At a recent meeting of Pennar and Bufferland Community Association, a query about the status of the recently built development at Pennar Court was raised.

Clr. Maureen Colgan said that she will make enquiries with Pembroke Dock Town Council as to whether the road, vehicle parking and turning areas at Pennar Court had been adopted by the council. Residents said that quite a few unfinished jobs should be completed before the council could take full responsibility for the site.

Other matters discussed included the possibility of another new housing development on the south side of Pembroke Road.

Clr. Tony Wilcox said that a developer had applied for outline planning permission for the building of 100 dwellings on a site east of The Cricketers' Lodge playing field, with direct access onto the Pembroke Road.

Ron Selby (secretary) said that he had been invited to attend Session 24 of the LDP - Examination which will be held in the E-Commerce Centre in Pembroke Dock. Session 24 would be concerned with the viability and sustainability of commercial and housing developments in and around Pembroke and Pembroke Dock, and he had been invited to the hearing to put the points of view of the residents living in the Imble Lane area. Residents living in the area close to the sites, were greatly concerned about the two developments for the following reasons: 1. Under the LDP it is intended to build a minimum of 159 housing units (minimum) on the two sites, to give a housing density of 35 units per hectare, or 14 units per acre. The residents consider that such a density of housing amounts to gross over development, and should be greatly reduced. 2. The present plan is for all the vehicular traffic from the two sites to have access on to Pembroke Road only along Imble Lane, which is just 4.9 metres wide at its junction with Pembroke Road. The residents say that there should not be any direct vehicular access from the site 'North of Imble Lane' onto Imble Lane. Access on to Pembroke Road should be by a new road running through the field east of The Cricketers' Lodge playing field. 3. Residents had doubts that the main sewerage line running along Pembroke Road would have sufficient capacity to cope with the increased volume of effluent without extensive re-engineering. A letter from Welsh Water to PCC confirmed this opinion. 4. The 'North of Imble Lane' site sloped north to south, and was at all times very boggy at the southern end. After heavy rainfall, surface water ran across and under Imble Lane and seeped into the gardens of the properties in Springfield Road. Unless the surface water drainage problems were properly addressed, then the construction of 96 (minimum) housing units with the paved service roads would greatly increase the rate of 'run-off' into Springfield Road.

Remembrance Sunday, November 11: Clr. Maureen Colgan said she would order two wreaths on behalf of the Pennar and Bufferland Community Association to commemorate this solemn occasion. One will be laid at the cenotaph at St. Johns Church, and the other in the military cemetery at Llanion.
