Decision & conditions
Planning conditions
- The proposed development fails to make provision for the required local needs affordable housing contribution through a completed planning obligation. In the absence of a mechanism to secure this contribution, the proposal is contrary to Policy GN.28 (Local Needs Affordable Housing) of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013.
- The application site lies within the catchment of the Pembrokeshire Marine Special Area of Conservation (SAC). A Habitats Regulations Assessment Screening Report has been completed and insufficient information has been provided with the application to conclude that increases in nutrient inputs in the Pembrokeshire Marine SAC can be ruled out as a result of this development proposal. As such, the proposal fails to accord with criterion 4 of policy GN.1 (General Development Policy) and policy GN.37 (Protection and Enhancement of Biodiversity) of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013).
- In the absence of an appropriate Green Infrastructure, the proposed development fails to demonstrate a positive approach to maintaining and enhancing biodiversity and contains insufficient information on the loss of vegetation on the site and its subsequent mitigation. In addition, no biodiversity enhancement measures have been proposed. In such terms, the proposal conflicts with policies SP 1 (Sustainable Development), criterion 4 of policy GN.1 (General Development Policy) and policy GN.37 (Protection and Enhancement of Biodiversity) of the adopted Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013), the advice set out in Supplementary Planning Guidance: Biodiversity (adopted May 2021), Planning Policy Wales Edition 12 and the Environment Act (Wales) 2016 and with the Environment (Wales) Act 2016.
