Plans to site public use storage containers close to a Pembrokeshire village’s railway station have been submitted to county planners.
The application by S Fussell, through agent Gethin Beynon, seeks permission to site the 25 containers on an existing storage yard by Clunderwen railway station.
A supporting statement accompanying the application says: “The application seeks permission to site 25 containers to serve as a storage facility for a public use. The application site is located immediately to the north of the Clunderwen railway line and forms an existing storage and laydown yard.”
It adds: “The containers would all be accessed and open from the north elevation. The container frontage would be fenced off via post and rail fencing for security purposes with parking for 9 vehicles being provided. A turning head to the northwest of the site would be provided to provide accessibility to and from the storage compound. In terms of material finishes the containers would be of a conventional rectangular form and be constructed from steel.”
It says the proposal would “have a positive economic and social impact through employment construction via the development,” with minimal environmental impacts, based on the containers being sited in an existing storage and distribution yard, adding: “In terms of the proposal’s scale design and character, the modular form of the containers being adjacent to the railway line are in keeping with the immediate semi-industrial character of the area.”
The application will be considered by planners at a later date.
