A number of planning applications across Monmouthshire have recently had decisions made on them.

Here are the latest decisions that were made between August 22-28, 2024.

Bakehouse repairs

Urgent repairs to the structure of a former bakehouse on Winston Court, Winston Court Road, Llanvetherine were green-lighted.

The approval relates to two related applications to convert barns A and B into dwellings.

Importantly, there are seven conditions attached including "any new or reconstructed stonework or brickwork shall match the existing historic adjacent, in all respects, including coursing, bed, perp, colour, thickness and type."

Extension

In Llantilio Crossenny, planning approval was granted for the demolition of an existing single-storey extension and the introduction of a new two-story extension at Park Cottage.

The permission came with conditions around biodiversity enhancements.

Sleeping accommodation

In Gobion Fawr, an application for on-site sleeping accommodations for staff supporting animals at Dan Y Derwen Stables was withdrawn.

Boundary line

A planning permission application to redefine the boundary line for Ty Mawr Convent in Trellech got the go-ahead to include an existing gate and new access.

Ash trees The green light was given to remove three large Ash trees suffering from Ash dieback in the conservation area at New Mills House. The trees were considered to pose a danger as they are located near the highway.

Two bay extension

A two-bay extension for an agricultural building supporting a poultry farm at The Paddocks in Goytre was approved.
