No requests to speak were received from members of public. 53/P/21 New Applications A. DM/2021/01210 Householder Proposed construction of an external deck linking the first floor level to the garden to the rear of the property. Planning Minutes Tuesday 17th August 2021 Location: Pomona 15 Cornford Close Monmouth Monmouthshire NP25 3NT Recommendation required by 11th August 2021 Councillors noted that it was not clear from the plans whether the lower area would be a new paved area or remain grass and, as a result, concerns were raised regarding the potential impact on water run-off. Concerns were also raised regarding the neighbours’ view but it was noted that nothing had been reported by neighbours. Councillors welcomed the efforts to encourage biodiversity. It was resolved to recommend approval of application DM/2021/01210 with the condition that consideration is given to the SuDS needs should the lower deck of the garden be a hard surface. B. DM/2019/01300 Reconsultation Erection of 1 no. Replacement Detached Dwelling and 5 new Detached Dwellings. Provision of new access road. Amended domestic curtilage to existing dwelling house and all associated external works. Location: Woodmancote Highfield Road Osbaston Monmouth Monmouthshire NP25 3HR Recommendation required by 16th August 2021 The Chair told Members that previous comments from the Committee were not included on the portal and that he had addressed this with the Planning Officer. Councillors noted the comments recorded by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and Welsh Water with particular concerns raised about the drainage issues. It was noted that the Applicants have not fully addressed the issue of foul water run-off. Councillors agreed that, whilst they had previously approved this application, the new information from Welsh Water and NRW regarding the drainage issues and phosphates meant that the Committee were not content to re-approve this application. It was resolved to recommend refusal of application DM/2019/01300 on the grounds of insufficient drainage for the application and the issue of excessive phosphates raised by Welsh Water and NRW. C. DM/2021/01240 Householder Single storey extension to rear of existing dwelling. Location: 8 Berryfield Park Monmouth Planning Minutes Tuesday 17th August 2021 Monmouthshire NP25 3DQ Recommendation required by 17th August 2021 It was resolved to recommend approval of application DM/2021/01240. D. DM/2021/01242 Householder Two storey extension to rear of property. Single storey extension to side/rear of property. Replacement porch canopy, Timber cladding to first floor external walls. Location: Perinton Highfield Road Osbaston Monmouth Monmouthshire NP25 3HR Recommendation required by 17th August 2021 It was noted that there were no issues raised by neighbours and that the bat survey was sufficient. Councillors discussed the increase in hard-surface and it was deemed that water run-off would need to be taken into consideration. It was resolved to recommend approval of application DM/2021/01242 with the condition that the Applicant consider the SuDS needs. E. DM/2021/01208 Planning Permission Renovation of shopfront. Location: The Malthouse 10 - 14 St Mary's Street Monmouth Monmouthshire NP25 3DB Recommendation required by 20th August 2021 Councillors welcomed the application and were excited about its potential. Councillors congratulated the Applicants on their research into the building. It was resolved to recommend approval of application DM/2021/01208. F. DM/2020/00736 Reconsultation Proposed extension. Location: Monnow Lodge Osbaston Road Monmouth Monmouthshire NP25 3AX Recommendation required by 20th August 2021 Councillors noted that the plans are much reduced and, therefore, the Committee’s previous concerns regarding pressure on the drainage system Planning Minutes Tuesday 17th August 2021 would no longer be applicable. It was noted that there was no bat or tree survey and it was questioned whether these would be needed. Councillors welcomed the conversion of the lodge into a potential family home. It was resolved to recommend approval of application DM/2020/00736 with the condition that an updated bat survey is undertaken. G. DM/2021/01273 Householder Installation of outdoor swimming pool. Location: Salts Lodge Ancrehill Lane Monmouth NP25 5HS Recommendation required by 25th August 2021 It was noted that the pool was close to the river and so concerns were raised about any potential accidental spillages from the pool into the river and contamination from any chemicals used (particularly in times of flood). It was noted, however, that the elevation of the pool should negate any concern regarding potential cross-contamination. It was resolved to recommend approval of application DM/2021/01273. H. DM/2021/00770 Reconsultation Convert conservatory to room, new utility to side and detached garage. Location: 4 Lancaster Way Osbaston Monmouth Monmouthshire NP25 3BE Recommendation required by 31st August 2021 Councillors assumed that the application was sent for re-consultation following neighbour’s comments. Councillors noted that 8 neighbours were given the opportunity to comment and that only one neighbour provided a comment but with little information. It was resolved to recommend approval of application DM/2021/00770. 54/P/21 DM/2021/00706 Old Coach House, New Dixton Road, Monmouth, NP25 3PP To consider any updating information provided to Monmouthshire County Council Planning Department in relation to application DM/2021/00706. Councillors considered the amended plans placed on the MCC Planning Portal on 9th August 2021 and noted the terrace is now a “covered terrace”. It was commented by Councillors that neighbours were unlikely to have had the opportunity to consider these amended plans. Councillors felt that the plans were still unclear. It was resolved to defer consideration of application DM/2021/00706 until a re- Planning Minutes Tuesday 17th August 2021 consultation notice was issued by MCC.

    The Old Post Office Abergavenny NP7 8PL £550,000 .0 A SYMPATHETICALLY RESTORED 5/6 BEDROOMED STONE BUILT HOUSE OCCUPYING A CENTRE OF VILLAGE SETTING WITHIN EASY COMMUTING OF ABERGAVENNY, MONMOUTH AND HEREFORD, YET ONLY MINUTES AWAY FROM A WELL REGARDED PRIMARY SCHOOL. Particulars. The village of Cross Ash is located about midway between the two market towns of Abergavenny and Monmouth, both having good shopping facilities, the latter perhaps better known for its public schools. The former has a well used rail link with connection to Newport, Cardiff and Hereford and stations North. While the village retains its historic layout, it does pride itself in a modern primary school which lies a few minutes walk away, which draws its pupils in from quite a wide area. The community is also served by an Inn. The Old Post Office ceased to trade early in this century having commenced about 100 years earlier when it supplied the main essentials to this community and anyone visiting the wheel wrights opposite! Our Client/Vendors purchased the property in 2005/2006 and in about a year later installed uPVC double glazing virtually throughout. Since then they have capped off all the chimneys, have redecorated the house, tidied the outbuildings which according to information passed to our Clients, had at an earlier date Planning Consent to be used as an annex, but which has subsequently expired! The accommodation which is in our opinion well presented is ideal as a multi generation house, or even as a Bed and Breakfast establishment (subject to Planning Consent), it affords the following:- 'THE BREAD OVEN' 15' 8'' x 11' 4'' (4.77m x 3.45m) overall, now used as an Entrance Hall, providing for the storage of coats, footwear etc.
