The Planning Committee met on 6 October 2026 and considered planning application 25/0242/PA for six holiday units on land north of Cwm Plysgog, Cilgerran. Members approved the application, subject to the conditions in the officers' report and an extra archaeology condition. The vote was 12 in favour and 2 against.
On 8 September 2026 the Planning Committee approved two applications and deferred a third. Members approved laboratory and workshop buildings at the Valero refinery and a change of use from offices to a home at Wesley House, Pembroke Dock. They also voted to approve removing two chimneys at the Carpenters Arms, Cosheston, against the officers' recommendation, and deferred a tourism site at Cwm Plysgog, Cilgerran, so members could visit it.
The Planning Committee met on 28 July 2026 and considered four planning applications, plus one report for noting. It approved the Crymych commercial building, the Llangwm house changes and the Dreenhill occupancy condition removal, and approved the Cosheston porch and retaining wall while being minded to approve removing the chimney stacks there. It also noted a report on a Freystrop solar farm, which the Welsh Ministers will decide, and was told they have called in a radar application at Cawdor Barracks, Brawdy.
The committee considered three planning applications. It approved a change of use of a barn at Dewslake Farm, Lamphey, to provide facilities for the campsite, and approved a One Planet Development, a home in the countryside, at Walnut Grove, Cresselly. It deferred the application for the Carpenters Arms, Cosheston, so members could visit the site, after two chimney stacks in the conservation area had already been removed.
On 2 June 2026 the Planning Committee considered six planning applications and an update on the council's nitrates action plan. It approved a theatre at Shire Hall in Haverfordwest, a gym and indoor padel courts at Kiln Park Farm near Narberth, and a side extension in Haverfordwest. It gave the Head of Planning delegated power, meaning officers make the final decision, on a replacement wind turbine at Summerton Farm, Sageston, and on a retrospective holiday pod at Broomley Farm, Sodston.
The Planning Committee approved three planning applications on 21 April 2026: a 12-month extension for a waste recycling facility near Glanrhyd, Cardigan, a change of farmland to garden at Old Furzton Cottage, and an extension and garage at Blaenwaun, Dwrbach. It also received an update on the Council's Nitrate Action Plan. The Carpenters Arms application was withdrawn before the meeting.
On 10 March 2026 the Planning Committee refused a farm diversification scheme with three holiday lets at Oaklea, Martletwy, and approved two other applications, one at Begelly and one at Ludchurch. Officers will finish the Begelly approval under delegated powers, meaning they can issue it without returning to the Committee. Members also agreed to remove a farm worker occupancy tie on a house at New Creamson, Uzmaston, and heard an update from the Head of Planning on work to meet nutrient neutrality rules.
The Planning Committee approved new livestock buildings at Clynderwen Farm. It delegated authority to the Head of Planning to approve 20 Hamilton Terrace in Milford Haven once amended roof plans are received. It also agreed to discharge an older legal agreement that tied a farm dwelling near Hayscastle to farm work, with the Head of Planning able to refuse if the deed is not completed within three months.
The Planning Committee approved a business at Castle Villa, Hayscastle, which packs and distributes medical cooling products, against officers' advice to refuse it, and refused a holiday unit at Briardale, Lamphey. It deferred a plan for a flat and eight bedsits at 20 Hamilton Terrace, Milford Haven, so members can visit the site, and gave officers delegated power, meaning power to decide without a further meeting, to approve a holiday unit at Cresswell Barn Farm, Kilgetty, subject to a legal agreement. The meeting also discussed nutrient neutrality rules, which stop some developments adding nitrogen to protected coastal waters and pause some planning applications in the Pembrokeshire Marine catchment.
It refused a battery storage unit at Fishguard Leisure Centre car park, against officers' advice, and said it was minded to approve a relocated business at Castle Villa, Hayscastle, also against officers' advice. 'Minded to' means the Committee's provisional view, which needs a cooling-off period before Full Council can consider it. Other applications were approved, one was deferred to February 2026, and one was removed from the agenda.
The Committee refused a 50-home scheme at Gibbas Way, Pembroke, because the developer would not commit to affordable housing and other payments. It deferred a battery storage unit at Fishguard for a site visit and approved the other six applications on the agenda, including a replacement wind turbine at Sarnau Farm, Trelech.
The Planning Committee met on 7 October 2025 to consider planning applications and an update on marine nutrients. Members deferred an application for 50 homes at Gibbas Way, Pembroke, to the November meeting, and approved a change of use to a hair and beauty salon in Crymych. No vote was recorded on the Heritage Park application, where officers recommend refusal, and the Old Inn application at Camrose was withdrawn.
At its meeting on 2 September 2025, the Planning Committee noted a council report on a solar farm at Lamphey, which Welsh Ministers will decide. It deferred a holiday park application at Heritage Park, Stepaside, so members could visit the site, and agreed to end an affordable housing agreement and change some payments on a Pembroke Dock housing site. A barn application at Martletwy was withdrawn to allow time for amended plans.
The Planning Committee approved all seven planning applications on its agenda, each subject to conditions in the officers' reports. They ranged from a two-year motorhome trial in Goodwick to a replacement dwelling in Fishguard and a lagoon near Sageston. Before the applications, the Head of Planning explained that the council has paused decisions on some applications that could add nutrients to marine protected sites.
The Planning Committee approved one application, for changes to a garden room at the Carpenters Arms in Cosheston. Two other applications, at Heritage Park and at Llwynon in Narberth, were removed from the agenda after new advice from Natural Resources Wales on water quality in marine sites.

The Planning Committee met on 18 March 2025 and approved a larger replacement wind turbine at Trebover Farm, Fishguard, against officers' advice. It approved farm buildings at Tedion Farm, Lawrenny, and a gym in Milford Haven, and it discharged a legal agreement at Penally that had required two affordable homes.
