Reason: To protect the wildlife and the ecological interests of the site, in accordance with policies GN.1 and GN.37 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
- The provision of green infrastructure comprising the planting of a fruit tree detailed in the Green Infrastructure Statement and P2, 01, Proposed site plan, dated 10/10/2025 shall be carried out in the first planting season following first use of the extension hereby approved or completion of the development, whichever is sooner. Any plants or trees which within a period of 5 years following first use of the extension hereby approved or from completion of the development, whichever is sooner die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased shall be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species. Reason: To protect and enhance biodiversity interests and to accord with Policies GN.1 and GN.37 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
- Having regard to the details of the application proposals, and the relevant provisions of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013) as summarised below • Policies SP 1 (Sustainable Development), GN.1 (General Development Policy), GN.2 (Sustainable Design) and GN.37 (Protection and Enhancement of Biodiversity). 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: Criterion 5: Developments intended to provide services, facilities, commercial sites, or places of employment for a local population already served by residential connections to existing public or private sewers discharging within the SAC catchment.
- Notwithstanding the information contained within the application, prior to the completion of the development details of a scheme for the disposal of surface water has been submitted to and agreed in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall include the position of the proposed soakaway and details of suitability of ground conditions for the proposed method of water disposal. The scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details prior to the first use of the development hereby approved and retained for as long as the development exists. Reason: To ensure that a satisfactory means of drainage is provided, and to accord with policies GN.1 and GN.2 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
