This block of flats were built with minimum disturbance to neighbours and no obstruction of local traffic. Situated on London Road Pembroke Dock they are an example of buildings which complement their surroundings. The front wall was adapted by cutting down the existing wall, it is quite elegant.

Proposed Development
From St Daniels Hill now
The developers and PCC Planning Committee are treating the residents of Pembroke with contempt.
This is in a Conservation Area on a quayside. Parking one space for each resident, and for the Cornstore and Custom House workers BUT note that the spaces are two deep one car parked behind another.
Note the tasteful vernacular architecture
A scene set for a remake of Stanley Kubricks "Clockwork Orange" the slums of the future.

Security gone mad your and my money
This work is in preparation to widening the footpath, and destroying any conservation value mown rye grass rules ok. I will be publishing photographs of one year in the life of a wild flower meadow in the Mencap Gardens Stackpole, then you can make up your own minds which you prefer.
These fences courtesy PCC block access from Pembroke to the North Bank of Pembroke River
This gate is now locked
At the opening of the exhibition to promote this development the developer said " I saw an opportunity to make a great deal of money"
At the foot of Gooses Lane Pembroke. Are these trees on PCCouncil land. Has permission been given for them to be felled if so why were they felled. If this is in preparation for stooling for coppicing or pollarding very good. But in future the trees should not be clear felled but carried out over a period of years so that the tree screen is not compromised. PCC should implement a plan for coppicing as most stone and bank walls are being destroyed by the weight of mature trees, as little regular coppicing has been carried out since the 1950s.
This is a major development which will provide a precedent and destroy the medieval settlement pattern of Pembroke. Fifteen appartments with roads in the back gardens of the listed buildings on the Main Street. The walls have been stripped of vegetation by PCC to identify those worthy of conservation even though these are the most important definers of the Conservation Area. The developer has been accumulating these plots for fifty years and must get planning permission before the Orders about development in gardens is published (if ever). If you want a precedent see 39 Main Street to Westgate Chapel to see previous similar institutional vandalism.
These walls in a Conservation area hidden behind ivy attached to listed buildings up to six metres in height built of limestone freestone with a lime mortar mix will not be protected as PCC has no money to enforce their retention and is not prepared to enforce their conservation by the owners see previous planning application.
