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.
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.
