A scheme to convert a Pembrokeshire town home to “well-designed shared accommodation” for five tenants has been submitted to county planners.
In an application to Pembrokeshire County Council, Marcelina Morgan, through agent CCS Solutions Ltd, sought permission for a change of use of a dwelling at Cleddau View, Merlins Terrace, Haverfordwest to a house in multiple occupation.
A supporting statement said the existing four-bed home would, if approved, become a five-bed multiple occupation unit with two bedrooms on the ground floor and three on the first.
It also includes internal alterations, refurbishment works, and minor external alterations to the property in the established residential area.
It added: “The proposal seeks to improve the quality and functionality of the existing property, delivering well-designed shared accommodation whilst retaining the existing building envelope.”
Of the development, it added: “The proposed development reuses an existing dwelling in a sustainable location, provides high-quality shared accommodation, involves minimal external alteration, maintains acceptable amenity standards, has no adverse highway impact, [and] delivers biodiversity enhancements.”
It said the scheme would not see any extensions, external enlargements, or increase in footprint, retaining the existing built form and site layout.
It also said the proposal “does not adversely affect any existing green infrastructure” and “provides measurable biodiversity enhancements through bird and bat boxes”.
The application will be considered by county planners at a later date.
