Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority

Today I experienced the extremely unpleasant result of a series of questionable decisions by the Authority.
We have walked down the road to East Block House from the upper road for sixty years. Today the new owners have erected Keep Out Signs and ordered me off their Land.
We asked very politely if we could continue, but were told turn around and leave now, when I asked why we were told "that they had problems with the villagers".
When was the footpath diverted who owned the land at the time.
Why is the vehicle road now locked. Where does the land attached to East Blockhouse finish.

Pembroke Mill Pond LNR

One of the Planning Conditions when these houses were built was that there was to be a ten meter undeveloped strip to be left at the pond edge to safeguard the wildlife.
The trees were felled by the developer on the grounds that "he could not sell the houses without a view of the pond" the householder on the left cleared his strip and has been told by PCC that this has to be replanted.
The owner on the right has since completely cleared the vegetation on his strip,by spraying???. When will PCC enforce the Planning Conditions.

East End Pembroke

Heavy traffic to the Power Station at the start of the tourist season, no provision for pedestrian crossing.When it is completed there will be no provision for pedestrian safety even though the traffic will be speeded up.
We need a blanket 20mph speed limit in urban and residential areas not these outdated retrograde schemes, which destroy the quality of life and degrade the Conservation Area.
There must be traffic lights and a controlled pedestrian crossing.

Pembroke River

Hardcore builders rubbish dumped on an SSI, PCC lease Pembroke River from the Duchy of Cornwall

Freshwater East

A LNR in the National Park, diesel generator audible for a four hundred meter radius

Mill Pond Pembroke

These ferns are on the pond wall,just been sprayed.090610

Total Weed Killer

This is how we appear to tourists, I am sure that this weed killer is illegal. Despite telling PCC that this must not happen for four years running it happens every year. The mosses and bryophytes on the walls of the Mill Pond are killed every year while 21C plant reedbeds to encourage wildlife.

Captains Walk Pembroke

 

These properties are being increasingly obvious with the removal of the natural vegetation on the Local Nature reserve margin.

Green Belt and Gardens as Brownfield sites

Sir George Younger announced at Parliamentary Business, That Gardens are to be not designated as Brownfield sites to allow local authorities to prevent the loss of further green spaces in urban areas. He also announced his intention to suspend new LDPs JUDPs or whatever these new plans are called until he can introduce new legislation to prevent further erosion of Green Belts.
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN WALES WE MUST START THE CAMPAIGN NOW BEFORE OR HISTORIC TOWNS ARE DESTROYED BY GREEDY LOCAL DEVELOPERS AND PLANNING DEPARTMENTS WHO HAVE "A PRESUMPTION FOR DEVELOPMENT " within settlement boundaries and cannot take into account Conservation Area Status and the effect on adjacent Listed Buildings.
We have already seen candidate sites advertised for sale with outline planning permission, before the procedure is even part way through.

South Quay Pembroke

Another stage in the attempts to release the area to the East of the Castle to the private sector for commercial development.
21C have spent public money commission a report  by "stakeholders" written by a  local consultant, this must be read and read criticaly. Comments to 21C by the Twenty Fifth of June 2010.
In the meantime the owners of neglected listed buildings and unlisted buildings with in the Conservation Area must be compelled to make them weather proof, so that they no longer decay until the only alternative is to demolish them as unsafe.
PCC are the owners they also have the statutary duty to compel owners to keep such buildings in repair.
