Why it was refused
- The development does not incorporate any Green Infrastructure or Biodiversity Enhancements into the scheme. It has not been demonstrated that unavoidable harm to ecology has been minimised or that the provision for compensatory habitats have been provided. This is contrary to the advice set out in Chapter 6 of PPW 6 and policies NE1 and G1 of the adopted Local Plan.
- The LPA is unable to make an informed decision on the application as insufficient information has been submitted with regards to: There is Insufficient information provided to ensure that there is safe vehicular access into the site or that there is sufficient turning and parking provision within the site the proposal is therefore contrary to the objectives of policy MV1 of the LDP The Flood Map for Planning identifies the application site to be at risk of flooding and is within Flood Zone 2 and 3 (Sea) , the Lead Flood Authority and NRW are unable to assess the proposal as no Flood Consequences Assessment has been provided in accordance with the advice contained within Technical Advice Note (TAN) 15: development, flooding and coastal erosion. It has not been demonstrated that the risk flooding on the site can be managed or that it will not increase flooding elsewhere therefor the objectives of policy SD3 of the LDP and the advice in TAN 15 have not been complied with. The applicants have not engaged with Welsh Water regarding the position on the fence in relation to the required protection zone of the distributor watermain crossing the site. The applicants have not demonstrated that NRW would approve a surface water connection to the Neddern Brook which is contrary to policy SD3 of the LDP as it has not been demonstrated that nature conservation interests of the water source corridor have been protected or enhanced. 3of7 Polisïau Cynllun Datblygu Lleol Sir Fynwy Monmouthshire Local Development Plan Policies :- S8 LDP Enterprise and Economy S9 LDP Employment Sites Provision S12 LDP Efficient Resource Use and Flood Risk S13 LDP Landscape, Green Infrastructure and the Natural Environment S16 LDP Transport S17 LDP Place Making and Design E1 LDP Protection of Existing Employment SAE2 LDP Protected Employment Sites SD3 LDP Flood Risk SD4 LDP Sustainable Drainage GI1 LDP Green Infrastructure NE1 LDP Nature Conservation and Development EP1 LDP Amenity and Environmental Protection MV1 LDP Proposed Developments and Highway Considerations DES1 LDP General Design Considerations Y Cynlluniau a gwrthodwyd gyda'r caniatâd hwn yw: The Plans refused with this permission are: Cyfeirnod Cynllun /Plan Ref No. Fersiwn Rhif/Version No. Site Layout - 2114-A1-02 Proposed Site Layout Location Plan - Design and Access Statement - 2114Rev 0 0 Green Infrastructure Appraisal/Statement - All Existing Plans - 2114-A1-01 Existing Site Layout 4of7 Os ydych wedi eich tramgwyddo gan benderfyniad yr Awdurdod Cynllunio Lleol i wrthod caniatâd cynllunio, yna gallwch apelio at Lywodraeth Cymru yn unol ag Adran 78 Deddf Cynllunio Tref a Gwlad 1990. Os ydych eisiau apelio, yna mae'n rhaid i chi wneud hynny o fewn chwe mis o ddyddiad yr hysbysiad hwn yn defnyddio ffurflen sydd ar gael gan yr PEDW, Parc Cathays, Caerdydd CF10 3NQ. Fodd bynnag, os yw'r datblygiad yn ddeiliad tŷ neu ddatblygiad masnachol bach, y cyfnod apêl yw 12 wythnos. Gall Llywodraeth Cymru ganiatáu cyfnod hirach ar gyfer rhoi hysbysiad apêl ond ni fydd fel arfer yn barod i ddefnyddio'r pŵer yma os nad oes amgylchiadau arbennig sy'n esgusodi'r oedi wrth roi hysbysiad o'r apêl. Nid yw'n rhaid i Lywodraeth Cymru ystyried apêl os yw'n ymddangos na allai'r Awdurdod Cynllunio Lleol fod wedi rhoi caniatâd cynllunio gan roi ystyriaeth i ofynion statudol, darpariaethau'r gorchymyn datblygu ac unrhyw gyfarwyddiadau a roddwyd dan y gorchymyn. Yn ymarferol nid yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwrthod ystyried apeliadau yn unig oherwydd bod yr Awdurdod Cynllunio Lleol wedi seilio eu penderfyniad ar gyfarwyddyd a roddwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Mae dewis o 3 gweithdrefn apêl. Caiff Arolygydd ei benodi i benderfynu ar yr apêl ym mhob achos. Sylwadau Ysgrifenedig - yr ydych chi a'r awdurdod cynllunio lleol yn gwneud datganiadau ysgrifenedig i gael eu hystyried gan yr Arolygydd. Gwrandawiad Anffurfiol - caiff datganiadau ysgrifenedig eu paratoi fel uchod ond mae pob parti yn ymddangos mewn person gerbron yr Ar
