Plans to transform former Tenby seafront hotel submitted

In an application to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Fourcroft Management Ltd, through agent David J P Morgan RIBA Architect, seeks permission for works to the Grade-II-listed former Fourcroft Hotel, The Croft, Tenby. The works in the application, and an accompanying Listed Building Consent application, include changes in fenestration on the rear facade at first floor and second floor levels and on staircase landings, blocking up modern openings formed to suit the previous hotel use, replacement sash windows and enlarging some original window opens, and other works. A supporting statement says: 'The Former Fourcroft Hotel formed part of a classical and historically significant Georgian terrace overlooking Tenby North beach. The terrace was originally 11 individual dwellings. Over the years there have been alterations, and the originality of the individual houses has been lost. 'Houses 1 and 2 have been combined and have been converted into apartments. Houses 3,4,5 and 6 were integrated to form the Fourcroft Hotel. Houses 7-11 remain visually, as single houses although have been converted internally into apartments. 'Repair and stabilisation of the building has been ongoing for the last two years or so.' The statement says the current application 'precedes a full application for change of use of the former Hotel and for alterations to the basement and ground floor facade including extensions and terraces in order to facilitate the new proposed use,' with the applications for alterations done in stages 'due to legal complications over existing leases connected to the hotel'. It says the works in the current scheme 'will be positive and will not affect the architectural or historic interest of the building to a degree that would alter its special interest in any significant way but will certainly preserve that interest'. It adds: 'The repairs and interventions proposed are sympathetic to the age and construction of this Grade-II-listed building and will sensitively upgrade and repair its historic fabric. The works will involve the minimum amount of intervention necessary in order to achieve the optimal result. 'The result of the works will be to improve the property's overall appearance and utility and in so doing will have a positive effect in the Tenby Conservation Area.' The application will be considered by park planners at a later date.

Plans for railway station car park entrance given the green light

PLANS to alter an entrance to the car park at Carlisle railway station have been approved. It is part of a wider project to redevelop the land around the main building. The entrance is located in Collier Lane, off Court Square. Members of Cumberland Council's planning committee met at the Civic Centre in Carlisle on Wednesday (February 19) to consider the planning application. Stephen Daniel, a planning officer at the council, told members that the entrance would be widened, with part of a sandstone wall removed to enable better access. The report states: 'The Court Square public realm works include the relocation of all Network Rail staff parking to the car park to the front of the station, with the car park also being used for parking for those with disabilities. 'Access to this car park would be via the archway to Collier Lane or from Crown Street, with egress being via Crown Street. 'To enable the required vehicle access into the car park area a section of the stone boundary wall, including a red sandstone pier, would need to be demolished and these works require Listed Building Consent. 'The existing sandstone would be carefully removed, salvaged and re-used to erect a new sandstone wall adjacent to the widened access. 'The stonework that forms the existing red sandstone pier would be carefully removed and reused within the reconstructed wall at a reduced height. 'The proposals also show a brick pier that adjoins the rear of Carlisle Station Hotel being demolished and the rendered wall that it is attached to being made good.' Councillor Roger Dobson (Corby and Hayton, Lib Dems) said: 'I think this is very straightforward.' When it was put to the vote it was unanimously supported by the members of the planning committee.
