Decision & conditions
Planning conditions
- With a bedroom, separate bathroom and kitchen facilities and in the absence of any compelling justification, the proposed annex element contains all the facilities of a completely independent, self-contained residential unit. As a result, the proposal would introduce a new residential unit within the garden of the host dwelling which would be out of keeping with the established pattern and character of development within the local area. In such terms, the proposal is contrary to the strategic aims of Policy SP 1 (Sustainable Development), along with the detailed criterion 1 of Policy GN.1 (General Development) and criterion 2 of Policy GN.2 (Sustainable Design) of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
- The proposed replacement garage with first floor annex, would fail to respect the character, context and spatial arrangement of the built form of the existing bungalow. The discordant approach would dominate the rear garden, having a significant detrimental visual impact, when viewed from the neighbour’s rear garden to the north and from the public realm along the A478, New Hedges By-pass, cycle-path and footway, failing to accord with criterion 1 of policy GN.1 (General Development Policy) and criteria 1 and 2 of policy GN.2 (Sustainable Design) of the Local Development Plan (adopted 28 February 2013). Furthermore, the proposed development would be at odds with the aims of Technical Advice Note (TAN) 12: Design (2016) and Planning Policy Wales (Edition 12, February 2024).
- This decision relates to the following drawings: 1/1250 Scale Location Plan; 1/250 Scale Proposed Site Plan; Proposed Floor Plans; and Proposed Elevations.
