What sites with lapsed or refused planning we want near Pembroke Dock
Sites around Pembroke Dock with an old refusal can be worth a second look, especially where local or national policy has since changed. Sitting about 29 miles west of Carmarthen, Pembroke Dock is within Dyfed, with Pembroke and Milford Haven close by.
- Sites where planning permission has expired
- Land refused for design, access or technical reasons
- Withdrawn applications
- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
Dyfed covers west and south-west Wales, from Llanelli and the Amman valley to Carmarthen, Aberystwyth, Haverfordwest and the Milford Haven waterway. There is no green belt, but the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and part of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park are major constraints. Phosphate limits in the Teifi and Cleddau river catchments have slowed some housing schemes, and sites often come forward as edge-of-town land, village infill and farm buildings.
Before we make an offer in Pembroke Dock
Reasons for refusal
The wording of each reason tells us what would need to change.
Policy changes
National and local policy may have moved since the last decision, for better or worse.
Time since decision
The longer ago the decision, the more the context may have changed.
Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 142 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Pembroke Dock ask
My application was refused. Should I appeal or re-apply?
It depends on the reasons and time limits. Sometimes a revised application is better than an appeal. We look at the decision and say what we would do.
How do you decide if a site is worth another attempt?
We look at the reasons for refusal, any appeal, current policy and the technical evidence, then give a straight view.
Can an agent introduce land in Pembroke Dock to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
Which planning rules apply to land in Pembroke Dock?
As Pembroke Dock is in Wales, national policy comes from Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
