Return your comments by 16 December 2024 (closes at midnight)

Caravan, camping and chalet landscape capacity assessment supplementary planning guidance

The Local Development Plan sets out a framework for determining planning applications and directing new growth in Pembrokeshire (excluding the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park).

The Caravan, camping and chalet landscape capacity assessment for Pembrokeshire County Council’s planning area was prepared by White Consultants in November, 2019.

It is now intended that it should be taken forward as Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) to support Policy GN 56 – Caravan, camping and chalet development, of the Pembrokeshire County Council replacement Local Development Plan (LDP 2).

The Council is undertaking an eight-week consultation on this Supplementary Planning Guidance between 21st October and 16^th December 2024. The consultation closes at midnight on the 16^th December 2024. Please e-mail your representation to ldp@pembrokeshire.gov.uk or post to: The Development Plans Team, County Hall, Freeman’s Way, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, SA61 1TP by midnight on 16^th December 2024.

Paper copies of the main documents can be viewed at County Hall, Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire County Council’s Service Centre at County Hall and Pembrokeshire libraries where there is public access available.

Strategic Options

LDP Draft Issues, Vision, Objectives and Strategic Options (July - September 2018)

This preliminary stage of the LDP process sets out the overarching aims of the LDP and puts forward various options for meeting future housing growth requirements over the Plan period (up until 2033).

Between 16^th July and 10^th September 2018 Pembrokeshire County Council ran an informal consultation on two documents - the Draft Issues, Vision and Objectives paper and the Strategic Housing Options Paper (Growth and Spatial Distribution).

Pembrokeshire County Council also held workshops in July 2018 to discuss Options with Stakeholders, Members and Town and Community Councils.

The Issues – what are the key issues facing the Plan area (up until 2033)?
The Vision – the core purpose of the Plan
Objectives – Elaborate on the Vision and focus on the outcomes the Plan should deliver
Strategic Options – Various scenarios for future levels of housing growth and broad locations/policy options to consider for accommodating this growth

The feedback received to this informal consultation will inform the development of the Council’s Preferred Strategy.

Equality Impact Assessment

An Equalities Impact Assessment of the Local Development Plan 2 has been undertaken.

The Equality Act 2010 (Statutory Duties) (Wales) Regulations 2011 sets out the specific duties of the Authority to assess and consult on the impact of its proposed policies on people who are protected under the Equality Act 2010, and its ability to meet the public sector equality duty. People who share a protected characteristic of age, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation fall within the Act.

The requirement to assess impact means that the Authority must consider relevant evidence in order to understand the likely or actual effect of policies and practices on protected groups.

This includes ensuring the policy or practice does not unlawfully discriminate, identifying any adverse impacts on protected groups, considering how the policy or practice could better advance equality of opportunity and considering whether the policy will affect relations between different groups.

Delivery Agreement including the Community Involvement Scheme

This document – the Delivery Agreement – is a key document in the production of the Local Development Plan (LDP). It sets out the timetable for Plan production, the ways in which the Authority will consult on the Plan (its Community Involvement Scheme) and the resources that the Authority will dedicate towards Plan production.

2024 Delivery Agreement

A new iteration of the Delivery Agreement was considered by Pembrokeshire County Council’s Cabinet on 20th May 2024 and subsequently at Full Council on the 18th of July 2024. Welsh Government subsequently approved the further revised Delivery Agreement on the 24^th July 2024.

This fourth edition of the Delivery Agreement was required in response to unexpected delays arising from a variety of issues in relation to housing, Habitats Regulation Assessment, river water quality and the need to address accommodation needs for gypsies, travellers and travelling show-people. Loss of staff from the LDP team in the early months of 2024 has also contributed to the delays in moving the Plan forward.

4th Edition of Delivery Agreement July 2024

For information - Earlier Editions of the Delivery Agreement

The Delivery Agreement was subject to a formal public consultation period between 9th November 2017 and 5th January 2018. A report of consultations was considered by Pembrokeshire County Council's Cabinet on 19th March 2018. Pembrokeshire County Council resolved at Full Council on the 10th May 2018 to formally submit the document to Welsh Government.

A revised version, setting out a timetable for the remainder of the process and reflecting delays as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic was considered by Pembrokeshire County Council's Cabinet on 5th October 2020. Pembrokeshire County Council resolved at Full Council on the 8th October 2020 to submit the revised Delivery Agreement to Welsh Government. Welsh Government approved the revised Delivery Agreement on 30th October 2020.

A further revised Delivery Agreement was prepared in 2023, primarily in response to further delays arising as a consequence of the publication of the Natural Resources Wales guidance on phosphate levels in Riverine Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) in Wales, which affects the Cleddau and Teifi river catchments.

This new iteration of the Delivery Agreement was considered by Pembrokeshire County Council’s Cabinet on 24^th April 2023 and subsequently at Full Council on the 11^th May 2023. Welsh Government subsequently approved the further revised Delivery Agreement on the 20^th June 2023.

The June 2023 Delivery Agreement supersedes the October 2020 version.

Habitats Regulation Assessment

The LDP Preferred Strategy has been screened to determine whether there will be any likely significant effects on European sites that have been designated for their wildlife and habitats (Natura 2000 sites). This process is part of the Habitats Regulations Appraisal (HRA). There are 21 Natura 2000 sites in Pembrokeshire or close to the boundary of the plan area to be considered. An example of a Natura 2000 site in Pembrokeshire is the Afon Cleddau SAC.

The HRA attempts to predict the potential effects of the LDP on Natura 2000 sites. The HRA will look at the plan in detail to assess the potential effects, both alone and in-combination with other plans and will identify any necessary changes to the plan to ensure that Natura 2000 sites are not impacted.

Completed stages in the HRA process

The LDP Deposit has been subject to HRA. The report has concluded that the Plan will not have a likely significant effect on the European sites.

Deposit 2 Plan HRA

The LDP Preferred Strategy was screened to determine whether there could be any likely significant effects on European sites that have been designated for their wildlife and habitats (Natura 2000 sites). This process is part of the Habitats Regulations Appraisal (HRA).

The HRA screening predicts the potential effects of the LDP Preferred Strategy on European sites. There was some uncertainty whether the LDP may have a likely significant effect on European sites at this stage. The HRA looked at the plan in detail and assessed the potential effects, both alone and in-combination with other plans and identified necessary changes to the Plan to ensure that European sites were not impacted. Mitigation measures were also identified.

The statutory consultees commented on the Habitats Regulations Appraisal of the Preferred Strategy.

Candidate Sites

Candidate sites’ register and site assessment – Deposit Plan 2 2024

Background

Pembrokeshire County Council issued a call for Candidate Sites between 22^nd March and the 14^th August 2018 and between 17th December 2018 and the 4th February 2019. A further call for candidate sites took place between 20^th July 2021 and 30^th July 2021, due to a previously unforeseen administrative error in 2017 that resulted in a small number of individuals on the Pembrokeshire County Council LDP 1 database not being notified of the opportunity to register their interest for the LDP 2 database.

Candidate Sites are sites suggested by the public for inclusion in the LDP. 515 Candidate Sites were received by the Authority for consideration, with 457 submitted during the 1^st call, 55 during the 2^nd call and 3 during the 3^rd call. All sites are published in the interactive map below.

Initial assessment

All Candidate Sites were subjected to an initial compatibility test to identify sites that are compliant with the Preferred Strategy, which was published in December 2018. A colour coding system was created to indicate the extent to which a site proposed was considered to comply with the Preferred Strategy. Details of the colour coding system for the Preferred Strategy compatibility can be found in the appendix.

Deposit Plan 2 Site Assessment

The Candidate Sites Register has been updated for the second Deposit Plan to show which sites have been taken forward into the Deposit Plan 2. This included constraints such as Highways, ecology, landscape and deliverability. A full list of constraints and the manner in which they were assessed are set out in the Candidate site methodology.

A critical issue is the overall level of housing required in a location and whether or not there are already sites with planning permission in that area that could help to meet that need. It should be noted that in some instances a candidate site may be partly included in the Deposit Plan 2 and part not included. In these cases, the site has been sub-divided to show the elements which fall into different categories in terms of their suitability for development or protection (alongside colour coding to assist the reader’s understanding). The register now also incorporates the site assessment report, which was previously a standalone document.

Whilst the Candidate Sites Register provides the outcome at this stage of the plan replacement process, the outcomes can change at subsequent stages of the review process. The outcomes are the view of the Council and if stakeholders have a view on these candidate sites, they must be submitted as a representation during the Deposit Plan consultation between 21st October and 16th December 2024.Please see the Deposit Plan 2 webpage for further information on how to make a representation.

The candidate site assessment colour categories are as follows:

Residential Categories

Red Category = residential sites that are not considered suitable for residential development. These sites have not been allocated and are outside of a settlement boundary. This includes sites considered to be constrained that are within 250m of a settlement boundary of either a service village, service centre or a main town. In some instances, candidate site promotors made multiple submission on the same land for different uses, so the successful uses fall within this category. It also contains sites previously deemed unsuitable as part of the initial assessment undertaken for preferred strategy compatibility.

Amber Category = residential sites that were not constrained but were surplus to requirement, as a suitable level of housing growth could be achieved using an alternative site deemed to be better related to the built form of the settlement.

Green Category = residential sites that were successful and included in the redeposit plan as either a housing allocation within a settlement boundary, land not allocated but within a settlement boundary, or a housing commitment as a result of previously obtaining planning permission.

Non-Residential Categories (including mixed use proposals with an element of residential)

Blue Category = non-residential sites that were successful and included in the redeposit plan as either an allocation, included within the settlement boundary but not allocated, safeguarded as a transport improvement or designated as open space.

Pink Category = non-residential sites that are not considered suitable for development due to a constraint. These sites have not been allocated and are outside of a settlement boundary.

Yellow Category = a proposed use that the Local Development Plan does not specifically allocate land for. This largely includes holiday accommodation along with leisure and tourism proposals. In addition, sites that were withdrawn from consideration are in this category. Criteria based policies have been included in the Local Development Plan to assess these proposals following adoption of the plan. The category also includes sites suggested to remain as countryside.

Details of the various reasons sites have been categorised into the different colour codes and the numbers in each category are set out in the below sub-categories.

Table 1:Candidate site assessment number categories

Criteria colour and number	Criteria summary	Detailed description
Green 3	Land not allocated as a Residential development but is within a settlement boundary	These sites were deemed to be suitable for inclusion within a settlement boundary but due to a specific issue it was not considered appropriate to identify it as a Residential Allocation. Criteria based policies can be used to assess these sites for development suitability, which could be a non-residential use.
Green 4	Residential Allocation	These sites were deemed to be suitable as a Residential Allocation that can contribute to the housing requirement that has been identified.
Green 5	Housing Commitment	This is a site that has already obtained planning permission for Residential development.
Amber 4	Residential proposal not required at this stage	A site which is not constrained but is surplus to requirement, as a suitable level of housing growth could be achieved using an alternative site deemed to be better related to the built form of the settlement.
Red 1	Residential proposal 80% within C2 Flood Zone or 80% within the 200metre SSSI/SAC buffer	Proposal is for residential use where the site area is 80% within C2 floodzone or 80% within a 200 metre buffer of a SSSI/SAC area – this is not an acceptable location for this use. This category has been carried forward from the preferred strategy initial assessment.
Red 2	Residential adjacent to a Local Village Boundary	Proposal is adjacent to a Local Village boundary. Significant development is not being sought in settlements in this position in the Settlement Hierarchy. This category has been carried forward from the preferred strategy initial assessment.
Red 3	Any Residential proposal not within 250m of a Service Village, Service Centre, Main Town or adjacent to a Cluster Local Village	This is not within 250m of a Service Village, Service Centre, Rural Town or Main Town or adjacent to a Cluster Local Village and hence proposals for larger residential development are not supported by the Preferred Strategy in this location. This category has been carried forward from the preferred strategy initial assessment.
Red 4	A Residential proposal within 250m of a Service Village, Service Centre, Main Town or adjacent to a Cluster Local Village, which was considered to be constrained.	Following the initial assessment, the detailed assessment revealed a constraint that deemed the site to be unsuitable for Residential development. These sites remain outside of a settlement boundary.
Red 5	Residential proposal below 0.15Ha not adjacent to a settlement boundary.	A policy included in the preferred strategy has since been removed, so these sites were no longer required to be assessed.
Red 6	A residential site allocated for an alternative use.	In some instances, candidate site promotors made multiple submission on the same land for different uses, so the unsuccessful residential use fall within this category.
Blue 1	Non-Residential Allocation	These sites were deemed to be suitable to be allocated for a specific type of development. This includes Community Facility, Employment, Gypsy & Traveller, Solar Array, Strategic Employment, Specialist and Supported Accommodation.
Blue 2	Transport Safeguarded, Strategy Employment Safeguarded or Open Space Designation	These sites were deemed to be suitable to be safeguarded for a proposed transport scheme, safeguarded due to an existing Employment use or designated to protect an existing Open Space.
Blue 3	A site not allocated for non-residential development (including mixed use with an element of residential) but is within a settlement boundary	These sites were deemed to be suitable for inclusion within a settlement boundary but due to a specific issue it was not considered appropriate to identify it as an Allocation. Criteria based policies can be used to assess these sites for development suitability, which could be a non-residential or potentially a residential use.
Blue 4	A Proposal for Transport Safeguarding that has since been completed	A Proposal for Transport Safeguarding that has since been completed.
Pink 1	A non-residential proposal or mixed use including an element of residential, which was considered to be constrained.	Following the initial assessment, the detailed assessment revealed a constraint that deemed the site to be unsuitable for non-residential development. These sites remain outside of a settlement boundary.
Pink 2	A non-residential or mixed-use proposal allocated/safeguarded for an alternative use.	A site that as been allocated/safeguarded for a use not proposed in the candidate site submission.
Yellow 1	A proposed use that the Local Development Plan does not specifically allocate land for.	This largely includes holiday accommodation along with leisure and tourism proposals. Criteria based policies have been included in the Local Development Plan to assess development proposals following adoption of the plan.
Yellow 2	Sites suggested to be retained as countryside, which remain as countryside. Also includes withdraw submissions	These sites are in the countryside outside settlement boundaries. Sites that were withdrawn from consideration are also in this category.

The Deposit 2 LDP 2 Settlement boundaries have been included on the maps for information only. Red boundaries indicate Service Villages, Service Centres and Towns. Blue boundaries indicate Local Villages and Cluster Local Villages. Please see the Deposit Plan 2 webpage for further information.

Preferred Strategy

Preferred Strategy - 2022 update

The pre-Deposit documents were subject to a formal public consultation, which ran between 17th December 2018 and 4th February 2019 at 4.30pm.

The public notice that accompanied the consultation noted that the Local Development Plan sets out a framework for determining planning applications and directing new growth in Pembrokeshire (excluding Pembrokeshire Coast National Park locations).

It added that the following documents had been published:

A Preferred Strategy - setting out a draft vision, objectives and the overall growth strategy as well as key policies for LDP 2.
A Review Report - setting out which parts of LDP 1 need to change and why.
An Initial Sustainability Appraisal Report - setting out how the Preferred Strategy proposals have been assessed in terms of their potential social and environmental impacts.
A Habitats Regulations Appraisal Screening Report - providing an assessment of whether or not the Preferred Stragegy is likley to have impacts on Natura 2000 sites.
A Candidate Sites Register - showing all Candidate Sites proposing land for development and protection and the degree to which any of the proposals submitted is likely to accord with the Preferred Strategy. An opportunity was provided for the public to comment on the Candidate Sites that had been submitted prior to the commencment of consultation on the 17th December 2018.

At that stage of the Plan process, a further opportunity was also provided for the submission of Candidate Sites for inclusion in the LDP. An additional 55 sites were submitted and an opportunity for the public to comment on these was provided, which ran from the 17th April 2019 to the 6th June 2019 at 4.30pm.

Subsequent to that stage of the process, it has become known that a small number of individuals on the PCC LDP 1 database were not notified of the opportunity to register their interest for the LDP 2 Plan database.

To remedy this oversight, Pembrokeshire County Council wrote to the affected persons, inviting them to a) register to receive notifications on the Replacement LDP (LDP 2) and b) to offer each of them the opportunity to submit land as a Candidate Site. This has resulted in three further Candidate Sites being added as an Addendum to the Candidate Sites Register during 2021. It is now intended to give the public an opportunity to comment on the three further Candidate Sites between the 19th January 2022 and 16th March 2022 at 5.00pm. This is consistent with the approach taken with regard to the Candidate Sites submitted earlier in the plan process. These sites will then be assessed using the same methodology as all other sites prior to preparation of a second Deposit Plan.

Details of the consultation on the three further Candidate Sites

If you wish to comment on these three further Candidate Sites, please ensure you send these to the Authority by 5.00pm on 16th March 2022, either by email to ldp@pembrokeshire.gov.uk or by post to Development Plans Team, Pembrokeshire County Council, County Hall, Freeman's Way, Haverfordwest, SA61 1TP.

As a further element of the remedy, Pembrokeshire County Council is now writing to each of the persons affected by the database issue to offer them a limited opportunity to comment on the Preferred Strategy and its associated documents. This does not constitute a re-opening of the Preferred Strategy consultation to the wider public and is only available to the affected persons, each of which has been seperately contacted. Those affected have been informed where to view the documents, how to obtain paper copies (if required) and how to submit comments.

Those affected have been provided with an opportunity to submit comments on the Preferred Strategy and its associated documents between 19th January 2022 and 16th March 2022 at 5.00pm.

Please note that the opportunity to submit comments on the Preferred Strategy and its associated documents is restricted to those affected by the database issue described above and is not an opportunity for wider public comment on these documents.

The Preferred Strategy sets out the overall direction proposed for the replacement Local Development Plan. It sets out the Plan’s vision, issues and objectives, preferred level of growth and spatial strategy and provides the strategic framework for more detailed policies. Nineteen Strategic Policies and five General Policies are proposed.

The Preferred Strategy, including the Key Diagram consultation ran between 17 December 2018 and 4 February 2019.

The Preferred Strategy is the first formal publication in the LDP process and follows from previous consultation on Strategic Options and the ‘Call for Sites’ for inclusion within the replacement Local Development Plan. An Easy Read Version of the Preferred Strategy is available.

The Preferred Strategy is published alongside the following documents -

A Candidate Sites Register. The Authority has previously invited anyone with an interest in land to submit sites for consideration for inclusion within the Local Development Plan. These sites are published in the Candidate Sites Register. An initial assessment of whether sites proposed for housing including as part of a mixed use site has been undertaken.
The Local Development Plan Review Report. The report sets out what needs to change in the Local Development Plan and why.
Initial SA Report Preferred Strategy. The initial appraisal has been undertaken to understand the social, environmental and economic effects of the preferred options, strategic and general policies proposed within the Preferred Strategy. This should be read in conjunction with the SA Scoping Report and its associated Appendices.
HRA Screening of Preferred Strategy has been prepared to assess the impact of the policies of the Preferred Strategy on Natura 2000 Sites. It is a high level strategic screening of the Strategy at this stage of the LDP.
