New play area earmarked for Pembrokeshire Wildlife Park
Plans are being submitted for a new play area to be established at the Welsh Wildlife Centre in north Pembrokeshire.
The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales is seeking permission for a children’s play area at the Welsh Wildlife Centre in Cilgerran, near Cardigan. The area will comprise a timber play equipment and associated ground works.
The site of the proposed play area is located on an informal grassland meadow recreation area to the northwest of the visitor centre. The applicants have stated that it will be constructed using natural materials include durable Robinia hardwood logs and sawn timber, with ropes and hand-woven nets manufactured using steel reinforced polypropylene with the appearance of traditional hemp cordage.
A supporting statement accompanying the application says the design proposal, produced by Earth Wrights Ltd, is about “increasing play value and creating a place inclusive for everyone”.
The proposed play area will be small scale and will extend to 100 square metres in surface area, and two metres in height. This will ensure that the timber play equipment will be visually unobtrusive with no adverse impacts on the local landscape.
The Wildlife Trust of South & West Wales (WTSWW) is the fourth largest Wildlife Trust in the UK, managing 110 nature reserves, including Skomer and Skokholm island.
The application will now be considered by Pembrokeshire County Council's planning officials at a later date.
