Plans unveiled for three-bedroom house in Pembroke Dock
Biodiversity and infrastructure improvements are key aspects of the plan.
A common hedgerow on the eastern boundary is to be retained, while a new privet hedgerow is to be added to the west.
Two fruit trees will also be planted in the back garden.
Bird boxes are set to be mounted on the walls of the new building, and the applicant has pledged a Green Infrastructure Net Benefit post-completion.
Civil engineering comments submitted on May 21 have outlined that surface water disposal will be managed by a soakaway, subject to ground conditions and percolation tests.
However, no detailed surface water design or SAB application had been submitted at the time.
Welsh Water, responding on June 5, has no objection to foul water discharge to public sewer and surface water to soakaway, but has set conditions.
Surface water or land drainage must not connect to the public sewerage network, and there are advisories over sewer connection permissions under the Water Industry Act 1991 and the potential for unrecorded public sewers on site.
The Highways Development Control response, dated June 10, notes that access will be via an unmade lane, used also as a Public Right of Way.
The authority considers the traffic impact negligible but has made several recommendations.
These include levelling and surfacing the access lane with a permeable material, installing a kerbing structure for pedestrian guidance, submitting a Construction Traffic Management Plan, and providing a swept path analysis for emergency/refuse vehicle access.
The Pembroke Dock Town Council Planning Committee has expressed support for the application, with no objections raised.
The proposed house will feature a front lawn and low-level shrub planting around the rear patio and lawn area.
It will also have off-street parking provision and will ensure protection of pedestrian access along the lane.

Plans unveiled for three-bedroom house in Pembroke Dock
The proposal outlines the construction of a three-bedroom house on land south of 20 Nelson Street, Pennar. Biodiversity and infrastructure improvements are key aspects of the plan.

Plans submitted for nine detached homes in Langstone
The planning application details the construction on land west of Stockwood View, Langstone, which is currently a grass field previously used for agricultural purposes. The proposal by Harmoni Homes includes access, drainage, landscaping, and other associated works, with the area set to connect to the mains sewer. The site, although not in a flood risk area, is within 20 metres of a watercourse, and as the site area exceeds 100 square metres, approval via Sustainable Drainage Approval Body (SAB) is implied. A full tree survey was submitted with the application, assessing 13 records, including four trees, four groups, and five hedgerows. The proposal indicates a low arboricultural impact, with only a 10-metre section of Category C hedgerow H1 to be removed for access. The root protection areas have been adjusted to protect from construction, especially near the southern drainage ditch, while all other retained trees are to be protected with fencing and methods outlined in the Tree Protection Plan. A Green Infrastructure Statement noted the site is primarily arable with low intrinsic value but highlighted important features along the boundaries, such as hedgerows H1–H5 and trees. Ecological sensitivities were also noted, including a confirmed bat roost in Building B1, and the potential for dormice, otters, hedgehogs, common reptiles, and amphibians, albeit with a low likelihood. Avoidance measures have been proposed, including the retention of hedgerows H2–H5, the native hedgerow H3, and all trees. The removed 10 metres of non-native H1 will be mitigated with replacement planting at a 2:1 ratio. Additional compensations include a bat barn to replace the building B1 roost, rain gardens and a SuDS basin, and wildflower and shrub planting. A Noise Impact Assessment placed the site within Noise Exposure Category B, meaning planning permission could be granted with conditions to ensure adequate noise protection. The primary noise source is road traffic from the A48 to the south, and mitigation will include an acoustic façade, appropriate glazing and ventilation strategy. All garden and amenity spaces are within acceptable external noise levels, targeting less than 55 dB LAeq,T. A Transport Statement confirmed that access will be gained from Stockwood View via an existing spur road, avoiding previous concerns over access from the A48. Each unit will include a garage and two driveway spaces, compliant with Newport's Supplementary Planning Guidance, with cycle parking also provided. Forecasted vehicle trips were considered acceptable, and the site is within walking distance to services, schools, and employment. Public transport access is available via A48 bus stops, with no highway safety issues identified. The planning application was received on July 23 and is under consultation until August 22. A formal decision on the application is yet to be issued.

Raw sewage spotted 'seeping' onto Llandudno beach after pumping station 'blockage'
Raw sewage 'seeping' onto a Llandudno beach has led to calls for Welsh Water to invest more in their pumping stations. This week beachgoers reported sewage running onto the beach under a roller-shutter door of the pumping station at Dale Road car park on the West Shore. Now Aberconwy MS Janet Finch-Saunders says she has written to Welsh Water, demanding they invest in improving their pumping stations to prevent future problems. Speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Mrs Finch Saunders said she is concerned due to the incident occurring during the height of the summer tourist season. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox. Welsh Water said the leak had been caused by a blockage, but the "foul water" did not "enter any watercourse and had no detrimental environmental impact". Mrs Finch Saunders said the incident led to sewage "seeping out near Dale Road car park". She said: "This is when the residents and visitors want to take a dip in the sea. Surfers Against Sewage are also finding that beaches in North Wales in my constituency have pollution levels that are much too high. It has got to stop. 'It is not acceptable. Our hotels are working flat out to accommodate our visitors. The kids are off school. I've written to Welsh Water, asking how it happened and when it is going to be fixed, so people can go back in the water. They are going to have to invest some money to stop this happening. We are at our full tilt now in August.' She added: 'The hoteliers are working flat out, and the last thing they need is people complaining they are coming to West Shore, which is a beautiful part of Llandudno, and the area is being blighted by this raw sewage.' A Welsh Water spokesman said: 'We can confirm there was a blockage at our pumping station in West Shore in Llandudno that resulted in a small amount of foul water seeping from the building. However, it did not enter any watercourse and had no detrimental environmental impact. 'A crew has attended earlier today to clear the blockage of wet wipes and carried out an initial clean-up. Due to the requirement for a deep clean, we have arranged for a full clean up using specialist kit.' He added: 'We would like to remind our customers not to dispose of any materials other than toilet roll down the toilet. Nappies, cotton buds, and wet wipes block our system. Similarly, pouring fat, oil, and grease down sinks can cause blockages. The issue of sewer abuse and the resulting flooding costs the company around £5 million a year.
