The community council approved a quote for urgent repair and remedial work to be carried out at Kilgetty play area.

This work will ensure that the play area remains open throughout the spring and summer.

The provision of new play equipment in both Kilgetty and Begelly Play Areas is also being taken forward by KBCC’s play areas sub-committee.

Planning

KBCC considered the following planning applications and after discussion made the following recommendations to Pembrokeshire County Council:

18/1130/PA – New Mast, Base Station and Associated Works at Kilgetty Farm, Kilgetty Lane, Stepaside, Narberth SA67 8JL - full Council discussed this application at length and after due consideration recommended refusal.

Members objected to the new mast being sited at the proposed location, based on historical and archaeological grounds.

Full Council was also concerned that various authorities had not yet been contacted (PCC’s SuDS/SAB approval body and Dyfed Archaeological Trust) and that not all key searches had been undertaken, including an Ecological survey, on what was Grade 2 listed land.

The planning application documents were also considered to be not definitive enough on what equipment was going to be located on site.

19/0056/PA – Extension to existing bungalow at Glen View, Thomas Chapel, Kilgetty SA68 0XG - full council recommended approval.

The next meeting of the community council is scheduled to take place on Thursday, May 9 at Kilgetty-Begelly Community Centre, commencing at 7 pm.

This will be the Annual Meeting, at which KBCC’s Chair and Vice-chair for 2019/20 will be elected.
