Why it was refused

  1. It has not been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Local Planning Authority that the track is reasonably required for agriculture. Therefore the development fails to meet the requirement of criteria (a) of Policy RE4 of the Adopted Monmouthshire Local Development Plan.
  2. Retention of the track would result would result in new built development in the open countryside which is not justified under national planning policy or any other Local Development Plan Policy (including RE4 referred to above). Therefore the development is contrary to Policy LC1 of the Adopted Monmouthshire Local Development Plan.
  3. Flood risk maps provided by Natural Resources Wales indicate the site to be at flood risk from surface water. The application has not suitably demonstrated how the works will not impact flood risk on the site and is therefore contrary to the provisions of Policy SD3 of the Adopted Monmouthshire Local Plan.
