Plans to expand a Morrisons fuel station in Pembrokeshire have been approved.
Pembrokeshire Council has granted permission to St Albans-based Motor Fuel Group, via agent CarneySweeney, for an extension to the current petrol filling station sales building at Morrisons in Haverfordwest, alongside the development of an EV charging zone, sub-station, LV panel, bin store, four jet wash bays and related infrastructure.

A supporting statement explained: “The application site is located within the urban area of Haverfordwest and comprises an existing Morrisons petrol filling station and customer park for the adjacent Morrisons supermarket.
“The site comprises the existing areas of hardstanding that form part of the existing customer car park and petrol filling station. Some trees are located within the application site, in closest proximity to the Electric Vehicle Charging Zone and Jet washing facilities.
“Three trees are proposed for removal. Replacement tree planting is proposed to mitigate the loss of trees. Beyond the site, existing trees and hedgerows are located on the periphery of the site to the east of the retail extension and to the south of the Electric Vehicle charging Zone. These areas are not proposed to be affected by the proposals.
“Due to the site comprising entirely of areas of existing hard surfaces, the site is considered to be of low value, with few features supporting biodiversity within the site.
“Bridge Meadow Park is located to the west, beyond the site boundary that is composed of dense tree cover and the Western Cleddau River.”
A council highways officer report responding to the proposal stated: “The installation of the substation, EV charging point and jet wash will remove 30 parking bays within the carpark, six EV bays will be created from the proposal.
“There are four retail shops within Bridge Meadow Retail Park, with extensive onsite parking provision, the net loss of 24 standard parking spaces within the site overall is unlikely to have a detrimental impact on the onsite parking provision.
“The most likely impact of the proposed development will be keenly felt in the area during the construction period as such, a Construction Traffic Management Plan will be required.”
Officers granted conditional approval for the application.
