Planning
KBCC considered the following planning applications and after discussion made the following recommendations to Pembrokeshire County Council:
Advertisement - land west of Stepaside School, Carmarthen Road, Kilgetty. Councillors noted that no properties had yet been built and expressed concern that the large size of the advertisement board could cause a distraction to motorists when driving alongside the school. Council recommended refusal.
Proposed communal kitchen and store with 10 no. en-suite chalets at Loveston Mill, Loveston. Councillors noted that the proposed development was based in a high risk coal mining area and in an area prone to flooding. There appeared to be only one access to the camping area and no dedicated exit for those with disabilities should there be flooding. Access might also be a concern for the emergency services. The application also appears to show a discrepancy on the description of the proposed chalets which are also described as camping pods. Council recommended refusal.
Replacement of temporary residential caravan (approved under 17/1248/PA) with a permanent rural enterprise worker’s dwelling (as an extension to the existing textile workshop/studio building) - eesubmission, at Ash Farm, Ivy Chimney Lane, Stepaside. Council recommended approval.
