The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is your Park. So here at the National Park Authority we often ask for your views on the work we do to help keep your Park special for everyone to enjoy.
Your opinions help to shape our policies and guidance for the future, on everything from housing to access on the Coast Path National Trail.
If you’d like the chance to influence the work that we do then please have a look at what the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority is currently consulting on by clicking the links to the right and below.
National Park Authority Consultations
Public Consultation begins on National Park Local Development Plan 2 Review Report and Annual Monitoring Report 2023-2024
What is the Local Development Plan?
Local Development Plan 2 was adopted by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority in September 2020. The LDP sets out the authority’s proposals for future development and use of land in the National Park. All planning decisions are required to be made in accordance with the adopted LDP, so it provides a measure of certainty of what development will and will not be permitted.

Article 4(1) Direction Consultation
National Park Consultation begins on the proposed introduction of an Article 4 Direction to remove permitted development rights for the use of land for up to 28 days for camping, caravans and mobile homes.
What is an Article 4(1) Direction?
An Article 4 Direction withdraws the planning permission which the General Permitted Development Order grants for a class of development. Such a direction may be made by a Local Planning Authority or by the Welsh Ministers under article 4 of that order. The National Park Authority already has some Article 4 Directions in place in relation to Conservation Areas in order to protect the historic environment.
