Monmouth, Monmouthshire, NP25

The land is situated within the settlement development boundary of Monmouth, and runs parallel with St Thomas Road, with access via St Thomas Road & Ash Lane. The site is proposed for release of the ‘Area of Amenity Importance’ designation, that has previously sterilised development on this land, within the Deposit Replacement Local Development Plan (RLDP) for Monmouthshire. The site is in private ownership and has not been used for any public amenity or recreational uses, hence a successful case has been presented for the release of the designation in the proposed RLDP.

Powells are instructed to invite offers for the sale of the site from developers on a conditional ‘Subject to Planning’ basis with the successful developer pursuing residential or commercial planning consent upon the site prior to completion.
