It is a material consideration for determination of planning and listed building applications along with relevant Supplementary Planning Guidance. The policy context for the appraisal is provided by Welsh Office Circular 61/96 (para 20) states that the quality of place should be the prime consideration in identifying, protecting and enhancing Conservation Areas. This depends on more than individual buildings. It is recognised that the special character of a place may derive from many factors, including: the grouping of buildings; their scale and relationship with outdoor spaces, architectural detailing, and so on. Planning Policy Wales Edition 8, January 2016 (para 6.5.17) states that if any proposed development would conflict with the objective of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of a Conservation Area, or its setting, there will

It came into being purely as a result of the decision to locate a naval dockyard on land owned by the Meyrick family of Bush. Shipwrights and carpenters, blacksmiths and riggers flocked to the new yard from villages on the Haven and from other dockyard towns, notably Plymouth. They and their families needed to be housed, and Pembroke Dock rapidly grew in classic grid-iron style, the pattern of streets still very much apparent today. Royal Naval Dockyard (SM 961037): Protected by high walls and gun towers, the Naval Dockyard occupied an 80-acre site. Work on building the dockyard began in 1814 and by 1890 some 2,000 men were employed constructing ships for the Royal Navy.

  • THE NEWS of DINAS 1894 – 1900 Transcribed from the COUNTY ECHO
    THE NEWS OF DINAS 1894 – 1900 transcribed from THE COUNTY ECHO DINAS HISTORY SERIES his book is a transcription of all the Dinas news items from The County Echo, a Fishguard-based newspaper, for the years 1894, Twhen the newspaper commenced publication, to 1900 inclusive. The content is remarkable for its comprehensive coverage of village life. The correspondent(s), perhaps unwittingly, produced a social history of Dinas in the last seven years of the nineteenth century, one which almost reads, without editorial help, as a connected narrative. A picture emerges of a lively, sometimes controversial, but confident community in the far-south-western fringe of Wales at the very end of the Victorian era. The way of life recorded is both rural and truly parochial, but always tempered with the globe-trotting adventures and tragedies of the many sailors and master mariners from the village. This was still the age of the horse and cart, with bicycles being a novelty. Chapel and church life, along with deferential accounts of the clergy involved, inevitably take a prominent part in the narrative as do the fulsome accounts of funerals and tragedies; however, social innovation in the form of a Regatta in 1899 is proudly recorded. The Temperance Movement, so vitally important at the turn of the century, is faithfully described in its manifestations from hayfield to chapel. The text is presented without editing or alteration, variable spellings and local usage being preserved; where some doubt exists over the original, then the editorial convention of square brackets is used. Only one comment is made and that to explain a deliberate policy of concealment by the correspondent.

  • Calculation of Council Tax
    Calculation of Council Tax The Council has calculated its tax base for 2017-18 at 55,919.65 and set the council tax at £883.15 (band ‘D’ equivalent). Council has also resolved that an additional Council Tax premium of 50% be introduced for Second Homes from the 1st April 2017 for the 2017-18 financial year. The tax levied for each property band throughout the County in respect of the County Council’s expenditure including levies, and the Police & Crime Commissioner Dyfed Powys precept of £11,959,610 is shown below: Property Band A B C D E F G H I Pembrokeshire C.

    CONTRACT WWB/02/07 NNAATTUURRAALL CCAAPPIITTAALL AAUUDDIITT 2: APPENDICES Collation of summarised information on biodiversity and the wider environment to assist the farming community of this region in diversification of interests. This report is a synthesis of available information on all aspects of natural and cultural heritage. Prepared for Planed on 29 February 2008 by West Wales Biodiversity Information Centre Landsker Business Centre, Llwynybrain, Whitland, Carmarthenshire SA34 0NG.

Contributors: Louise Austin, Sarah Beynon, Rob Davies, Sid Howells, Jon Hudson, Kate Jones, Marion Page, Vicky Swann. PLANED: Natural Capital Audit West Wales Biodiversity 2008 1 APPENDIX 1: Farmer Profiles Intensive farmers (dairy) Farmer 1 Farm 1 supports 3 sons as well as parents, and therefore on a farm of 430 acres (plus 170 acres of rented land), diversification has been necessary. They own an agri-contracting business and permit shooting walks on the farm. They are milking over 150 cows, and grow arable crops on their land: 46 acres of maize and 230 acres of corn. They are currently not in any agri-environment scheme other than a Catchment Sensitive Farming project: Deep Ford Brook project. However, he says that again, this brings with it more red tape: he can now not increase stock numbers, and believes this is just another way of getting information regarding fertiliser usage: “it is just NVC through the back door”. Farmer 1 adds that “a stocking rate of 1 cow per acre has been pushed by the government over the past 40 years” and therefore, due to financial reasons, they cannot justify any management regulations placed on their productive grazing land.
