Pembrokeshire County Council has approved plans to demolish a former bowling alley at Cawdor Barracks in Brawdy. VIVO Defence Services Ltd submitted the application, stating the building is dilapidated and no longer in use.

The site, part of a British Army Ministry of Defence area, features a single-storey masonry structure with a metal sheet roof. The demolition will leave the existing concrete slab as hardstanding, with no immediate plans for redevelopment.

A bat survey noted the presence of common and soprano pipistrelle bats, as well as brown long-eared bats, requiring mitigation measures during demolition to protect these species and nesting birds. The council's ecologist confirmed that the proposals would maintain the populations of these species in a favorable conservation status.
