WHITESANDS Beach could soon be kitted out with all the luxuries you would expect from a seaside resort.

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority is due to discuss plans to site sun loungers, deck chairs, beach wheelchairs and wind breaks at the beach during its Development Management Committee on September 10.

The hire concession would take up a parcel of land adjacent to the main car park, measuring 5m by 5m. The hire equipment would be out from 8am to 8pm from March 1 to October 31.

The latest application follows a history of three previous temporary approvals for the same use which was first granted back in May 2005, followed by January 2006 and April this year.

The committee report states: “The site is considered to be appropriately located adjacent to the developed area of the coast and the proposed activity is considered to be compatible with adjacent users.

“The proposal provides a low-key convenient facility which helps support the local economy and encourage visitors to use the beach. Therefore the continuation of this use will cause no lasting impact on the character and appearance of the area, and therefore permission is recommended for a further three year period subject to no adverse comments being received from statutory consultees which cannot be overcome by condition.”

The application from the National Park was advertised by a display of site notice on August 14, 2014 and a letter sent to the adjacent property which is the Whitesands Rescue Station. No formal responses have been received at the time of the report’s publication.

St Davids City Council has given its backing to the plans and the Environment Agency raised no objection to the last application. The organisation has since merged into Natural Resources Wales which had been consulted, however no response was received at the time of writing the report.
