The scheme shall be implemented in accordance with the approved details prior to the first beneficial use of the alterations and extension to the outbuilding and the erection of the car port, 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).
- Prior to occupation of the development hereby approved, the proposed three sparrow boxes shall be installed in accordance with the Green Infrastructure Statement and the details on drawings Proposed Elevations & Section and retained thereafter.

The trees shall be planted in accordance with the approved details in the first planting and seeding seasons following occupation or completion of the approved development, whichever is sooner. Any new plants or trees planted in accordance with the approved scheme which, within a period of 5 years after planting are removed, die, become diseased or damaged to such extent that, in the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the function in relation to this planning approval is no longer delivered, 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 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, 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.
- 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.
- The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 makes it a criminal offence to damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird whilst 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. Care should be taken outside of this exclusion period as variations in climate may extend the nesting season.
- Under the provisions of the Badgers Act 1991 it is an offence to interfere with any badger sett. This includes the damaging, destruction or obstruction of any entrance. 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.
- Any existing buildings on site should be assessed for asbestos materials prior to demolition. Any asbestos must be removed in full consultation with the Health and Safety Executive 3rd Floor, Darkgate Buildings, 3 Red Street, Carmarthen, SA31 1QL
- 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.
- The outbuilding and car port hereby approved shall not be used at any time other than for purposes incidental to the residential use of the dwelling known as Glen View, Thomas Chapel, Kilgetty. Reason: To prevent this development being used as a separate unit and to enable the Local Planning Authority to properly control any further development on the site and to comply with the requirements of policy GN.1 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (Adopted 28th February 2013).
