AN APPLICATION for two four-bedroom detached homes is to go before county planners, more than two years after outline planning permission was approved on the site.

Outline planning permission for the two houses on land at Oakdale Road in Monmouth was approved by Monmouthshire County Council (MCC) in 2015, and the development will now go before the council’s planning committee to decide its fate.

The application, which is recommended approval by MCC case officer Craig O’Connor, is for two detached four-bedroom houses to the rear of Pen-y-Bryn, off Hereford Road.

It is proposed the houses will sit together on the site in a walled garden.

A new stone wall will be built from the existing boundary wall to sub-divide the plots, with the existing boundary fences maintained.

However, the plans received objections from a number of residents and was recommended refusal by Monmouth Town Council.

The town council claim the revised plans would be an invasion of privacy for neighbours, and say the application contravenes the outline permission as that included a condition that the bushes and trees would remain.

The council also highlighted that the outline permission did not have windows looking into neighbours property.

There are, however, no objections from MCC Highways or the council’s tree officer Jim Keech.

The application will be decided at the council’s planning meeting on Tuesday (6th February).
