In Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire, residents and the local community council have expressed ongoing opposition to a third planning application for a traveller site at Froghall Yard. Objectors have raised concerns regarding environmental impacts, specifically the clearing of broadleaved woodland, and alleged unauthorized occupation of the site despite previous enforcement notices.

Following these objections, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority has recommended the refusal of the application. Previous rejections of the site, which includes a static caravan, a touring caravan, and a utility room, cited unacceptable landscape impacts and a lack of capacity for caravan development within the national park. The applicant has contested the authority’s position, stating that some site clearance occurred before the land was purchased in 2023.
