RESOLVED That the Committee recommend to Council that the application be APPROVED, contrary to recommendation, due to the economic benefit it would bring, its relation to the settlement and it being adequately screened, subject to the conditions as follows: · Standard time limit for commencement (5 years) · Occupation as holiday accommodation only · External materials in accordance with submitted information · Details of foul drainage arrangements to be submitted for approval · Parking space to be provided prior to first use of accommodation · Landscaping scheme to be submitted for approval · Biodiversity enhancement scheme to be submitted for approval · Development to be carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the submitted Extended Phase 1 and Protected Species Survey · Arrangements for cycle and E-Bike hire to be submitted for approval and to be retained for the life of the development
it was resolved to approve the application subject to a S106 agreement required to secure a Local Needs Affordable Housing contribution should any of the proposed holiday units be occupied as market housing. Following the Planning Committee meeting the Head of Planning was made aware that a number of local residents were unaware of the application. The publicity of the application was made in accordance with The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Wales) Order 2012 (“the Order”), which regulates the publicity of planning applications, by having a notice posted on the site frontage to Quay Street but whilst the Council complied with the publicity requirement, the site also had the benefit of a frontage onto Newport Road, of which a site notice was not posted. Given the application remained undetermined due to the pending aforementioned S106, the Council could lawfully bring the application back to the Planning Committee. A further publicity exercise was undertaken notifying the owners/occupiers of adjacent and nearby properties by letter of the proposal and the representations received both in objection and support of the proposal have been considered in this updated report. The Committee was advised that due notification had been received from the following interested parties who wished to exercise their right to address the Committee: • Agent – Mr Rob Howell • Objector – Miss Claire Evans Following Miss Evans address, Councillor Alistair Cameron requested that she clarify her lighting concerns to which she advised that the proposal would block out a lot of the day time sun to both hers and neighbouring properties due to its increased height. The Committee proceeded to discuss the application and the key points were noted as follows: · Following a request of clarification by Councillor Tim Evans regarding the height of the building, the Planning Officer, Amy Lack-Croft, confirmed that the roof would be 3.1m higher than the current structure. · Councillor Alistair Cameron highlighted the flood risk and queried when Natural Resources Wales had provided the advice that it could be ‘mitigated appropriately’. The Chief Planning Officer advised that the advice was current advice provided at the time of consultation. · Councillor Mark Carter queried if the extant planning permission which was outlined within the report could continue to be implemented if the current proposal was refused. The Chief Planning Officer advised that it could be as it had been confirmed that works linked to the previous permission had commenced. · In response to a question raised by Councillor Mark Carter in relation to car parking, the Chief Planning Officer reiterated the response from Highways which stated that due to there being an existing public car park within 100 metres of the site, the Head of Highways had no objection to the development. It was added that due to the possibility of the car park flooding, warning signs were in place to advise motorists. Councillor Brian Hall Moved that the application be approved as recommended; Seconded by Councillor Tony Wilcox. The Committee then proceeded to the vote, undertaken by way of a roll-call, which was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors Alistair Cameron, Mark Carter, John Cole, Tim Evans, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Rhys Jordan, Jordan Ryan, Anji Tinley, Iwan Ward, Tony Wilcox, Jacob Williams and Michael Williams. [13] There were no votes against the motion or abstentions RESOLVED (a) That the application be APPROVED, subject to a Section 106 legal agreement to secure a contribution toward Local Needs Affordable Housing, should the residential units be occupied as open market housing, and subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report of the Director of Community Services. (b) If the Section 106 legal agreements not completed within 3 months of the foregoing resolution then delegated power be granted to the Head of Planning to exercise discretion to refuse the application on the grounds of non-compliance with policy GN.28 of the Local Development Plan (2013). [Councillor Anji Tinley left the meeting at this juncture]
RESOLVED That the application be REFUSED, for the following reason; · That the application site is located within close proximity to a residential area and the application proposes the change of use of an agricultural field into a dog exercise field. It is considered that the proposed use of the site as a dog exercise field would not be compatible with the area and would have the potential to result in a significant detrimental impact on residential amenity through noise associated with its use. The proposal therefore fails to comply with criterion 2 of policy GN.1 (General Development Policy) and Policy SP 1 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire (adopted 28 February 2013). [Councillor Alistair Cameron left the meeting at this juncture]
RESOLVED (a) That delegated power be granted to the Head of Planning to APPROVE the application subject to the resolution of ecology issues and subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report of the Director of Community Services, including any conditions required in connection with ecology and the completion of a section 106 legal agreement. (b) If the legal agreement, under Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, is not completed within 3 months of the foregoing resolution and if ecology issues cannot be satisfactorily resolved then delegated power be given to the Head of Planning to exercise discretion to refuse the application on the grounds of non-compliance with policies GN.1 and GN.37 of the Local Development Plan (LDP), Planning Policy Wales and TAN 6. [Councillor Jordan Ryan left the meeting at this juncture]
RESOLVED That the application be APPROVED, subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report of the Director of Community Services and the below conditions as updated as part of the oral update: · The condition in respect of provision of a passing bay to be updated to include reference to provision of pedestrian refuge points along the access track. · Addition of the following condition: to include provision of bike storage on site. · Addition of the following condition: for a traffic survey to be undertaken for a period of three months and details of any associated mitigation measures identified from the survey to be submitted to the Local Authority for approval. [Councillor John Cole left the meeting at this juncture]

RESOLVED That the Committee recommend to Council that the application be APPROVED, contrary to recommendation, due to the economic benefit it would bring, its relation to the settlement and it being adequately screened, subject to the conditions as follows: · Standard time limit for commencement (5 years) · Occupation as holiday accommodation only · External materials in accordance with submitted information · Details of foul drainage arrangements to be submitted for approval · Parking space to be provided prior to first use of accommodation · Landscaping scheme to be submitted for approval · Biodiversity enhancement scheme to be submitted for approval · Development to be carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the submitted Extended Phase 1 and Protected Species Survey · Arrangements for cycle and E-Bike hire to be submitted for approval and to be retained for the life of the development
This application was presented for Committee consideration as it involved a tourist, leisure or recreational development over 500 sq.m of floorspace, or a site over 0.5ha in area (paragraph 1(g) of the scheme of delegation). It was deferred at the 14 March 2023 Committee meeting pending a site visit which was undertaken on 30 March 2023. The application was subsequently considered at the 25 April 2023 Committee meeting where the Committee resolved that it was minded to approve planning permission, contrary to officer recommendation. The Committee was advised that due notification had been received from the following interested parties who wished to exercise their right to address the Committee: · Agent – Mr David Haward · Local Member - Councillor Delme Harries In response to Mr Haward’s address, Councillor Alistair Cameron requested he expand on what he meant when referring to a comment contained with the Committee report regarding the ‘danger of a precedent being set’. Mr Haward responded to state that reference had been made to a site in Penally which he felt had many differences to the current proposal and felt it had not been fair for that to be used as a comparison. Further discussion took place between the Agent and Chair regarding precedents being set and differences between sites which had been mentioned as possible comparisons, which prompted advice being provided by the Solicitor on the matter. In response to a question from Councillor Mark Carter, Mr Haward outlined the employment opportunities the site could bring with it, although the specific number of jobs could not be predicted at this time. Following a question from Councillor Tim Evans, Mr Haward confirmed that the site was not seasonal and would be open for use all year. It was confirmed by Mr Haward that none of the lodges would be used as permanent homes which was further confirmed by the Chief Planning Officer who outlined conditions linked to the matter which would restrict the use of the lodges to holiday occupation only. Councillor Delme Harries, Local Member, addressed the Committee to express his support for the application and highlighted that he was disappointed that the Authority had not been able to overcome its concerns. A final plea was made to the Committee for them to consider supporting the application, contrary to the officer’s recommendation for refusal, as he felt it would bring with it much needed enterprise, footfall and money into Fishguard and Goodwick and should be determined on its own merits and not compared to other sites around the County. The Committee proceeded to discuss the application and the key points were noted as follows: · Following an advice request made by Councillor Alistair Cameron, the Solicitor advised that the code of conduct recommended that precedent should not be a consideration, and the Chief Planning Officer expanded on the meaning behind the precedent matter being mentioned within the report. · It was confirmed that in the instance the Committee were minded to approve the application, contrary to the recommendation, then it would be referred to full Council for final determination and a press notice would be issued to state that the decision would be considered a departure from the Local Development Plan which would allow any representations to be made in respect of that departure process and those representations would be reported as part of the report to full Council. · Councillors Alistair Cameron and Michael Williams expressed that they would support the officers recommendation of refusal to honour the Local Development Plan. Councillor Brian Hall Moved that the application be approved contrary to the recommendation, due to the economic benefit it would bring, its relation to the settlement and it being adequately screened and with the conditions as outlined within the Committee report; Seconded by Councillor Rhys Jordan. The Committee proceeded to the vote, undertaken by way of a roll-call, which was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors John Cole, Tim Evans, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Rhys Jordan, Jordan Ryan, Anji Tinley, Iwan Ward and Tony Wilcox. [9] Against the Motion: Councillors Alistair Cameron, Mark Carter, Jacob Williams and Michael Williams. [4] There were no abstentions. RESOLVED That the Committee recommend to Council that the application be APPROVED, contrary to recommendation, due to the economic benefit it would bring, its relation to the settlement and it being adequately screened, subject to the conditions as follows: · Standard time limit for commencement (5 years) · Occupation as holiday accommodation only · External materials in accordance with submitted information · Details of foul drainage arrangements to be submitted for approval · Parking space to be provided prior to first use of accommodation · Landscaping scheme to be submitted for approval · Biodiversity enhancement scheme to be submitted for approval · Development to be carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the submitted Extended Phase 1 and Protected Species Survey · Arrangements for cycle and E-Bike hire to be submitted for approval and to be retained for the life of the development

[Councillor Alistair Cameron left the meeting at this juncture]
This application was for Committee consideration as the Director of Community Services removed the application from the scheme of delegation on the basis that it met criterion 2 of the procedure to determine formal requests from Members to refer specific applications to the Planning Committee. The Planning Officer, Harriet Lavender,provided an oral update stating that since publication of the Committee report, the Pollution Control and Highways Development Control teams had provided updated consultation responses confirming their recommendations of refusal and conditional approval respectively, in light of an amended plan submitted, noise survey and additional information. The Committee was advised that due notification had been received from the following interested parties who wished to exercise their right to address the Committee: • Agent - Mr Wyn Harries • Objector – Mr Ceri Davies Following Mr Harries address, Councillor Alistair Cameron requested further information regarding the noise assessment which was submitted. Mr Harries advised that the applicant had submitted the assessment to the Planning Officer who had passed it over to Public Protection. Councillor Cameron then highlighted that the professional capacity/qualification of the person who undertook the assessment had not been made clear to which the agent confirmed that he was not a professional noise assessor and had sufficient time have been granted, they could have had a formal noise assessment carried out at the site. Councillor Tony Wilcox queried how many objections the agent was aware of, to which Mr Harries advised that he was aware of the Community Council objection and a few members of the local community, who seemed to be the primary instigators. Councillor Rhys Jordan made reference to the agents comments regarding the popularity of the facility and requested more information. Mr Harries advised that the facility was well used by the community, outlined the online booking arrangements stating that there is a 15 minute gap between each booking and added that the level of bookings was dependant on weather conditions. In response to a question raised by Councillor Mark Carter regarding whether the proposal was being classed as farm diversification, Mr Harries advised that the applicant’s primary activity was farming and following a thought that the field could be utilised more beneficially than for cropping or grazing, they developed a scheme which they now seek retrospective planning consent for. Following a question from Councillor Mark Carter as to who submitted the additional sound recordings to the Authority, Mr Harries advised that other than the recordings submitted on behalf of the applicant he was not privy to who else had submitted recordings via the app. Following Mr Davies address, Councillor Mark Carter requested he clarify his role. It was clarified that Mr Davies had been employed to represent objectors, did not live near to the application site and had not visited the site. In response to a question from Councillor Tony Wilcox, Mr Davies advised that he was not aware of general dog noise issues within the village and stated that if there had been ongoing issues then it would be likely they would have been reported to the public protection team prior to the application being submitted. Councillor Tim Evans queried who had submitted the noise recordings on the app, to which Mr Davies advised that it was his understanding that the submissions had been made by third parties, neighbours and local residents. It was recognised that the recordings were sporadic and that a full assessment of noise would need to be conducted by a professional to gain a full understanding of the noise impact. In response to a question raised by Councillor Tim Evans regarding parking issues, Mr Davies confirmed that the increase in traffic generation on the single width road was also a concern of objectors. The Committee proceeded to discuss the application and the key points were noted as follows: · In response to a number of clarification points requested by the Chair, the Pollution Control Officer outlined the point in time when concerns started to be raised regarding the noise pollution from the site, which was seven months after the site started to be utilised as a dog field. Information was provided regarding the app that residents are encouraged to use to log evidence of noise concerns and it was stated that all evidence submitted is then reviewed by the Authority to assist with making a judgement on the concerns being raised. It was noted that the app logs the GPS tag so the Authority are able to see accurately the location of the recording along with the time and date the recordings were taken and was often used as part of enforcement prosecution cases. Members were informed that the Authority had no reason to assume the recordings had been enhanced in anyway. · Following clarification being sought by Councillor Rhys Jordan regarding what level of noise is classed as unacceptable, the Pollution Control Officer advised that it was not the volume that determined the acceptableness, it was based on the frequency of the intrusive noise. · Councillor John Cole queried how many different individuals had submitted evidence via the app, to which the Pollution Control Officer advised that the recordings outlined within the report had been submitted by two individuals. Councillor Iwan Ward, Local Member, Moved that the application be deferred to allowMembers to conduct a site visit, to assess the site being considered; Seconded by Councillor Brian Hall. On being put to the vote, conducted by way of roll-call, the motion fell. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors John Cole, Brian Hall, Jordan Ryan and Iwan Ward [4] Against the Motion: Councillors Alistair Cameron, Mark Carter, Tim Evans, Nicola Gwynn, Rhys Jordan, Tony Wilcox, Jacob Williams and Michael Williams [8] There were no abstentions. Returning to the discussion the following points werenoted: · Councillors Mark Carter and Tim Evans expressed their support for the application to be approved, contrary to recommendation. · Following Councillors Tony Wilcox and Rhys Jordan discussing the possibility of the application being deferred to allow time for further evidence to be collated, either by the Authority, applicant or neighbours, the Chief Planning Officer provided information on the matter and advised that the relevant parties could choose whether or not to provide further information and this could not be demanded. Councillor Brian Hall Moved that the application be refused as recommended; Seconded by Councillor Alistair Cameron. The Committee proceeded to the vote, undertaken by way of a roll-call, which was carried. The votes were recorded as follows: For the Motion: Councillors Alistair Cameron, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Jordan Ryan, Iwan Ward, Jacob Williams and Michael Williams.

For Members benefit, it was stated that the proposal was considered to have an acceptable impact having regards to the assessment contained within the submitted Management Plan and as such it accords with the requirements of policy SP 9 (Welsh Language) of the LDP and the Welsh Government’s Technical Advice Note (TAN 20). The Committee was advised that due notification had been received from the following interested parties who wished to exercise their right to address the Committee: • Applicant – Mr Simon Hillam • Objector – Mr Michael Ritchie Following Mr Hillam’s address Councillor Tony Wilcox queried if the flower production was seasonal, to which Mr Hillam advised that once the seasonal flower production tails off, they then produce seasonal wreathes so are able to undertake seasonal floristry all year round and added that the proposed polytunnel would assist with this. In response to a question raised by Councillor Tim Evans, Mr Hillam advised that the only produce they sell to the public is fruit, all other produce is consumed by themselves.

The Planning Officer, Rachel Elliott, provided an oral update stating that since publication of the Committee report, a revised consultation response had been received from the Head of Infrastructure (Highways) which included an update to one condition in the published report, and two additional conditions, which were not included in a previous response as follows: · The condition in respect of provision of a passing bay to be updated to include reference to provision of pedestrian refuge points along the access track. · Addition of the following condition: to include provision of bike storage on site. · Addition of the following condition: for a traffic survey to be undertaken for a period of three months and details of any associated mitigation measures identified from the survey to be submitted to the Local Authority for approval. As such, the recommendation in paragraph 1.1 of the Committee report shall be updated to take account of the changes outlined. In response to a question raised by Councillor Tim Evans, the Chief Planning Officer reiterated the condition linked to the restriction in use of facilities to those currently using the site including the boxing club and occupiers of the holiday accommodation owned by the applicant, including a register of use in relation to the holiday accommodation.
