Reason: In order to maintain and enhance biodiversity, in accordance 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), GN.37 (Protection and Enhancement of Biodiversity) and GN.38 (Protection and Enhancement of the Historic Environment) of the LDP and Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023. 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 Section 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended) it is an offence to kill or injure any wild bird, take, damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while that nest is in use or being built. Established working practice avoids works to any hedgerow, tree or other vegetation where birds may reasonably be expected to make their nest (such as scrub) between 1 March and 31 August in any year. However, should work need to be done within this time frame then a suitably qualified ecologist should establish that nesting birds are absent by a Nesting Bird Check. Failure to undertake this check and causing harm to a nest that is being built or in use will constitute a wildlife crime.
