All rights reserved Licence No. 100055084 Commentary: View from POS on high ground overlooking the largely retained agricultural field (only the bottom section is proposed for development). Much of the proposed development in the northern portion of the site will not be visible because of the existing hedgerow, which would be reinforced with further planting, and the falling topography in that direction.

OF FRAMES ELECTRONICALLY STITCHED TOGETHER 5 AJA/07 DATE OF PHOTOGRAPH 18.02.16 Commentary: The recent Grange development is prominent in this view. Lower fields to the east of the Grange are within the site but ,apart from an access road, would have no housing and would form part of the site open space network. Dotted line shows approximate limits of built development as seen from this viewpoint. Bayfields will seen as an extension of the built edge of Chepstow and not as an isolated new development.

The edge of Chepstow can be seen in the distance along with the retained field above the proposed housing. Almost none of the development would be visible from this direction. The existing solar farm is a prominent feature in the middle ground and distracts the eye from the longer views towards Chepstow.

The proposed development areas will be almost invisible from here due to the enclosing woodland and separation distance. (It should be noted that this is a similar direction of view to that of Itton Court and visual effects on the setting of this Listed Building are likely to be similar.)

The great majority of proposed development areas will be invisible from here due to the enclosing woodland and separation distance . A small area of the development in the north eastern part of the site will be seen against a backdrop of the existing built edge of Chep- stow.

The Site area is a small distant element in this wide panoramic view; the Racecourse buildings, at a similar range and in the same sector of view, are much more visible and draw the eye. A narrow band of housing would be barely visible above the existing Grange development and at this separation distance and in the context of the built edge of Chepstow, any visual effects would be negligible.
