Broad Haven holiday lodge used for 50 years call approved
A supporting statement said the applicants had owned the property 'located on an established family run holiday park of Canadian cedarwood lodges in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park' since 1975; the site advertised on Pembrokeshire's official website for tourism information, visitpembrokeshire.com.
It added: 'The use of the seasonal holiday cabin is restricted to nine months of the year by the site owner and detailed in the lease for the site. The cabin has been used within the parameters of this lease for in excess of 10 years. A full year-round occupancy of the cabin is not permitted by the site owner, although there is no planning condition restricting occupancy.
'When the site was first proposed for development as a caravan site in 1969, permission was granted subject to restricted occupancy conditions. However, when the site was changed to cedar lodges, the restricted occupancy condition was omitted by the local authority in error.'
It went on to say: 'In terms of the assessment of whether the premises could properly be regarded as a permanent dwellinghouse, the cabin is a timber-built structure, unsuitable for occupancy during the winter months and does not meet the building regulation requirements for a permanent dwelling.
'The applicants seek to retain its lawful use as seasonal holiday accommodation,' adding they considered a suitably-worded condition restricting its use to seasonal-only should be attached to any permission.
It concluded: 'The use of the seasonal holiday cabin would not have any land use consequences that would lead to the conclusion that a material change of use would occur. Accordingly, we conclude that in accordance with the said statutory framework, planning permission should be approved for the use of the property as proposed in this application, namely seasonal holiday accommodation.'
The application was conditionally approved by park planners.

Ryanair traveller 'can't believe' £16.99 flight doesn't have basic thing
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video It's a horror story in two words: No Wi-Fi. But this was reality for one man who had no internet connection on his Ryanair flight to Benidorm that he paid just £16.99 for. Graham White, 48, boarded a flight from Newcastle to Alicante, a city about 30 miles west of the holiday hotspot, on July 25 with his friend. His mate assumed that the plane would have on-board Wi-Fi, only to realise he'd have to rawdog the flight and, we assume, be filled with existential dread. In an exchange captured on TikTok, Graham asked the flight attendants why the internet wasn't working thousands of miles up in the air. One replied: 'We don't do Wi-Fi.' Not giving up that easily, Graham half-joked: 'Would the pilot let me use his hotspot?' Another cabin crew member clarified they 'don't have it at all', something that Graham's friend 'couldn't believe', he said. Sitting behind him, his friend remarked: 'You're lucky you have a seatbelt; you're on Ryanair.' And at least one user agreed, writing: 'No Wi-Fi, but their card machines work to sell you things.' On whether there's Wi-Fi on their planes, Ryanair's website states, rather simply: 'No.' While Graham would be fine without internet on a short-haul flight, medical experts warn against trying to rawdog long-haul trips. Rawdogging – surviving a task without a cushion – on a trip tends to include reading a book rather than watching Netflix. Travel rawdoggers have previously told Metro how trips are a great excuse to do a digital detox. But others online have taken it to mean going without food, water or moving, just staring into the abyss of the in-flight map for eight hours. This version of rawdogging is too, well, raw, for experts like Tobba Vigfusdóttir, psychologist and CEO of Kara Connect. She said: 'Some people may find it more relaxing to engage in familiar activities like reading or watching a movie, which can also provide a sense of comfort and escapism.'

Tourists fly 10 hours for European destination's main attraction but reality leaves them floored
Tourists visiting a European hotspot have been left shocked after one of its main attractions was covered up by a picture due to maintenance work in the area A tourist who flew over 10 hours to see a European travel hotspot's main attraction was left floored when he arrived. Young Cho flew from South Korea to Finland in order to visit Helsinki. The city is well known for its cultural destinations boasting a raft of museums, art galleries, theatres, and a huge national concert hall. One of the most popular tourist spots in the city is the Senate Square and cathedral. The square contains some of Helsinki's oldest buildings, dating back to the 1700s, and is surrounded by the city's historic cathedral, Government Palace, and the University of Helsinki. The area has long fought to be dubbed a World Heritage Site. However tourists visiting Helsinki are today welcomed by a sight much different from what they might expect. The cathedral has currently been covered by a picture of itself and the facade fenced off with barriers as work is being done to build a new underground power station, water well, and sewage system. Officials hope it will help events held in the area and improve basic infrastructure. It is thought the work will be carried out in phases until November. Questions had been asked as to why the work had been done in the height of tourist season. But project construction team manager Annina Mattsson explained: 'The square was reserved for a defence forces event at the beginning of July, so work could not start before that. The work on the stairs will be completed before the Helsinki Festival in August.' It will be little relief to Young Cho however, after he travelled hundreds of miles to see a picture of the cathedral. He told MTV Uutiset: 'I think it's very beautiful but this is just a picture. We flew here for 10 hours so it is a little bit disappointing.' Kristina Almén from Sweden would have liked to take home a photo of the real church as a souvenir. 'Now I don't know what this actually looks like.' Other tourists however have accepted that the building work has to go ahead. Henrik Caroe Gjellebol, who was visiting from Denmark, said: 'Of course it would be nice to see it finished with the renovation but I fully understand it needs to be done from time to time. 'What can I say? I would love to see it another time when the renovation is finished.' While Canadian Cindy Hardy says there are other buildings to visit in Helsinki. She commented: 'It's a little disappointing because it would be nice to see it as it's meant to be seen but Helsinki though has so many beautiful buildings so there's lots to see. 'We did notice that there's a lot of construction going on or renovations but there's so much beauty in all of the buildings around.'
