Proposed development at: Lawrenny Home Farm, Lawrenny, Pembrokeshire

Mixed-use residential scheme - June 2018 consultation

Pre-planning Consultation Commencing/ Launch Date: 16th June 2018

Online Consultation Documents

An initial public consultation was held in July/ August 2016, followed by a further public consultation in April 2017, to allow local residents, community groups, the Local Planning Authority (LPA), Statutory Consultees and interested parties the opportunity to review the preliminary plans and input in to the proposed schemes. NB Former webpages and consultation items are now archived at,

Following on from the April 2017 public consultation a number of variations have been proposed to amend the former scheme to include a greater provision for local affordable housing on site (following a review of development costs with the Local Planning Authority). The revised scheme proposes 39 residential units, consisting of a mix of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom units.

Following on from discussions with the National Park Planning Authority, Pembrokeshire Council Housing Officers and the local Housing Association; the revised scheme now includes 7 affordable housing units, 6 of which are proposed under an adjacent/ off-site provision (in the adjoining paddock area). The affordable housing proposed consists of four, one-bedroom units and three, two-bedroom units. Six units are proposed to be developed by the Local Housing Association with one unit built by the estate (that will then be offered at current affordable housing rental levels).

The site also includes 7 rural offices to encourage sustainable place making - creating a live-work community - along with a biomass storage and infrastructure building (located to the north-west of the site).

The proposed biomass system provides a unique sustainable heating facility for the proposed dwellings. The Biomass building is sited for practicality reasons whilst also balancing visual impact and servicing requirements. It is currently envisaged that the estate will seek to actively manage the forested lands under ownership, to provide timber to supply the system in the medium to long term.

As a unique village located within the National Park, design parameters are seen to be key to ensuring the new development can be successfully integrated with the village. The design ensures that the highways do not dominate the site and a village pedestrian environment (with a focal square) can allow the new dwellings to successfully engage with the existing community. Further upgrades are also proposed, for example, upgrading foul and drainage infrastructure, bringing fibre optic broadband to the village and replacing existing transformers.

In recent months, technical documents and plans relating to the revised mixed-use housing development have been finalised in preparation for this formal pre-planning consultation. The requirements for a pre-planning consultation are laid out within the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Wales) Order 2012 (PUBLICITY AND CONSULTATION BEFORE APPLYING FOR PLANNING PERMISSION NOTICE UNDER ARTICLES 2C AND 2D).
