Decision & conditions
Planning conditions
- The simple rectangular form and metal finish of the shipping container, would introduce a rudimentary, plain and incongruous structure into the site, which would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area. Furthermore, the scale and siting of the shipping container immediately adjacent to the boundary wall creates an overbearing and visually intrusive feature, with associated concerns regarding and overbearing and unneighbourly impact of the adjoining garden. As such the proposal would be contrary to the requirements of policy GN.1 (General Development Policy) and Policy GN.2 (Sustainable Design) of the Local Development Plan (adopted 28th February 2013.
- The application fails to identify the green infrastructure baseline of the site and follow a stepwise approach to provide sufficient and accurate mitigation and compensation measures. As such the development fails to comply with policies SP 1 (Sustainable Development), criteria 3 and 4 of GN.1 (General Development Policy) and policy GN.37 (Protection and Enhancement of Biodiversity) of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013), Pembrokeshire County Council Supplementary Planning Guidance: Biodiversity, May 2021 and Planning Policy Wales, Edition 12 and the Environment Wales Act 2016.
