Decision & conditions
Planning conditions
- The proposed removal of the stone boundary wall in order to create the off-street parking space, would fail to respect the character, context and spatial arrangement of the built form of the Penally Conservation Area along Hill Farm Road. The further interruption of this defining boundary feature would appear visually intrusive in views from the public realm and would cause harm to the special character and appearance of the Conservation Area., The proposal therefore fails to accord with criterion 1 of policy GN.1 (General Development Policy) and criteria 1 and 2 of policy GN.2 (Sustainable Design) and policy GN.38 (Protection and Enhancement of the Historic Environment) of the Local Development Plan (adopted 28 February 2013). Furthermore, the proposed development would be at odds with the aims of Technical Advice Note (TAN) 12: Design (2016) and Planning Policy Wales (Edition 12, February 2024).
- The application proposes the formation of a new off-road parking space. Due to the topography of the site and the physical constraints of the plot the proposed parking area would necessitate the construction of an elevated decked parking platform, or a similarly engineered structure, in order to provide a usable parking space wholly within the applicant’s land ownership. No details of the method of construction of the proposed parking space have been provided in order to indicate the integrity of the existing retaining wall structures or reinforcement have been submitted with regard to the safeguarding of the adjoining public highway. In the absence of this information, the proposal is therefore contrary to criterion 6 of Policy GN.1 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
- The application proposes a new engineered access which would require clear visibility spays of 25m in either direction along Hill Farm Road, from the drivers position, with no obstruction exceeding 0.60 meters in height within the splays. In the absence such information, it cannot be demonstrated that the proposal would not give rise to highway safety issues. The proposal is therefore contrary to criterion 6 of Policy GN.1 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
- The proposed introduction of the 1.8m high boundary fence, atop of the existing terrace wall, to separate Myrtle House from the proposed dwelling, would, due to their combined height, have an overbearing impact when viewed from the rear of Myrtle House. In such terms, proposal conflicts with criteria 1 and 2 of policy GN.1 (General Development Policy) and criteria 1 and 2 of policy GN.2 (Sustainable Design) of the Local Development Plan (adopted 28 February 2013), the advice set out in Technical Advice Note (TAN) 12: Design (2016) and Planning Policy Wales (Edition 12, February 2024).
