LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE APPEAL SITE 3.1 Hoplass Farm is located approximately 1.5km to the south of a large oil refinery and the small hamlet of Rhoscrowther. 3.2 Access to the site is via an unmade farm access track from the minor road which runs east to west from Wallaston Cross to Rhoscrowther along the northern boundary of the north-western and north-eastern fields. 3.3 The topographical arrangement of the Site is as follows: • There is an overall range in height of 22.7m falling from the highest part of the site mid-way along the east boundary of the North-East Field at 61.2m AOD, to the lowest part of the site along the southern boundary of the south-eastern field at 38.5m AOD. • The ridgeline of the site runs east to west across the centre of the North-East and North-West Fields and fluctuates between 61.2m AOD and 60.3m AOD. • The gradient varies with the northern section forming the ridgeline of a low elevated spur near the eastern head of a shallow valley flowing west to Angle Bay. The gradients on the northern boundary just slope to the north, but predominantly, the topography slopes very gently to the south across the north- western and north-eastern fields. The gradient increases southwards across the remaining four fields to a further shallow valley which also flows west to Angle Bay, where it terminates in an area of marshland at the eastern fringe of the Bay. 3.4 The existing boundary and field dividing hedgerows vary in quality, but are generally well maintained and dense. They are predominantly earth and stone banks with hedgerows on top and are approximately 2-2.5m high. The dominant species is Blackthorn with some Hawthorn, Elder, Honeysuckle and Rose species. In the wetter areas 4 laurence associates Appeal on behalf of planning/architecture/landscape KS SPV18 Ltd bordering the drainage ditches in the south-eastern and south-western fields there are blocks of scrubby Willow, giving greater height, up to approximately 3.5 to 4m. The western hedgerow of the north-western field adjacent to the entrance track is fairly low with sparser vegetation allowing views across the site from the track. 3.5 There are very few trees on the site. There is a short section of Elm in the hedgerow between Hoplass Farmhouse garden and the south- western field and a further section of Elm in the southern corner of the south-eastern field bordering the stream and ponds, with some willow scrub in the south-eastern corner of the south-eastern field. 3.6 The principal landscape features consist of the earth and stone hedge boundaries, with associated hedgerow vegetation on top and a limited number of small hedgerow trees. These provide a robust screen of the site from many areas. The hedgerow trees, although not very tall or prominent, do contribute to the rural character of the landscape and provide connectivity with the surrounding hedgerow trees via the connecting earth and stone hedgebanks and streams and wet ditches. The hedges help to reinforce the landscape pattern of farmland. In their current state they also provide valuable habitat reserves and corridors for wildlife movement across the area. There are a number of wet drainage ditches, particularly along the inside of the north, east and south boundaries of the east field and a section in the south-west field. These connect with a small stream and series of ponds, one of which forms the southern boundary of the south-west field. A copy of the location plan submitted with the subject application is attached at RM.1. 3.7 There are a number of settlements in the locality. The largest include Pembroke Dock (4.5km to the east), Pembroke (6.5km to the east) and Milford Haven (4.8km to the north across the Milford Haven Estuary). Other smaller settlements include the villages of Angle (6km to the west), Castlemartin (2.5km to the south), St. Twynnells (4.2km 5 laurence associates Appeal on behalf of planning/architecture/landscape KS SPV18 Ltd to the southeast) and Hundleton (4km to the east). No settlements are visible from the site. 3.8 A detailed analysis of the site and its surroundings are contained in the Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) that accompanied the application and has already been produced as part of the initial appeal documentation. 6 laurence associates Appeal on behalf of planning/architecture/landscape KS SPV18 Ltd 4. PLANNING HISTORY OF THE APPEAL SITE 4.1 There is no planning history of direct relevance to the appeal proposal within the appeal site itself; however an application for a solar PV development was submitted and subsequently refused on land at Wogaston Farm (ref: 12/0906/PA), which lies to the southwest of the appeal site. It is understood that the decision to refuse the scheme at Wogaston Farm is also the subject of an appeal. 7 laurence associates Appeal on behalf of planning/architecture/landscape KS SPV18 Ltd 5. DETAILS OF THE APPEAL APPLICATION 5.1 The appeal application was validated by the LPA on the 25 January 2013 and was, therefore, due for a decision on the 26 April 2013. The Local Planning Authority failed to issue a decision notice within the prescribed period and the applicant has therefore exercised its right of appeal against non-determination. The application was placed before the planning committee on the 1 October to seek a resolution as to whether the LPA would support the proposal in its original submitted form. Members agreed with the officer’s recommendation that, had they retained jurisdiction over the proposal, they would have refused the application for the following reason. “The proposed development by reason of its location, siting and scale, would represent a visually incongruous and intrusive feature that would be harmful to both the landscape and landscape character of the area, including the setting of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Thus the scheme would be contrary to Policies GN.1 and GN.4 of the Local Development Plan for Pembrokeshire.” 5.2 The proposed development will incorporate the following elements • Solar PV panels mounted on a steel frame with a pile driven foundation (maximum height 2.146m); • A centre station located by the western boundary of the eastern field, which will comprise the following components. A transformer 2.85m high x 1.5m x 1.5m, a switch gear 2.85m high x 4.13m x 2.5m and a WPD cabinet with an overall size of 3.1m high x 6.68m x 5.33m; • Boundary fencing (2.03m high) of a weld mesh type, painted green, enclosing the site; • All-weather access route and circulation route for 8 laurence associates Appeal on behalf of planning/architecture/landscape KS SPV18 Ltd maintenance works; surface to be installed with loose aggregate approximately 3.5m wide, these will be allowed to naturally grass over; • Seven Inverter stations are proposed, each of which will consist of one transformer and two inverter cabinets, 2.66m high x 3.18m x 1.29m. These are to be placed on a concrete slab and will be painted green. 5.3 The proposed general arrangement of the solar PV panels will consist of rows of mounting structures making up the modules (or p.v panels) and the supporting impact beams. The mounting structure design for this site is composed of 2 rows of modules angled at 20 degrees with the front lower edge of the panel set 0.80m above ground level and the rear edge set at 2.04m above ground level, although the nature of the land will result in minor variations to these dimensions. The panels are 1.64m long and the overall dimension from the front, lower edge to the top edge is 3.30m allowing for a small gap between the 2 panels. 5.4 In terms of further landscape mitigation it is envisaged that the height of the existing hedgerow will be allowed to increase to approximately 4-5m.

Whether they mounted their attacks from the north or the south, when Norman barons invaded Wales after the Norman Conquest of 1066, they almost invariably ended up in West Wales and consolidated their position by building fortresses. Initially, these were simple “motte and bailey” constructions, typically built on a mound with ditches and/or wooden barricades for protection.

    Editorial UR Annual Meeting was held at the Congregational Memorial Hall, London, 12th May, 19c5. Dr. B. Nightingale presided over a large attendance of members and friends. The Osecretary reported the arrangements made forth e Autumnal Meeting at Bristol before it was known that the gatherings of the Congregational Union would be postponed, and the thanks of the Society were forwarded to Mr. G. H. Wicks of that city for having prepared a paper to be read on the occasion. The preparations for the Historical Exhibition were necessarily post­ p0ned owing to the war, but the secretary undertook to report at the next meeting what the prospects were of resuming the work. The t:·easurer reported a small balance in hand, that satisfactory result b.'ing mainly due to a kind grant from the Coward Trust made tlm:ugh the president of the Society, Dr. John Brown, who was happily present at the meeting, and was congratulated on the sixtieth anniversary of his leaving Lancashire College for the Congregational ministry. Among publications of interest recently issued from the press, there were mentioned the third and completing volume of Original Records, by Prof. G.

  • Case Study - Valero Energy Oil Refinery
    Case Study - Valero Energy Oil Refinery Background: LOBO Advanced Platform System And Valero Energy at Pembroke Refinery. The Pembroke Refinery is an oil refinery situated on the Pembrokeshire coast in Rhoscrowther, South West Wales. It first came on stream in 1964. The refinery occupies a prominent position on the south bank of the Milford Haven Waterway and can be seen for many miles. Valero Energy Approximately a quarter of the site is within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. It was initially owned by The Regent Oil Company, a large domestic marketer of Trinidad-produced oils. The Regent Oil Company was fully acquired by Texaco in 1956 (although the brand name was only phased out in the UK in favour of Texaco in the late 1960s). Chevron acquired Texaco in 2000 and Valero Energy Corporation bought the refinery from Chevron in 2011. In August 1992, Texaco offered to purchase the entire village of Rhoscrowther, which lies immediately adjacent to the refinery. Many of the residents accepted the offer - especially after a large explosion occurred - which included their properties being purchased at market price plus reasonable expenses. Once the properties were acquired by the refinery, they were demolished. Today, five houses, a 14th-century church and an abandoned farm are all that remain of Rhoscrowther. Production Units The refinery has a fluid catalytic cracking unit that came on stream in 1982. It also has an HF Alkylation unit, a catalytic reforming unit and three hydro treating type units. Pembroke refinery has the capability of refining high Total Acid Number crude oils like Captain and Doba crudes.
