In an application to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, Mr and Mrs Graham, through agent RPC Design & Architecture Ltd sought permission for a change of Cants Cottage, a boarding house for the former Netherwood Boarding School, St Issells, near Saundersfoot, to a home, along with associated works. An officer report recommending approval said the proposed works “comprise the enlargement of the cottage through the construction of an adjoining single-bay garage, replacement front porch and replacement single-story side extension”. It added: “The proposal would see the renovation and extension of Cants Cottage, which has recently been purchased and was formerly used for accommodation linked to Netherwood Boarding School. “The cottage, formerly used as boarding accommodation, has been vacant for several years and, consequently, has fallen into a poor state of repair, evidenced by boarded-up fenestrations and slipped roof tiles. It said pre-application advice had been sought for a similar scheme, but for a replacement dwelling; a 2025 application being subsequently withdrawn.
