🚨 Tensions Rise in Saundersfoot Over Traveller Site Plans 🚨
Residents in the idyllic Saundersfoot are up in arms over revived plans for a traveller site just a stone’s throw from the beach. The proposal, submitted by David ‘Dai’ Evans and Hayston Developments & Planning Ltd, comes on the heels of nearly 300 objections and a previous rejection. 🏞️
Locals are concerned about the potential impact on the stunning Pembrokeshire landscape—an area cherished for its natural beauty. Critics argue that authorising the development could set a dangerous precedent, leading to overdevelopment throughout the national park. The initial rejection cited concerns about harm to the landscape and insufficient details on its ecological impact. 🌿
The Evans family, with deep roots in the Romany Gypsy tradition, currently reside in less-than-ideal conditions in Pontypool. They’ve long visited Saundersfoot during summers, a tradition dating back to the late ’80s. With their renewed application, they’re promising extensive site improvements and biodiversity gains. 🌳
While an enforcement notice is currently in place, the applicants are keen to address past issues and showcase enhancements like extensive screening and ecological benefits. Their proposal highlights the national guidance encouraging consideration of rural sites for such developments due to a shortage of suitable locations near existing settlements. 🌍
The updated application will await review, and it’s sure to spark further debate in the community. Stay tuned for more updates on this hot-button issue! 📢
