A Tenby takeaway dream has finally come true! A former RNLI lifeboat station at Tenby Harbour just got the green light to become a cold food takeaway—and yes, it’s been a bit of a saga. Initially turned down because it was a mere 25 metres outside the town centre boundary, the application has now triumphed in appeal. Ruby Goodrick’s vision for a charming harbourside kiosk will soon come to life, operating daily from 10am to 10pm.
Local objections initially swayed the committee’s decision, but fresh eyes saw the sense in the plan. The appeal report concluded that this small-scale venture won’t harm Tenby’s town centre; in fact, it might just add a little extra sizzle to the mix, encouraging diverse uses at the edge of the town.
Concerns about crowd chaos and conservation impacts? Barely a blip on the radar. The decision noted that any potential queue outside won’t clash with other harbour users, and the new takeaway will fit right into its historic surroundings. Plus, it’s not likely to worsen refuse levels. Seems like the takeaway is set to be a tasty addition to Tenby’s rich tapestry of local businesses!
