Reason: In the interests of amenity and to comply with the requirements of policy GN.1 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (Adopted 28th February 2013).

Any new trees planted in accordance with the approved scheme which, within a period of 5 years after planting are removed, die, become diseased or damaged, shall be replaced with plants or trees of similar size and specification. 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).
- Any external lighting proposed in connection with the approved development shall be positioned at a low level, downward facing, hooded, have a light temperature below 2700k and on a short PIR activated timer and retained as such thereafter. Reason: In the interests of biodiversity and to accord with Policy GN.37 (Protection and Enhancement of Biodiversity) 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, GN.1, GN.2, GN.22 and GN.37. 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.
- It is recommended that the applicant be informed that all British bat species are European Protected Species by virtue of their listing under Annex IV of EC Directive 92/43/EEC (‘The Habitats Directive’). This Directive has been transposed into British Law under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017. British bats are also protected under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981) (as amended). It is a criminal offence to intentionally, or recklessly disturb, harm, or kill bats or to destroy a bat 'roost', even if only occasionally used. If bats are encountered on site works should stop immediately an NRW should be contacted (Natural Resources Wales, - General Enquiries: enquiries@naturalresourceswales.gov.uk or 0300 065 3000 Mon-Fri, 8am - 6pm) a licence may then need to be applied for from NRW. Licences are not automatically granted by virtue of a valid planning consent and it may be possible that the necessary licence application may be refused.
- This application has been screened in accordance with Natural Resources Wales’ interim advice for planning applications within the river Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) catchments. It is considered that this development is unlikely to increase phosphate and nitrate inputs as it falls within the following criterion in the interim advice: Criterion 3: Development to an existing residential property (e.g. extensions) that does not result in the creation of independent living accommodation, a separate planning unit and/or a change in use, where it can no longer be said to be ancillary to the main residence.
- Prior to the occupation of the development hereby approved, a scheme for surface water disposal shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall include an assessment of the sites potential for disposing of surface water by means of a sustainable drainage system, with the results of the assessment provided to the local planning authority. The scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details prior to the first benificial use of the extension and car parking area, hereby approved and retained as such for as long as the development exists. Reason: To ensure that a satisfactory means of drainage is provided, and to accord with policy GN.1 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
