Planning
Concern was raised about the way Planning Applications are assessed between meetings, in order to meet the planning deadline.
It was suggested that consideration be given to a Planning sub-committee when more Councillors are elected next year.
It was also suggested that a local resident with expertise would be happy to act as an unpaid consultant to look at plans. Some councillors felt that, despite the credentials to do the job, any one taking this on should be an elected Councillor.
It was agreed that in the short term, a Councillor is telephoned in the specific area for their view. If there is a complex matter then plans must be viewed by a group of Councillors. Advice must be sought from current and past Chairmen and the Councillor located in specific area.
One Councillor did not attend this meeting but she wanted it to be stated that she does not feel there is any necessity for a pre planning meeting as such, unless the application is of particular importance/concern.
This important issue will be discussed next May to look at the best way forward. We may be able to invite the National Parks to discuss the best way of assessing these applications
It was suggested that all Councillors + Clerk to have official photographed badges for on site meetings. Enquiries will be made about the feasibility of this.
This issue will be discussed at our next meeting.

1. The current Community of Amroth is the most easterly coastal community in southern Pembrokeshire. Whilst it abuts Carmarthenshire in the east, it has landward boundaries with the Community of Lampeter Velfrey in the north and the Communities of Kilgetty/Begelly and Saundersfoot in the East. In demographic terms the population is heavily concentrated in the south-western part of the community where the settlements of Summerhill, Stepaside, Pleasant Valley, Wiseman’s Bridge and Amroth are all located. The remaining area is predominantly a sparsely populated agricultural area, with only two hamlets at Llanteg and Llanteglos. Community services and facilities are fairly limited, due to the close proximity of larger local centres at Kilgetty and Saundersfoot, but the area does have a number of churches/chapels, shops, public houses and a village halls, located in Summerhill and Llanteg. The A477T provides the community with an important route of communication to the main centres of population in the south of the county.
-
2. A large part of the central area of the community, amounting to approximately 7.7 sq.km., lies in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
-
3. The community council’s precept requirement for 2006/07 was £11,000 representing a Council Tax Band D equivalent of £15.58.
Special Community Review – The South Pembrokeshire (Communities) Order 1985
-
4. The 1985 South Pembrokeshire (Communities) Order created a Community of Amroth from the existing Community of Amroth; the existing Community of Crunwere less that part east of Gelli-halog included in the proposed Community of Lampeter Velfrey; that part of the existing Community of St Issells at Stepaside; and that part of the existing Community of Eglwyscummin in the District of Carmarthen containing the New Inn area west of Telpyn Point.
-
5. The community was to have a council of 10 members and was to be warded and represented as follows:
Amroth Ward – 8 councillors
Crunwere Ward – 2 councillors
6. The current community and community ward boundaries are shown on Map 1.
Summary of Community Council representations received prior to preparation of Draft Proposals
-
7. No response was received from Amroth Community Council in respect of the initial consultation document issued by the County Council entitled Periodic Community Council Review: Principles and Procedures.
Assessment
-
8. The electorate of the Community of Amroth increased significantly from 741 in 1980 to 1041 in 2007.
-
9. Housing completions, which have totalled 120 units over the last twenty years, indicate that the majority of development has occurred in the settlements of Summerhill and Stepaside.
-
10. In terms of future housing, there are existing planning permissions for 80 additional dwellings in the community, the largest commitments being at Llanteg Park (48) and Stepaside (12). There is one
Pembrokeshire County Council: REVIEW OF COMMUNITIES
-
specific housing allocation for 10 units at Stepaside made under Policies 44/45 of the Joint Unitary Development Plan (JUDP). Future housing elsewhere in the community will take the form of small scale infill development and conversions. On the basis of the JUDP proposals and existing housing commitments we consider that the community’s electorate is likely to reach 1200 in the near future.
-
11. One of the objectives of this Community Review is to look at the changes that have occurred to settlement boundaries to ensure that they do not straddle across community boundaries, either now or in the near future. The settlement limits of Stepaside, as defined under Policy 46 of the JUDP, indicate there is a small area of the settlement that is currently within the jurisdiction of the Community of Kilgetty/Begelly. We therefore propose to transfer this area to the Community of Amroth by redrawing the existing boundary from the footbridge at Brook Cottages to run along the southern boundaries of the properties known as The Rookery and Butterfield Hall, then linking to the C3185 and running north east along the road to join the existing boundary at the stream known as Ford’s Lake. This amendment would result in just three electors being transferred to the Community of Amroth, which would give a total electorate of 1044.
-
12. On the basis of these changes and the fact that the electorate should increase modestly in the near future, we have concluded that the Community of Amroth, based on the principle of more equitable representation and the Guide to the Allocation of Councillors to Community Councillors (Table 2 - Periodic Community Council Review: Principles and Procedures), should have its entitlement increased to twelve councillors.
-
13. In terms of warding arrangements we have noted the distribution of increases to the electorate since 1980 and the location of future housing developments, all of which will concentrate the electorate more heavily in the western part of the community, whilst the Crunwere ward will remain sparsely populated farmland. In terms of continuing the existing warding arrangements, and mindful of the criteria laid down in Schedule 11 of the 1972 Act, we are of the opinion that the area of Crunwere ward is large enough in electorate terms and different in make-up to the more populated Amroth Ward to justify the current warding structure. We consider that the old community loyalties and social connections in the Llanteg/Llanteglos area are still strong, as evidenced by the Llanteg Village Hall, and should continue to be respected in the electoral arrangements of the new council.
Draft Proposals
14. The County Council proposes that there should be a Community of Amroth comprising the existing Community of Amroth, plus that part of the existing Community of Kilgetty/Begelly at Stepaside. The community should be represented by 12 councillors and should be warded as follows:
