Monmouthshire Sites Site CS/0076 Settlement: Chepstow Summary Key characteristics Gently indented rural hillside away from the settlement rising from south west to north east of pastures with woodland copses and belts in places, some mixed. Bounded by A48[T] and minor roads. Longer views are possible to the south west towards the valley of Mounton Brook. The southern part of the area forms an important rural approach to the settlement from the A48[T]. The area acts as a green gap between Chepstow and Mounton and Pwllmeyric. Landscape sensitivity High/medium The area has high/medium sensitivity as it forms a positive rural approach to the settlement from the west along the A48[T] including part in the Wyelands Conservation Area, has intrinsic qualities as a rural pastoral landscape with woodland and also has views to the south west. It also separates the settlement from Mounton and its Conservation Area and Pwllmeyric. Housing capacity Low The area has low capacity for housing due to its location away from the settlement edge, the positive approach along the A48[T] from the west, including part in the Wyelands Conservation Area, the intrinsic qualities of the pastoral landscape open to views from the south west, the need to retain a gap between the settlement edge and Mounton and Pwllmeyric and the proximity of the area to the AONB.

Pastures with a mix of low cut and outgrown hedgerows enclosed by strong woodland cover at a lower level to the west [Area C4]. Public footpath on western boundary. Longer views are possible to the south west towards the valley of Mounton Brook. The northern part of the area forms part of an important and positive rural approach to the settlement from the north along the A446, complementing Chepstow racecourse gates and entrance which are listed. The settlement edge consists of housing estates to the south and east with some commercial properties to the north. The site bounds the Wye Valley AONB to the west. Landscape sensitivity High/medium The area has high/medium sensitivity as it is on a ridge with views to the west and has intrinsic qualities as an exposed hillside rural pastoral landscape enclosed by woodland to the west and of benefit to adjacent residents. The northern part is in views from the A446 approach from the north and the site lies directly adjacent to the Wye Valley AONB. Housing capacity Medium/low The area has medium/low capacity for housing due its role to the positive settlement approach from the north, the intrinsic qualities of the exposed hillside pastoral landscape and the location of the area directly adjacent to the AONB. Any development should avoid the most prominent parts of the site and retain generous open space for the existing settlement dwellers linking into the wider landscape.

The site is a combination of sheds, hardstandings and disused river frontage of apparently filled remnant docks with overgrown vegetation and a wharf. The river frontage is on a gentle tidal meander with mud banks and a river cliff opposite. Directly to north and west is the Newport to Gloucester railway and beyond that is a Conservation Area with listed buildings. A listed building lies within the site to the west. The site is overlooked by the busy A48 on a bridge and viaduct beyond the railway to the north which exposes it to view and noise as well as from the housing at Sedbury to the east. Landscape sensitivity Medium/low The site is sensitive in terms of its location on the River Wye, adjacent to a Conservation Area and exposed to view from the A48. Intrinsically, it has some sensitivity also in relation to the river frontage with the disused docks and wharf which are likely to have some historical significance to the town. Housing capacity High/medium The site has high/medium capacity for housing as it is within the current settlement boundary close to to commercial and residential areas and the current use is somewhat of a detractor in a prominent location. Any development should reflect and respond to the scale and character of the Chepstow townscape including listed buildings and should create a coherent , permeable streetscape. It should also address the River Wye frontage in a positive way to an appropriate scale suitable for Chepstow and facilitate public access along the bank linking into public rights of way.

The quarry floor is overgrown with scrub and has an enclosed character. The floor is only accessed from the north east from another derelict site [CS/0158] beneath the railway. The site is is discreet with few views in and is physically isolated from the rest of the town. Landscape sensitivity High/medium The site is high/medium sensitivity as it is an abandoned and inaccessible vegetated quarry. There is intrinsic value in the exposed rock faces and associated vegetation. Housing capacity Medium/low The quarry is unlikely to be suitable for housing due to its inaccessibility, enclosed character and lack of connection with the rest of the settlement as well as its orientation north and east. Any development would only be associated with the site to the north [CS/0158]. It may be most suitable as informal open space or for small scale comercial purposes providing access issues could be resolved.

Acknowledgements WelTAG Stage 1 Report, Outline Business Case - 2 - November 2019 1. Purpose of Document There is a significant problem in Monmouth regarding traffic, especially pedestrians and cycle traffic, around the existing crossing of the River Wye at the junction of the A40, A466 and A4136. We believe that these problems are serious and warrant action by the various authorities who are responsible for traffic movement in Monmouth; including the Welsh Government, Monmouthshire County Council and Monmouth Town Council. Plate 1 - Artists impression of one potential solution for Pedestrians and Cycles crossing the Wye The current crossing creates a dangerous environment for all pedestrians and cyclists plus anyone with mobility restrictions including wheelchair and mobility scooter users, many of whom avoid the current crossing due to the restrictions created by the existing footpaths and the dangers created by vehicles on the bridge.
