In an application to Pembrokeshire County Council, AA House Ltd, through agent Argent Architects, sought permission for a partial change of use of Lamphey Hall Hotel, Lamphey, reducing the area given to catering facilities in favour of a new two-bed residential apartment. The building is believed to date from the 19th century, constructed originally as a rectory. A supporting statement said: “The hotel currently offers an in-house carvery to support its accommodation facilities, albeit accessible to the public. “As a result of the above, the in-house catering facilities have become unsustainable, with negligible uptake giving a net financial loss. Local community council Lamphey objected to the application, saying: “We understand that the work to the building has already taken place and therefore this application is a retrospective application.
