Middle Lodge Itton Road Itton Monmouthshire NP16 6BP

Proposal

Application Reference Number: DM/2021/00903 Date of Decision: 03/09/2021 Condition Number(s): 1 Conditions(s) Removal: The applicants purchased Middle Lodge on 3 September 2021, the day the permission was granted. The property was uninhabitable at acquisition, which the Council recognised by awarding a Class A2 council tax exemption in November 2021. The implementation period has necessarily been spent repairing the existing building under Building Notice BN/2022/00207, and the Council issued its Building Regulations completion certificate in April 2025. The approved development has not been begun and the approved scheme is unchanged; further time is sought in which to implement it. The Council has granted comparable variations of condition 1, most recently DM/2025/00380 at 24 Mount Way, Chepstow, approved 22 January 2026. Full reasons are set out in the accompanying supporting statement, reference MLI/S73/2026/01. The applicants request that condition 1 be varied to allow a period of five years from the date of the decision on this application. Suggested wording: "The development to which this permission relates shall be begun not later than the expiration of five years beginning with the date of this permission." No other change is sought, and the applicants raise no objection to conditions 2 to 7 being reimposed.
