Pembrokeshire council refuses permission for glamping pod at caravan site

Pembrokeshire County Council has refused retrospective permission for a glamping pod at a rural caravan site near Kilgetty. The application, submitted by Janice Palin, sought to retain the pod and change the use of land for short-term visitor accommodation at Woodstock, Cold Inn. The site is a Caravan and Motorhome Club Certificated Location with a capacity of five caravans or motorhomes. The refusal was based on the pod not relating to an enterprise for which a countryside location is essential and introducing new residential development for holiday accommodation in an area where it is not permitted; the application also lacked a Green Infrastructure Statement.
