Works at Haverfordwest’s police station which aim to improve safety and access have been approved by county planners.
In an application to Pembrokeshire County Council, through agent Ridge & Partners LLP, The Police & Crime Commissioner for Dyfed Powys Police Dafydd Llywelyn sought permission for works at Haverfordwest Police Station, Merlins Hill.
The proposed development includes new plant to replace existing plant on the roof, with additional proposed walkway and guardrail to provide access.
Additionally, a proposed CAT ladder to provide secondary access to existing roof walkway, with new external plant to be located on the ground floor car park, which are to be enclosed in a mesh security cage.
No adverse comments on the proposal were made by Haverfordwest Town Council.
An officer report recommending approval said the applicant “advises that replacement of the existing plant on the roof, with additional proposed walkway and guardrail to provide access, CAT ladder to provide secondary access to existing roof walkway and a new external plant to be located on the ground floor car park, with mesh security cage will provide better energy efficiency, safety and improved access within the ground of Haverfordwest Police Station,” adding: “This would have positive economic, social and environmental effects.
“Although the proposed development is positioned within the curtilage of the existing police station, the replacement of the existing plant on the roof will be subservient, and to the same scale and form as existing, the new walkway and access will improve accessibility and safety to and from the roof, and the installation of the new ground floor plant will be screened by a mesh cage, which is located in an area which is screen by adjacent existing buildings.”
The application was conditionally approved by officers under delegated powers.
