In an application to Pembrokeshire County Council, John Jenkins and family, through agent Hayston Developments & Planning Ltd, sought a certificate of lawfulness for an existing vehicle repair business yard and storage containers at Quoits Mill Yard, Monkton, near Pembroke. A certificate of lawfulness allows an applicant to keep a development if they can provide proof of use over a prolonged period. “However, on April 3, 2025, the Planning Authority served an Enforcement Notice on Mr John Jenkins of 27, Monkton /Mr John Jenkins of Caravan Quoits Mill, Monkton with the breach of Planning Control relating to ‘Without the benefit of planning permission – unauthorised operational development in the form of a workshop, constructed from stacked storage container units and metal roof sheeting and wall elements’. “The notice requires Mr Jenkins to ‘Permanently dismantle and remove all elements of the workshop from the land, to include the stacked storage containers units and roof sheeting and wall element forming part of the construction’. Back in 2025 a planning inspector rejected an appeal against the enforcement notice.
