Plans to convert a former GP surgery in Pembrokeshire’s only city to a home and to build a holiday let have been lodged with the national park.
In an application to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Alice and Danjal Joensen, through agent Oochitecture, seek permission for a change of use of the ground floor of the former GP surgery, Eryl Mor, 36, New Street, St Davids, merging with the existing first-floor apartment to create a larger single dwelling house, along with the creation of an attached short-term holiday let.
The GP surgery is currently vacant, following its closure in October 2024 after new partners could not be secured.
A supporting statement says, prior to being a GP surgery, the two storey element was a single dwelling house.
It adds: “The house would consist of an open plan kitchen-living space to the ground floor, along with a study, lounge and utility room. The first floor includes four double bedrooms with an ensuite and main bathroom.
“The new unit of accommodation would form a holiday-let with two double bedrooms, shower room, and an open plan kitchen-living space.
“The GP surgery is currently vacant, following its closure in October 2024 after new partners could not be secured, therefore the proposed change of use will provide a viable long-term future use for the property.”
It says minimal external alterations are proposed to the property with existing entrances utilised for both the main house and holiday-let, adding: “The existing concrete ramp to the front elevation will be retained with proposed works including extending the upper level and steps to provide a connection to the front door, allowing for accessible entrance to the property.
“There will be no changes to vehicular or pedestrian access, with the site continuing to be accessed via the existing entrance from New Street. Parking will be provided for the main house and holiday-let on the existing tarmac driveway off New Street.”
The application will be considered by Park planners at a later date.
