The purpose of the Local Development Plan Deposit Plan Consultation is to set out the long term vision for Pembrokeshire County Council’s planning area and the objectives and land use policies needed to deliver that vision. 2. The document outlines includes a Vision, Objectives, Strategic Policies and General Policies. It also includes specific land use allocations for a range of land-use types. 3. It is a full draft of the replacement Local Development Plan. 4. The Deposit Plan includes site-specific allocations including for example housing, employment and community facility sites. 5. Details of all stages of Local Development Plan preparation can be found in the Authority’s Delivery Agreement. 6. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 provides the framework for Local Development Plans in Wales. 7. The Plan should be seen and read as a whole. https://www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/local- development-plan-review/deposit. 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 specific general development policies (GN 1 and GN 2) cover these aspects. 8. The Deposit Local Development Plan is underpinned by a large amount of technical studies, assessments, evidence and supporting information which includes a Sustainability Appraisal (SA) incorporating Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA). It was also informed by the Equalities Impact Assessment on the Preferred Strategy and this updated Equalities Impact Assessment at the Deposit Plan stage. Context Setting Equality Impact Assessment 9. The specific equality duties in Wales are set out in the Equality Act 2010 (Statutory Duties) (Wales) Regulations 2011. They place a duty on Pembrokeshire County Council to assess and consult on the impact its proposed policies will have on people who are protected under the Equality Act 2010 (people who share a protected characteristic of age, disability, gender reassignment, pregnancy and 4 maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation) and its ability to meet the public sector equality duty. 10. 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. 11. 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. 12. This process requires listed bodies to consider taking action to address any issues identified such as access, addressing negative impacts, where possible. The Authority must have ‘due regard’ to the results of this process.1 13. Equality Impact Assessments are a systematic way of meeting this duty. The headings below set out the ways in which this

  • Dyfed Final Recommendations News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Issued by the Telephone 02920 395031 Boundary Commission for Wales Caradog House Fax 02920 395250 1-6 St Andrews Place Cardiff CF10 3BE Date 25 August 2004 FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN THE PRESERVED COUNTY OF DYFED The Commission propose to make no change to their provisional recommendations for five constituencies in the preserved county of Dyfed. 1. Provisional recommendations in respect of Dyfed were published on 5 January 2004. The Commission received eleven representations, five of which were in support of their provisional recommendations. Three of the representations objected to the inclusion of the whole of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division within the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency, one objected to the name of the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency and one suggested the existing arrangements for the area be retained. 2. The Commission noted that, having received no representation of the kind mentioned in section 6 (2) of the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, there was no statutory requirement to hold a local inquiry. The Commission further decided that in all the circumstances they would not exercise their discretion under section 6 (1) to hold an inquiry. Final recommendations 3. The main objection to the provisional recommendations was in respect of the inclusion of the Cynwyl Elfed electoral division in the Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire constituency. It was argued that the division should be included in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr on the grounds that the majority of the electorate in the division fell within that constituency and that inclusion in Carmarthen East and Dinefwr rather than Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire would reduce the disparity between the electorates of the two constituencies and would bring them closer to the electoral quota.

  • 79 at a Meeting of Pembroke Dock Town Council Held at the Pater Hall
    At a Meeting of Pembroke Dock Town Council held at the Pater Hall, Pembroke Dock on Thursday, 1st September, 2005 at 6.30 p.m. PRESENT: Councillor R.G. Watts, Mayor D.T.Esmond, Mrs. P.E.M. Folland Mrs. C. Fortune, Mrs. P.E. George, P.G. Gwyther, K.C. Higgs, D.L. Jones, S. Perkins, Mrs. V.M.J. Roach, P. Weatherall. IN ATTENDANCE: Ian. Jones, Town Clerk Mrs. S. Lowen, Committee Clerk The meeting was opened with Prayer. 63. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies for absence were received from Councillor Mrs. J.M. Rees. 64. SERGEANT ERIC EVANS – DYFED POWYS POLICE The Council welcomed Sergeant Evans of Dyfed Powys Police who had been invited to attend the meeting in order to address concerns of Members including the use of 999 calls to report anti-social behaviour. He said that these concerns had been passed on to his Chief Inspector. He advised that all serious calls should go through the 999 system and non- emergency calls to go through the contact center number. If someone felt threatened by anti- social behaviour then this would warrant a 999 call. Councillor Mrs. C. Fortune reported that people in Pennar Ward had called the police on the contact centre number to report incidents of anti-social behaviour and have had no response. The community in Pennar had convened a public meeting to which they had invited a police representative, who had agreed to attend. Unfortunately, the representative had not been available at the last minute because of work commitments, and had failed to make contact to re-arrange another meeting.

  • Pembroke Story
    PEMBROKE PREFACE This reference is not a history of Pembroke but is a guide to some of the houses, streets, buildings and artefacts which have been ‘lost’ to the Town. Pembroke, being a very old town, has changed and evolved over the centuries and it is obviously impossible to list all the changes, even if they were known. In order to balance the content of this reference and the Pembroke Dock guide I have taken the boundary between the towns as Pembroke Road and Imble Lane thus placing Bush in Pembroke although it is geographically in Pembroke Dock. Between the two wars, there was almost no new building in the area and during the Second World War many properties in Pembroke Dock were destroyed by enemy bombing. New estates of private and council houses were planned from 1945 onwards to make good this loss and to cater for the clearance of old houses. In the 1950s, it was Government policy to demolish whole areas of ‘unfit’ houses and the Pembroke Borough Council, implementing this policy, demolished much of Monkton and parts of Station Road. Many other houses were classed as individually unfit and were demolished as part of the same policy. The purpose of this reference is to assist people who are researching their ancestors and who wish to find the location of the house where they lived. As individual streets and even whole areas have disappeared, this can be difficult. The document may also be of interest to those who research local history. I have tried to be as accurate as I can but there is much I have not been able to uncover and no doubt some new historical facts will emerge as time goes by.

There began a process of consultation on those proposals. The Commission received hundreds of written representations on the initial proposals. Public hearings were also held across Wales to enable members of the public to express their views on the initial proposals and to suggest how they could be amended and improved. We are extremely grateful to all those who took the time to contribute. The Commissioners have considered all the written and oral representations very carefully. As a result, we have revised our initial proposals. We have proposed changes, often significant changes, to 19 of the 29 proposed constituencies. We have also proposed different names for 9 of the constituencies. There is now an opportunity to make representations on these revised proposals before we make our final report on proposed parliamentary constituencies for Wales.
