Why it was refused

  1. The car park where the food and drink van/ trailer is proposed to be located is confined and the provision of a catering van on the site would take up already limited parking spaces leading to on-road parking to the detriment of highway safety, and would lead to a lack of space for safe manoeuvring within the park which is an area well-used by walkers and their pets, contrary to Monmouthshire Local Development Plan Policy DES1 a), that seeks to ensure that developments provide a safe, secure, pleasant and convenient environment.
