The town is located within the very popular tourist area of south Pembrokeshire which is centred around the award winning resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot (10 miles away). Consequently, Narberth attracts thousands of visitors to its highly regarded niche shopping offering. The site of the former County Primary School has a large frontage onto Moorfield Road, and is located just north of High Street which serves as the main commercial, leisure and retail district for the town. Narberth has a strong retail centre composed of shops and restaurants, not only serving local needs but also speciality retailers who attract custom from the surrounding agricultural community as well as tourists who have an important role in the town economy.
The site available consists of the area edged red on the plan opposite. Please note that the council is retaining the car park to satisfy parking requirements in the town. The available site, (highlighted in blue opposite) amounts to 0.59 acres (0.24ha) with the existing building amounting to 1,010 sq m (10,870 sq ft)
The council wishes to secure a re-use of the site which adds to the vitality, visual amenity and commercial strength of Narberth town centre. Suitable proposals may include retail and other compatible town centre uses, potentially including residential. The council encourages proposals that build on the existing strengths of the town’s commercial, leisure and retail offering. The council will look favourably on proposals which are imaginative and innovative to bring maximum benefit to the following areas: • Visual amenity
• Adding to the retail strength and variety of the town centre • Maximising site value
