Plans for three solar-powered parking meters at National Trust south Pembrokeshire beauty spots have been given the go-ahead by the National Park.

In an application to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, the National Trust, through agent Mott Macdonald Ltd, sought permission for replacement solar-powered parking meters, along with associated infrastructure including an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera, at Broad Haven, Stackpole Quay, and Bosherston Lily Ponds car parks.

An officer recommending approval said it was intended to install a Solar Strada S5 Terminal parking meter at Broad Haven, an Automatic Number Plate Recognition camera and Solar Strada S5 Terminal at Stackpole Quay, and a Solar Strada S5 Terminal parking meter at Bosherston Lily Ponds.

It added: “As there was a previous level of visual intrusion caused by the existing infrastructure, the proposed parking fee terminals are considered unlikely to exacerbate the existing level of visual impact caused by the existing pay and display terminals.

“The proposed installation of the solar parking fee terminals at Broadhaven, Stackpole Quay and Bosherston Lily Pond carpark and the ANPR camera at Stackpole Quay carpark are considered to be well designed in terms of scale, siting, visual amenity and biodiversity.”

The application for the three units was conditionally approved by park planners.

The Labour Government said that it wants to limit the requirement for public notices when it comes to licensing and, previously, the Cardiff Bay administration backed down on a suggestion that your county council would not have to publish in print its plans for tax or services charge increases.
