Why it was refused
- The roof change proposed would not preserve or enhance the listed building and group, its setting and features of special architectural or historic and evidential interest which it possesses, for either current or future generations, by its use of banks of raised, roof mounted, highly-engineered, glazed and framed panels, in place of traditionally, tightly coursed, slated roofing, in keeping with the wider group in a prominent location, considered part of the special interest, contrary to Well-Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, Planning Policy Wales ed. 12, TAN 24 – The Historic Environment, Managing Change Guidance, Conservation Principles 2011.
- That the applicant has failed to demonstrate a compelling justification for the need to use roof mounted panels by establishing: - a. the changes are demonstrably necessary either to make that asset sustainable, or to meet an overriding public policy objective or need; and b. there is no reasonably practicable alternative means of doing so without harm; and c. that harm has been reduced to the minimum consistent with achieving the objective; and d. it has been demonstrated that the predicted benefit decisively outweighs the harm to the values of the asset, considering • its comparative significance; • the impact on that significance; and • the benefits to the asset itself and/or the wider community or society as a whole Polisïau Cynllun Datblygu Lleol Sir Fynwy Monmouthshire Local Development Plan Policies :- 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 LOCATION AND BLOCK PLAN MPD-A-000 EXISTING ROOF LAYOUT PROPOSED ROOF LAYOUT EXISTING & PROPOSED FRONT ELEVATION 2of4 Os ydych wedi eich tramgwyddo gan benderfyniad yr Awdurdod Cynllunio Lleol i wrthod Caniatâd Adeilad Rhestredig neu Ganiatâd Ardal Cadwraeth ar gyfer y gwaith arfaethedig, gallwch apelio i Lywodraeth Cymru yn unol ag Adran 100(1), 100(2), 101(1), 101(3), 101(5) o Deddf yr Amgylchedd Hanesyddol (Cymru) 2023. Rhaid gwneud apeliadau ar ffurflen sydd ar gael gan yr PEDW, Parc Cathays, Caerdydd CF10 3NQ, o fewn chwe mis o dderbyn yr hysbysiad hwn. Os gwrthodir Caniatâd Adeilad Rhestredig neu Ganiatâd Ardal Cadwraeth p'un ai gan yr Awdurdod Cynllunio Lleol neu gan Lywodraeth Cymru, a bod perchennog y tir yn hawlio na ellir gwneud defnydd rhesymol fuddiol o'r tir yn ei gyflwr presennol ac na ellir ei wneud i fodd y gellid gwneud defnydd rhesymol fuddiol ohono drwy wneud unrhyw weithiau sydd wedi neu a fyddai'n cael eu caniatáu, gall weini hysbysiad prynu i'r Gyngor yr Ardal lle mae'r tir o fewn darpariaethau Adran 109 o Deddf yr Amgylchedd Hanesyddol (Cymru) 2023.

Caiff yr amgylchiadau lle mae iawndal o'r fath yn daladwy eu nodi yn Adran 204 o Deddf yr Amgylchedd Hanesyddol (Cymru) 2023. 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. 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.
