24 new, affordable apartments earmarked for Milford Haven
Twenty-four new, affordable homes for the elderly are being earmarked for the site of the former Motor World building in Milford Haven.
The Pembrokeshire County Council schemeseeks permission to build 24 affordable apartments at 70A-80A Charles Street. These will comprise 21 one-bed apartments and three two-bedroom apartments at the four-storey building. There will also be a communal residents' lounge on each floor, together with ten on-site parking spaces and landscaping with trees.
The former Motor World site was cleared in 2018 to enable its re-development, with planning permission granted on the site for the development of 15 affordable apartments for over 55's in 2020. The following year however, the site's former contractors, WRW construction, was put into administration.
The latest application, submitted through agent DPP Planning, follows a public consultation earlier this year and seeks to increase the number of apartments from 15 to 24.
"The design proposals aim to place a new building within Charles Street which respects the existing character of the street in terms of form, scale and materials, but which also delivers a building which is immediately recognisable within the street through its design quality and the sense of place it creates," states the application report.
The application will be considered by planners at a later date.
