In welcoming everyone to the meeting, the Chair made the following announcements: · At the Committee’s meeting held on 9 January 2024, Members resolved to approve Planning Application No.22/0254/PA – Broad Oak Farm, Martletwy, Narberth. Following the completion of a legal agreement, a decision notice granting permission was formally issued on 12 February. · An update was provided regarding Planning Application No.21/0857/PA - Cwm Farm, Llawhaden, Narberth, which the Committee refused at the September 2022 meeting. The update advised that following the Applicants submitting an appeal against the refusal of planning permission to Planning Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW), the appeal was dismissed on 21 November 2023. The Council was, therefore, continuing with its application for a mandatory injunction to compel the Applicants to remove the unpermitted development. The trial date for that application had been set for 5 August 2024 at the High Court, in Cardiff. The Chair added that oral updates would be provided for Agenda Items No. 9. 10, 12 and 13.
Councillor Tim Evans declared a personal and prejudicial interest in Agenda Item No. 10 – Planning Application No.22/0868/PA - Former County Archive facility adjacent to Haverfordwest Castle, Haverfordwest, by virtue of being the Chair of the Trustees of Haverfordwest Town Museum and also a Trustee of the Haverfordwest Castle Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). He advised that he would leave the meeting during that item of business.
Councillor Jordan Ryan expressed regret for not being able to join the last meeting online and requested his apology be recorded in the Minutes. Moved by Councillor Jacob Williams; Seconded by Councillor Tim Evans. The vote, by way of show of hands, was carried. RESOLVED That the Minutes of the Meeting held on 13 February 2024 be approved as a correct record, in both English and Welsh subject to the above amendment.

RESOLVED (a) That the Committee was minded to APPROVE the application as the environmental, economic and social benefits it would bring, as well as meeting the targets of the Welsh Government’s Net Zero Wales Plan that would significantly outweigh the marginal impact to a Grade II Listed Building and was contrary to the Officer recommendation of refusal. (b) That the application be deferred to a subsequent meeting. [Councillor Iwan Ward left the meeting at this juncture]
This application was presented for Committee consideration as the application was for a wind turbine over 30 metres in overall height to blade tip (Appendix 1 to Section 14 of the Council’s Constitution). It was deferred at the 9 January 2024 Committee meeting pending a site visit, which was undertaken on 6 March 2024. The Senior Planning Officer outlined the proposal contained within his report, stating the ecological assessment updated before the Committee’s January meeting had concluded that the impact of the development on protected species would be localised and at very low magnitude. Further responses were received from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation on behalf of the Ministry of Defence registering no objection to the application. In light of these, the West Wales Airport, at Aberporth, had withdrawn its own objection and requested various conditions be imposed on any grant of planning permission with regard to the colour of the wind turbine blades, lighting in the nacelle and details of the construction process.However, the officer’s view was that the recommendation of refusal remained unchanged due to the detrimental impact on the historic environment. The Chief Planning Officer then apologised to Members for circulating the officer’s report from the January meeting in the Agenda pack instead of the version that was intended for the March meeting. He drew attention to two of the reasons for refusal that had since been removed, with the third reason relating to the development’s impact on the Listed Building remaining. 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 Glen Peters · Objector – Mr Paul Robertson-Marriott Following Mr Peters’ address, Councillor John Cole wanted to gain a better understanding from the owner, who was the Applicant, about some of the formalities he faced installing energy efficiency measures in an older property. Mr Peters replied the combination of the wind turbine and the solar park would secure the viability of the Listed Building. In response to a question from Councillor Tim Evans, the Applicant responded that 90% of electricity from the solar farm would be supplied to the National Grid. The wind turbine would almost entirely provide the energy for the house during the winter and half of the power would fed back into the electricity network in the summer and at night. Having visited Mr Robertson-Marriott as the Local Member, Councillor John Davies considered there was no direct impact on his property behind the Walled Garden of Rhosygilwen that the objector had not mentioned in his address. Councillor Davies enquired whether he was making his representation on an individual or collective basis, to which Mr Robertson-Marriott established he was not speaking on behalf of other residents. The Committee proceeded to discuss the application and the key points were noted as follows: · Councillor John Davies proposed that the application be approved due to the environmental, economic and social benefits it would bring, as well as meeting the targets of the Welsh Government’s Net Zero Wales Plan, and would significantly outweigh the marginal impact to a Grade II Listed Building. The Interim Head of Planning Service advised that in the instance the Committee was minded to approve the application, contrary to the officer’s recommendation, then a cooling off period would be applied for officers to consider the implications of the Members’ decision and draft potential conditions. · Councillor Mark Carter, along with Councillors Alistair Cameron, Jordan Ryan, Iwan Ward and the Chair, all expressed their support for the application. · Councillor Cameron raised the issue of noise being generated from the turbine, to which the Senior Planning Officer confirmed this matter had been addressed in his report. From the perspective of the Council’s Public Protection Division, wind turbine noise would be at a low level of about 30 decibels that would not have a detrimental impact on the amenity of adjoining occupiers. • In a detailed discussion on the environmental acceptability of the turbine in the proposed location, prompted by the Chair, the Chief Planning Officer provided advice that it was for Members to judge if the impact on the Listed Building would be acceptable and, if so, that it would accord with planning policy. Then again, if there were material considerations and that Members were to decide to the contrary, the Interim Head of Planning Service suggested their decision could be potentially considered as a departure from policy that would need to be referred to Full Council. Councillor John Davies Moved that the application be approved contrary to the officer recommendation for the reasons stated above; Seconded by Councillor Brian Hall. 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, Mark Carter, John Cole, John Davies, Tim Evans, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Jordan Ryan, Anji Tinley and Jacob Williams [10] Against the Motion: Councillor Michael Williams [1] Abstain: Councillor Tony Wilcox [1] RESOLVED (a) That the Committee was minded to APPROVE the application as the environmental, economic and social benefits it would bring, as well as meeting the targets of the Welsh Government’s Net Zero Wales Plan that would significantly outweigh the marginal impact to a Grade II Listed Building and was contrary to the Officer recommendation of refusal. (b) That the application be deferred to a subsequent meeting. [Councillor Iwan Ward 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 Interim Head of Planning Service. [Councillor Rhys Jordan joined the meeting at this juncture]
This full application was presented for Committee consideration as the application involved a solar park development of over 5.0 Ha in area (Appendix 1 to Section 14 of the Council’s Constitution). 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 James Wallwork Following Mr Wallwork’s address, Councillor John Cole sought clarification on the classification of the agricultural land under national planning policy in Wales, to which the Applicant confirmed that the land had been categorised as grade 3b of moderate quality. Councillor Alistair Cameron requested more information on the generating capacity of the proposed solar farm, to which Mr Wallwork advised that it would produce about 3.3 million kWh (kilowatt hours) a year equivalent to power 2,500 homes, based on an average annual consumption of 3,700 kWh of electricity per home. In response to questions from Councillor Tim Evans, the Applicant estimated about 20 people would be employed on site at the peak of construction. While the new solar farm would not lead to the creation of long-term jobs, Mr Wallwork anticipated it would enable other jobs in the local area that rely on energy intensive industries and need to decarbonise. As solar farms are typically owned and developed by investment firms, who hire their own main contractors and, in turn, appoint sub-contractors, Mr Wallwork envisaged there would be an availability of local contract work to manage and maintain the site. Councillor John Davies wished to know the amount of carbon offset by the solar farm, to which the Applicant provided a carbon dioxide equivalent calculation to compare the level of emissions from a 1MW (megawatt) wind turbine. Councillor Brian Hall Moved the recommendation for approval; Seconded by Councillor Mark Carter. 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, Mark Carter, John Cole, John Davies, Tim Evans, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Jordan Ryan, Anji Tinley, Tony Wilcox, Jacob Williams and Michael Williams [12] There were no votes against or abstentions. RESOLVED That the application be APPROVED, subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report of the Interim Head of Planning Service. [Councillor Rhys Jordan joined the meeting at this juncture]

RESOLVED That the application be APPROVED, subject to the resolution of ecological matters in paragraphs 4.3 and to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report of the Interim Head of Planning Service.
The Committee resolved to approve this application on 3 October 2023 subject to planning conditions and delegated authority being granted to the Head of Planning to resolve matters relating to ecology and the receipt of amended plans (in respect of specified design matters). Amended plans had now been received; these went beyond the scope of what was delegated. 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: · Town and Community Council Representative – Councillor Linda Asman, Pembroke Town Council and on behalf of Pembroke Civic Trust · Agent – Mr Richard Bowen · Local Member – Councillor Jonathan Grimes Following Councillor’s Asman’s address, Councillor Tony Wilcox asked for clarification of some of the points made, to which Councillor Asman explained that Pembroke Town Council and Pembroke Civic Trust were opposed to the proposed building, however, not to the South Quay redevelopment. Alternative plans based on existing buildings to develop the quayside were put forward, she continued. In response to a suggestion made by Councillor Asman that Cadw did not comment on planning applications, the Development Manager - Major Projects & Planning Obligations, clarified that Cadw provided advice about the likely impact of an application on the Scheduled Monument, in this case, Pembroke Castle. Cadw had advised several design changes to the proposed building to be incorporated in a concurrent application for Listed Building Consent, including a break in the roofline, the addition of chimney pots and a render finish instead of brickwork. The Case Officer stated those recommendations were applied across both proposals to ensure consistency. In response to a question raised by the Chair, Councillor Asman admitted that while the Town Council supported the bid for the funding for this scheme, it did not endorse what was proposed. Following Mr Bowen’s address, Councillor John Cole identified animosity between the County Council and the Town Council, which had claimed it had not been listened to. The Agent informed the meeting that while he was not party to any dialogue that may have taken place prior to his involvement in the project, the Town Council had been engaged as a statutory consultee in the pre-application (PAC) and application process and he understood the Applicant had held a consultation event in the town. Councillor Mark Carter made reference to the inclusion of chimneys in the plans, to which Mr Bowen confirmed that even though they were not functional, they were instigated as a result of a design review following the Committee’s October meeting and comments subsequently made by Cadw. In connection with this discussion, the Chair requested the Agent to elaborate on the choice of materials used in the chimney design. From his experience working on similar projects in south Wales, Mr Bowen observed a variety of artificial chimney solutions had been used, such as a Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) chimney stack clad in brick slips and bolted onto the structure at ridge level. Following the address by the Local Member Councillor Jonathan Grimes, Councillor Tim Evans suggested that in the instance the Committee was minded to refuse the application, contrary to the recommendation, the site would revert to its original use. Councillor Grimes pointed to the overwhelming local support for the proposed development to be located elsewhere more suitable in the town rather than at the application site. He put forward the addition of the chimneys as the basis for his current objection, asserting they would contravene the County Council’s own policies for the Pembroke Conservation Area. The Interim Head of Planning Service advised she was unaware of any specific reference to the use of false or dummy chimneys within that management plan, nevertheless, the introduction of these features were considered to be appropriate in order to maintain the roof line of the Conservation Area where there were buildings bounded by chimneys on either side. Members then deliberated further on the application presented before them having heard all the speakers who addressed the Committee. Councillor Tony Wilcox Moved the recommendation for approval; Seconded by Councillor John Cole. 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, Mark Carter, John Cole, John Davies, Tim Evans, Nicola Gwynn, Anji Tinley, Tony Wilcox, Jacob Williams and Michael Williams [10] Against the Motion: Councillor Brian Hall [1] Abstain: Councillor Rhys Jordan [1] RESOLVED That the application be APPROVED, subject to the resolution of ecological matters in paragraphs 4.3 and to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report of the Interim Head of Planning Service.
The Meeting adjourned at 12:28pm for a short break and reconvened at 12:47pm.

RESOLVED That delegated power be granted to the Interim Head of Planning to APPROVE the application following receipt of the consultation response from the Council’s Ecologist and tests for likely significant effect and subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report.
This application was for Committee consideration as it involved a development that was contrary to the Local Development Plan (LDP), but was recommended for approval (Appendix 1 to Section 14 of the Council’s Constitution). The Case Officer provided an oral update stating that since publication of the Committee report, the recommendation had been amended to give delegated power to the Interim Head of Planning Service to approve the application, subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report, and following receipt of the consultation for the Council’s Ecologist and tests for likely significant effect. 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 – Mrs Zoe John · Objector – Mr Bevis Musk Following Mrs John’s address, Councillor Mark Carter made reference to an earlier planning permission and queried the size of the proposed development, to which the Agent confirmed the dwelling would be smaller than the one previously approved. Following Mr Musk’s address, the Interim Head of Planning Service advised that Planning Enforcement had been investigating whether a development in Kiln Park had possibly breached planning control. The Council had also liaised with Natural Resources Wales (NRW) that had undertaken a separate investigation into an alleged pollution incident and concluded no offence had been committed, she continued. In response to a question raised by Councillor Tim Evans, Mr Musk explained that the runoff from the proposed creation of ponds would pollute the River Cleddau that is designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). At the same time, he was concerned that the development of anaerobic conditions from the formation of stagnant water in the ponds during dry weather could cause further pollution. Referring to the question he posed to the Agent, Councillor Carter was interested to know Mr Musk’s opinion on why he thought the development’s smaller size would have a greater impact on sewage pollution. Mr Musk was of the view that D?rCymru Welsh Water had not been clear about the capacity of the Burton Ferry wastewater treatment plant and claimed that hydrogen sulphide was present because of septic sewage discharge along Kiln Park. The development of houses in the area would add more sewage into the pipes that were becoming backlogged into the treatment works that was at the limit of its capacity, he added. Mr Musk reported that NRW was investigating the outfall pipe near the Boat Club slipway and alleged the output was contaminated by detergents that were killing wildlife. In connection with this discussion, Councillor John Davies presumed the application met the exemption criteria from a moratorium on new development due to the high loading of phosphate in the River Cleddau. The Interim Head of Planning confirmed that this was the case as this was a tidal section of the riverine SAC. Councillor Brian Hall Moved the recommendation for approval; Seconded by Councillor Mark Carter. 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, Mark Carter, John Cole, John Davies, Tim Evans, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Rhys Jordan, Jordan Ryan, Anji Tinley, Tony Wilcox, Jacob Williams and Michael Williams [13] There were no votes against or abstentions. RESOLVED That delegated power be granted to the Interim Head of Planning to APPROVE the application following receipt of the consultation response from the Council’s Ecologist and tests for likely significant effect and subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report.
Due to the Case Officer having to leave the meeting, Agenda Item 11 – Planning Application No.21/1037/PA - Land to the South-West of Ietwen, Boncath, was taken next, with Agenda Item 10 - Planning Application No.22/0868/PA - Former County Archive facility adjacent to Haverfordwest Castle, Haverfordwest, to follow.

This application was for Committee consideration as the proposed development was contrary to the Local Development Plan (LDP), but was being recommended for approval (Appendix 1 to Section 14 of the Council’s Constitution). 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 Dougal Stewart Following Mr Stewart’s address, Councillors John Cole and John Davies requested more information regarding the conversion of a fire engine to generate electricity from renewable energy at outdoor events. The Applicant elaborated on the 5kW (kilowatt) solar panel system he had installed, along with a turntable he had fabricated on the back of the engine to act as a sun tracker. Councillor John Davies expressed his support for the application on behalf of the Local Member, Councillor Iwan Ward, stating he had made no adverse comments. Councillor Brian Hall Moved the recommendation for approval; Seconded by Councillor John Cole. 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, Mark Carter, John Cole, John Davies, Tim Evans, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Rhys Jordan, Jordan Ryan, Anji Tinley, Tony Wilcox, Jacob Williams and Michael Williams [13] There were no votes against or abstentions.

RESOLVED That delegated power be granted to the Interim Head of Planning to APPROVE the application subject to the resolution of ecological matters in paragraphs 4.4 and 4.5 and to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report.
[Having previously declared a personal and prejudicial interest in this item of business, Councillor Tim Evans withdrew from the meeting.] The Planning Committee resolved to approve this application on 25 April 2023, subject to planning conditions and delegated authority being granted to the Head of Planning to resolve matters relating to ecology and the Scheduled Monument. Amended plans were received and the application had been republicised. The application was, therefore, referred back to the Committee. The Development Manager - Major Projects & Planning Obligations provided an oral update stating that since publication of the Committee report, the ecology matters in Sections 4.4 and 4.5 had not been resolved. Therefore, he recommended approval of the application subject to the resolution of such matters and planning conditions set out in the 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: · Town and Community Council Representative – Councillor Arthur Brooker, Haverfordwest Town Council · Agent – Mr Richard Bowen Councillor Mark Carter Moved the recommendation for approval; Seconded by Councillor Brian Hall.

RESOLVED That delegated power be granted to the Interim Head of Planning Service to APPROVE the application following the end of the publicity period, the submission of a Unilateral Undertaking in relation to an affordable housing payment and subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report and the inclusion of an additional condition set out in the oral update, advising that no development shall commence until such time that a footpath diversion order had been made and approved. [Councillor Tony Wilcox left the meeting at this juncture]
This application was for Committee consideration as the application was being made by an Elected Member of the Council (Appendix 1 to Section 14 of the Council’s Constitution). The Senior Planning Officer provided an oral update stating that since publication of the Committee report, Network Rail, had responded with no objection to the application. She then put forward an amended recommendation that delegated power be given to the Interim Head of Planning Service to approve the application following the end of the publicity period and the submission of a Unilateral Undertaking in relation to an affordable housing payment. The Case Officer also recommended that any approval would be subject to the conditions outlined in Section 1.1 of the report and the inclusion of an additional condition, advising that no development shall commence until such time that a footpath diversion order had been made and approved. 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 Andrew Vaughan-Harries Following Mr Vaughan-Harries’ address, Councillors John Cole and Tim Evans asked for more detail on the public right of way, to which the Agent explained the Knights’ Way passes through the Applicant’s garden. The Agent recalled that about 20 years ago an Order was to be made to divert that part of route north of the existing right of way, however, the application was never formally submitted. Councillor John Davies, making reference to a request by Network Rail for a contribution of £250,000 to improve safety at the nearby level crossing on the Pembroke Dock branch line in a previous scheme for 13 dwellings, speculated that the Applicant was being asked to build a railway overbridge. Mr Vaughan-Harries communicated the response he received was that Network Rail planned to install a new warning light system, costing £250,000, and had defended that the Applicant could not be burdened to resolve the situation from his cost alone. For this reason, the number of proposed dwellings had reduced to three, he added. Councillor Brian Hall Moved the recommendation for approval; Seconded by Councillor Mark Carter. 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, Mark Carter, John Cole, John Davies, Tim Evans, Nicola Gwynn, Brian Hall, Jordan Ryan, Anji Tinley, Tony Wilcox, Jacob Williams and Michael Williams [12] There were no votes against or abstentions.
