Plans for a new management and visitor building at a north Pembrokeshire caravan park have been given the go-ahead.
In an application to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Matthew Baker of Caravand ltd, through agent Kinver Kreations Ltd, sought permission for a replacement caravan park management and visitor building at Newport Bay Caravan Parklands, Maes Ingli, Parrog, Newport.
An officer report, recommending approval, said the proposed building at Newport Bay Caravan Park. The proposed building would accommodate a sales room, accessible shower and toilet facilities compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), a laundry room, storage space, maintenance facilities, and staff welfare and training areas.
“The replacement building aims to modernise and improve the facilities for both visitors and staff, enhancing operational efficiency and accessibility,” the report said, adding: “The proposal is consistent with the site’s established use as a caravan park and is intended to support the continued sustainable operation of the business.”
It went on to say: “The building is no longer considered fit for purpose, and its replacement is sought in order to provide appropriate, modern facilities to support the ongoing management and operation of the caravan park, as well as to improve accessibility for visitors and working conditions for staff.
“The proposal seeks full planning permission for the demolition of this building and the construction of a replacement management and visitor facility on the same footprint. The new building is designed to significantly enhance the functionality, accessibility, and visual quality of the site.”
It finished: “The overall scale of development is modest and appropriate to the existing use of the site. The new structure is designed to blend modern, high-quality materials with a form and finish that respects the site’s rural and coastal character.”
The application was conditionally approved by officers.
