If you live, work or play in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and you want to influence its future, now is the chance to have your say.

The formal public consultation of the National Park Authority's Local Development Plan started on Wednesday.

The authority is the Local Planning Authority for the National Park area and assesses planning applications against the policies of the development plan.

Planning officer Sarah Middleton said: "We're preparing a new plan which will guide the planning decisions made in the future. The draft or 'Deposit' Plan we've drawn up after our initial consultation process gives you the chance to tell us whether you think we've got it right."

The plan contains policies to guide where development should and shouldn't happen up until 2021. Parcels of land are allocated for developments of housing, including affordable housing, business and other community uses.

It also highlights areas that should be protected from development, such as open spaces, 'green wedges', countryside and coastline.

The plan also covers issues like minerals and waste development; the local economy, particularly in terms of tourism; and diversification in the countryside.

Or you can view it at the Park Authority's head office in Llanion Park, Pembroke Dock - where a free CD version is available; at Oriel y Parc Landscape Gallery, St. Davids; Tenby National Park Centre and at libraries across Pembrokeshire.

If you want to comment on the plan, you'll need to respond by Wednesday, April 22, when the consultation closes.
