The proposed works detailed in the submission, along with an associated Listed Building Consent application, involve alterations to the rear elevation windows at first and second floor levels and on staircase landings, sealing up modern openings tailored for the building's past hotel function, fitting replacement sash windows, and expanding some original window openings, among other modifications. An accompanying statement explains: "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." It continues, "Houses 1 and 2 have been combined and have been converted into apartments. Article continues below "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." The document also notes that "repair and stabilisation of the building has been ongoing for the last two years or so."

It highlights that the proposed works "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".

"The works will involve the minimum amount of intervention necessary in order to achieve the optimal result. "The outcome of the works will enhance the property's overall appearance and utility and thereby have a beneficial impact on the Tenby Conservation Area." Article continues below The application is set to be reviewed by park planners at a forthcoming date.
