Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority is calling on the community to participate in two important consultations that will shape the future of the area.
The first consultation concerns a proposed Conservation Area boundary at Cresswell Quay.
During the Authority’s meeting on July 24, it was proposed that Cresswell Quay and its surrounding areas should be designated as a Conservation Area, recognising its unique architectural and historic qualities and the need for their protection and careful management.
The designation brings extra protections beyond the existing National Park rules. Specifically, it would require permission to demolish certain buildings or boundary features and would also require notifying the Authority about any works to trees.
The consultation seeks to identify a boundary for the proposed Conservation Area. Comments on this should be submitted by 5pm, September 23, 2024.
The second consultation seeks public input on the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Partnership Plan for 2025-2029. The plan is a way of co-ordinating the efforts of all the organisations and individuals who contribute to National Park conservation, enjoyment and understanding. The deadline for comments on this is 5pm, September 30, 2024.
Both consultations and all supporting documents can be found at www.pembrokeshirecoast.wales/public-consultations.
