Decision & conditions
Planning conditions
- Policy GN.28 (Local Needs Affordable Housing) and adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance (Affordable Housing) require affordable housing provision on all new housing developments. In this case, a commuted sum is required and no original signed Unilateral Undertaking and Certificate of Title has been provided to secure this payment. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy GN.28 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28th February 2013), Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Guidance and Future Wales, The National Plan 2040, February 2021.
- In the absence of an appropriate Preliminary Ecology Appraisal undertaken by a suitably competent person, the proposal fails to demonstrate that the development would not adversely affect protected species and habitats, thereby reducing biodiversity. In addition, the submitted Green Infrastructure Statement contains insufficient information on the loss of existing hedgerow habitat, scrub and grassland and their subsequent mitigation. In such terms, the proposal conflicts with policies SP 1 (Sustainable Development), criterion 4 of policy GN.1 (General Development Policy) and policy GN.37 (Protection and Enhancement of Biodiversity) of the adopted Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
- The application site lies within the catchment of the River Teifi Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The application fails to provide sufficient information for the method for the disposal of foul waste. In consequence, there is a risk that the proposed development will lead to an adverse impact on the integrity of the River Teifi SAC. As such insufficient information has been provided that a suitable means of foul drainage would be provided by the proposed development contrary to the provisions of Policy SP 1 (Sustainable Development), GN.1 (General Development Policy) and GN.37 (Protection and Enhancement of Biodiversity) of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
