Plans to site a takeaway food kiosk at a former lifeboat store in a Pembrokeshire seaside town have been submitted to the national park.
Ruby Goodrick is seeking permission from Pembrokeshire coast National Park planners to turn the old RNLI lifeboat store, Penniless Cove, Tenby Harbour into a takeaway food outlet, open 10am-10pm seven days a week.
A supporting statement accompanying the application says she has a five-year lease from the council to use the site; an accompanying flood risk assessment saying the beach-side site is not at risk of tidal flooding is considered low risk.
Caution has been raised by the national park’s conservation officer, who said: “In terms of the impact on the character of Tenby conservation area, the use of the harbour area remains largely as a working place.
“Great care is needed not to introduce inappropriate commercial use or an unacceptable level of such, the harbour is already served by a kiosk selling hot drinks and small snacks.”
The application will be considered by park planners at a later date.
