Decision & conditions
Planning conditions
- The development shall begin no later than five years from the date of this decision. Reason: To comply with the requirements of Section 91 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).
- The development shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans and documents: C102 - Proposed Block Plan; 1076A-C103 - Proposed Elevations; 1076A-C104 - Proposed Elevations; and 1076A-D101 Sections. 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).
- Notwithstanding the information contained within the application, the static caravan hereby approved shall be used as residential accommodation during the construction of the alterations and extension to the existing dwelling known as South Hills Lodge, Lamphey. The use of the land for the siting of the static caravan, access ramp and decking, hereby approved shall cease and the static caravan, access ramp and decking and any associated paraphernalia shall be removed in their entirety on or before the expiration of 18 months from the date of this decision. Reason: Permission is required for a temporary period only and the permanent siting of the caravan would fail to accord with policy GN.1 and GN.26 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
- Within one month of the date of this decision notice, the proposed bird box shall be installed in accordance with the Green Infrastructure Statement and retained thereafter. Reason: In the interests of biodiversity enhancement and to accord with the requirements of policy GN.37 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
- The Holly Tree identified in the Green Infrastructure Statement shall be planted in the first planting season following the date of this decision. Should the Holly Tree planted in accordance with the approved scheme which, within a period of 5 years after planting is removed, die, become diseased or damaged, shall be replaced with a tree 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 with 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, SP 16, 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.
- Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it is an offence to damage, destroy or obstruct access to any structure or place that bats, great crested newts or any other animal listed in Schedule 5 of the Act use for shelter or protection. Under this Act it is also an offence to disturb barn owls whilst building a nest or in the vicinity of a nest containing eggs or young. If there is any suggestion that the site is being occupied by any of the species, you are advised to consult Natural Resources Wales on Telephone: 0300 065 3000 or email: enquiries@naturalresourceswales.gov.uk, before proceeding with the development hereby authorised.
- 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.
