Amended plans to recreate St Marys College cloister at St Davids Cathedral are still not to the satisfaction of National Park officials.

A report to be presented to the Parks development control committee today (Wednesday) says the revised plans have failed to address the authoritys concerns.

The authority has asked the architect to withdraw the plans until a satisfactory scheme is prepared - or until such time as all possible matters are resolved.

This is the second time the plans have not met with the Parks approval. The authoritys concerns include the use of wood and glazing which they say appears to borrow its character from places other than Pembrokeshire.

The officials also object to a blind nine-metre masonry and rendered wall to the west walk.

The Dean and Chapter of St Davids Cathedral say that although 275,000 visitors are welcomed every year, the most basic visitor facilities are lacking.

They say the cathedral is small and lacks ancillary buildings such as vestries, offices and meeting rooms.

The plans propose a major two-storey rebuilding of the cloister which would infill the area between the cathedral and St Marys Hall.

In addition to the cloister walkway and garden, the proposal includes: Facilities for screating a new treasury space, improve St Marys Hall, creating a viable exhibition space and protecting the structure of the cathedral.
