This informative is intended only to be a summary of the reasons for the granting of planning permission. For further details on the decision, please see the application report under the above reference.
- This permission shall not be construed as granting rights to carry out works on, or over, land not within the ownership, or control, of the applicant.
- You must obtain the prior written consent of the owner and occupier of any land upon which it is necessary for you to enter in order to construct, externally finish, decorate or in any other way carry out any works in connection with this development including future repairs/maintenance, or to obtain support from adjoining property. This permission does not authorise you to take such action without first obtaining this consent. Your attention is also drawn to the Access of Neighbouring Land Act 1992 and Party Wall Act 1996.
- The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 makes it a criminal offence to damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird whilst that nest is in use or being built. The birds and their nests are protected by legislation and therefore active nests cannot be moved or destroyed until the chicks have fledged. Prior to any works being undertaken on the barn a suitably qualified ecologist must check the barn for the presence of nesting birds or pigeons. Should an active nest be found then a 5m buffer is to be established around the nest. The nest is to be checked regularly until such time the chicks have fledged. Once the chicks have fledged then the works can commence.
- The temporary welfare facilities shall be permanently removed from the site prior to the first use of the development hereby approved. Reason: To retain an acceptable form of delopment in accordance with policies SP 1, SP 16 and GN.1 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (Adopted 28 February 2013).
- No development shall commence until percolation tests for the proposed drainage field site have been submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority. The drainage field shall be completed in accordance with the approved details prior to the first use of the building and maintained in perpetuity. Reason: To provide adequate service infrastructure and to ensure that animal and plant species and habitats listed under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 (as amended) and the ecological interests of the site are adequately protected and to comply with policies GN.1 and GN.37 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013) and Section 6 of PPW (Edition 12).[
