It is considered that subject to compliance with the conditions attached in this permission, the proposed development would be in accordance with the Development Plan. 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.
- This Decision Notice grants planning permission. You are advised that it does not constitute approval under the Building Regulations.
- Under the Habitats Regulations, where a plan or project is likely to have a significant effect on a European site, either alone or in combination with other plans or projects, and where it is not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the site previously (designated pursuant to EU retained law) the competent authority must carry out an appropriate assessment of the implication of the plan or project in view of the site’s conservation objectives. Natural Resources Wales has set new nitrates and phosphate standards for the river SACs in Wales. Any proposed development within the SAC catchments that might increase the amount of nitrates and phosphate within the catchment could lead to additional damaging effects to the SAC features and therefore such proposals must be screened through a HRA to determine whether they are likely to have a significant effect on the SAC condition. - This application has been screened in accordance with Natural Resources Wales’ Advice to planning authorities for planning applications affecting nutrient sensitive Special Areas of Conservation (Version 5.1, published 09/02/2026). It is considered that this development is unlikely to increase nitrogen inputs as it falls within the following criterion in the interim advice: Criteria 2: development that does not increase the volume or concentration of wastewater
- The materials to be used in the construction of the reconstructed stone wall hereby approved shall match those used in the existing wall in terms of type, colour, texture, and finish. Reason: To ensure a good standard of design that is in keeping with the character and appearance of the existing stone wall and to accord with policies GN.1 and GN.2 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
