Introduction What is a Local Development Plan? 1.1 The Plan includes the long term vision for the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and the objectives and land use policies needed to deliver that vision. It includes a key diagram, area wide and area specific policies and allocations (sites for development and restraint). The Plan also includes a Proposals Map illustrating each of the Plan’s policies and proposals with a spatial component. 1.2 This document outlines: a) Where we are now b) Where we want to be by 2031 c) How we can get there 1.3 Details of all stages of Local Development Plan preparation can be found in the Authority’s Delivery Agreement.1 1.4 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 provides the framework for Local Development Plans in Wales. 1.5 The Plan should be seen and read as a whole. Often there will be more than one policy relevant to a proposed development, and all policies will be taken into consideration. In order to make the Plan simple to follow and easily understood policies have been expressed as directly as possible. Issues such as landscape, amenity, access, and design will arise with practically all applications for development and separate policies are included on each of these aspects. National Planning Policy 1.6 In producing the replacement Local Development Plan the National Park Authority has had regard to national planning policies.2 In accordance with guidance contained in national planning policy Local Development Plan’s should have regard to national planning policies but not repeat them. The Local Development Plan should therefore be considered in conjunction with the Planning Policy Wales, Edition 9, November 2016 10, December 2018 which identifies those areas where clear statements of national development control policy should not need to be repeated in Local Development Plans. It should be noted therefore that the Local Development Plan only provides the policy framework

  • Cetaceans of Wales
    CETACEANS OF WALES Although the waters along the Welsh coastline are not particularly species rich with around 30% (nine out of 28 species) of the UK cetacean fauna recorded in the region since 1980, eight of those species are either present throughout the year or recorded annually as seasonal visitors. Most nearshore cetacean sightings are of bottlenose dolphin or harbour porpoise. The species most common offshore is the short-beaked common dolphin. The waters are, however, nationally important for having the only recognised resident community of bottlenose dolphins in England and Wales, with the population numbering somewhere between 200 and 300 individuals. It also has significant concentrations of harbour porpoises, particularly in the south-west. The harbour porpoise and bottlenose dolphin are both listed in Annex 2 of the Habitats Directive as species whose conservation require the designation of Special Areas of Conservation. In the summer, a frontal system develops in the southern Irish Sea, with concentrations of plankton, fish and quid, which attract feeding concentrations of cetaceans otherwise only found in the open sea. Examples of these species include the minke whale, fin whale, long-finned pilot whale and short-beaked common dolphin. CETACEAN SPECIES REGULARLY SIGHTED IN THE REGION Short-beaked common dolphin Delphinus delphis Common offshore in the Irish Sea and St George’s Channel, particularly over the Celtic Deep west of the Smalls. Some sightings off Skokholm, Skomer, and Grassholm Islands (Pembrokeshire) year round but with greatest numbers July-September. Harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena Fairly common and widespread year round. Peak numbers April- November, particularly September.
