A hotel site that was ravaged by a fire in 2019 is on the market after planning permission was granted to build a new Pembrokeshire care home.

The commercial space in Pembroke Dock that used to belong to Cleddau Bridge Hotel is listed at £1,200,000.

The Essex Road site was granted outline planning permission to be converted into a 55-70 bed care home and six retirement bungalows in 2023.

The site contains 2.45 acres of space and is located 120m from the A477.

This comes after planning consent was conditionally approved by Pembrokeshire County Council in February 2023 for the ‘Demolition of Hotel and Siting of Residential Care Home and linked Bungalows.’

The building suffered structural damage and some of its sections completely collapsed which led to a new application for demolition and a new build.

As for the bungalows, the application proposed these would be occupied by other elderly people who would help at the care home.

Planning permission had previously been justified for a care home in the location following the change of use of the former hotel.

The blaze in March 2019 saw emergency services attend from Pembroke Dock, Haverfordwest, Milford Haven, Tenby, Ammanford, Aberystwyth and Swansea.

A total of seven fire engines attended the incident and a high-volume water pump was used.

According to Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, the fire was started deliberately.

However, Dyfed-Powys Police concluded there was not enough evidence to identify a suspect.
