- 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, SP 16, GN.1, GN.2 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.
- Pembrokeshire County Council as SuDS Approving Body (SAB) considers that by virtue of the fact that the construction area having drainage implications appears to be in excess of 100 square metres, the proposed works may require SAB approval. Please see www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/planning-contacts/sustainable-drainage-approving-body-sab for more information. The applicant should be made aware that if there is a breach of the requirement for SAB approval (i.e. when construction work is commenced without SAB approval); the SAB may at any time issue an enforcement notice. The failure to obtain SAB approval may have a detrimental effect upon the future sale of the properties, which could also result in insurance applications and or flood event settlements being compromised.
