on High Street, would allow for a second sitting of diners, owner Chris Llewellyn told members of the licensing committee on Wednesday (April 14). She runs the Australian themed restaurant with her son Jonathan, and made clear to Pembrokeshire County Councillors that it was a “family dining experience not a drinking establishment for vertical drinking.”
