NP/21/0120/FUL
Tal y Wern Parrog Road Newport SA42 0RP
PROPOSAL
Part demolition with alterations to dwelling and garage with replacement roof and green flat roofed 
extensions COMMENTS The subject property is clearly visible from
1 The coast path from Penbont to Parrog which is well used
2 The estuary
3 Views across the estuary
The subject property is adjacent to the Newport Parrog Conservation Area All the above make the site 
particularly sensitive The development as proposed would not preserve the character or appearance of 
the adjacent conservation area The proposed amendments to the dwelling significantly increase its size 
as viewed  from the estuary and footpath The design appearance and materials are all inappropriate The 
zinc overcladding is particularly inappropriate and gives the impression of an industrial building The 
glass balustrade is inappropriate for such a site The proposed design is not sympathetic  and is 
uncompromising Presently the property and the adjacent property (which may have been built at 
roughly the same time) are of a similar design and stand apart from nearby properties There is a certain 
symmetry presently The  inappropriate development of the subject property as proposed would be 
highlighted by the traditional design of the adjacent property 

RECOMMENDATION
Refusal

Extracted from the Officer’s report for the Development Management Committee meeting on the 8th Dec.

Newport Town Council’s comments are reproduced in full below.
‘This Council considers this site very sensitive for the reasons previously set out. Also, the view of Carningli from the beach estuary and coast path will be influenced by the proposed development of the subject property. This Council stands by the comments set out in its email dated 23/03/21 in connection with the original plans.
The majority of those comments also apply to the revised plans lodged on 19/08/21 The proposed revised design with the two side extensions significantly increases the

size of the property as viewed from the North (Sea facing). The adjoining garage
adds to the overwhelming feeling of size . As stated by the Conservation officer in his comments on the original plans, the single storey offshoots do little to help the design.
The Juliette balcony is inappropriate for this sensitive site. As the Conservation
Officer points out, Tal y Wern currently has traditional proportions which it shares with the adjacent property which may have been built at approximately the same time.
The inappropriate nature of the redevelopment of Tal y Wern (as presently designed)would be brought into sharp focus by the traditional proportions of the adjacent dwelling. The Council disagrees with the Conservation officer’s comment that the proposed North sea-facing elevation is broadly traditional. To the contrary, the central gable is anything but traditional. This north elevation of the gable is glazed from the ground to the roof guttering as are both the eastern and western elevations of the same gable. Rather than adding interest as suggested, this gable, as designed, is unsympathetic and inappropriate. In addition, there is significant glazing on the ground floor of both side extensions. It seems that that the roofing material of the side extensions is zinc. This is inappropriate. This is an example of the general failure to reflect the vernacular of the area.
Turning to south elevation, this Council appreciates that this elevation is less
sensitive. However, the zinc cladding and roofing (it appears to be zinc) is
inappropriate. The box shaped windows surrounded with what appears to be zinc cladding are unsympathetic.
As previously stated, there is no attempt to reflect the vernacular of the area.

A One Planet Development consisting of barn, greenhouse, compost toilet and barn.

Nevern and Moylegrove Community Council did not support this application, although there was significant support from the Cilgwyn community.

This application was refused on 21-Sept-2020.

Newport Pembs Golf Club

25th September 2020

NP/20/0371/FUL Reg date: 17-Aug-2020

Change of use from redundant Manager’s accommodation to self-contained holiday unit.

See this application and relevant details of previous disposal of accommodation at the Golf Club on planning website here:

http://planning.pembrokeshirecoast.wales.

Nevern and Moylegrove Community Council objected to this application. See below the reasons given for refusal. It is interesting to note the last two comments where the Council refers to the condition that disposal of the accommodation can only be as an integral part of the golf club, but acknowledges that the other apartments have been put up for sale even though there was a condition. All these apartments have now been sold and as the Council sagely notes the manager’s accommodation will also be sold. The reason this accommodation is now redundant is because of the sale of these apartments along with the sale of 9 hole of the Golf Course and previously 3 flats. There is little left to manage and this has all come about because of the absolute shambles made of the amendment to the original 106 agreement when the National Parks Authority granted permission to remove this covenant from the 3 original flats allowing them to be sold on the open market. In the process of amending the original 106 agreement, a massive blunder occurred with the failure to transfer paragraphs from the original 106 agreement to the amended 106 agreement, not as the monitoring officer has stated in his report an omission of the two words ‘other than’. This meant that all other accommodation and golf course that was tied to the Golf Club was not covered by the new 106 agreement. Read the full details on the history page.

NP/20/0371/FUL
Change of use from redundant Managers accommodation to self contained holiday unit
Newport Links Golf Club, Golf Course Road, Newport, Pembrokeshire. SA42 0NR

Nevern Community Council (by a majority vote) wish to OBJECT to this planning application.

The Council still feel that it is important to keep the Managers accommodation for 
future managers and to maintain the formality and appearance of the building.
For future ownership of the Golf Course, a manager/owner residence is desirable. 
The condition 'that the property can only be disposed of as an integral part of the golf club' 
should be upheld if permission is given by PCNPA planning committee.
The Councillors feel that if planning permission is granted then this building will be put up for 
sale as the other apartments were, even though it seems that there were conditions on these also.

This application was granted at Development Management Committee on 09-Dec-2020. See the Officer’s report to committee here:
