Enforcement action will be taken against the owner of Tenby’s former Royal Gatehouse Hotel, Members of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority decided today (Wednesday).
The Authority’s Development Management Committee unanimously approved Officers’ recommendation for a notice to be served on the owner and ‘all interested parties’ to permanently clear the site of rubble and to screen the resultant empty site to the reasonable satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority.
Committee Chairman Cllr Tony Brinsden said: "The current state of this important site is extremely detrimental to Tenby; it is a mess and the National Park Authority shares the concerns of many local people who want to see it cleared.
"The Authority has the power, under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, to serve a Section 215 Notice to require the owner to clear the site within a specified period – in this case 3 months - and that is the action Members have agreed to take today."
