Portskewett bungalow refused on road safety grounds
Craig Senior was refused planning permission for the bungalow which would have been built on land at the back of number 65 Main Road, Portskewett. He appealed to Welsh planning body Planning and Environment Decisions Wales which sent independent inspector Anthony Thickett to view the narrow track that was proposed as an access from Main Road to the bungalow. He concluded Monmouthshire County Council was right to refuse planning permission and wrote in his report: 'I note the site is within walking distance of a number of facilities but the proposed development would inevitably lead to an increase in the use of an access which is substandard with regards to its width and visibility to Main Road. 'For these reasons, I conclude that the proposed development would have an adverse impact on highway safety.' Mr Thickett said the track already serves nine properties, including number 65, and a field though four properties have drives on to main road and he thought a further off street parking space has been created but said: 'From my observations, the occupiers of at least five properties (not counting No. 65) actively use the track to access garages and parking spaces to the rear of the houses.' He described its visibility at the access to Main Road as 'poor in both directions' with a wall and telegraph pole to the east and a wall to the west while a line of parked cars either side of the track 'limited visibility even further'. READ MORE: Extension for Portskewett shop approved by councillors As the track isn't wide enough for vehicles to enter and exit at the same time Mr Thickett said drivers waiting to turn in would restrict the 'free flow' of traffic on Main Road and stated: 'Drivers approaching the track would have little warning of vehicles exiting the track and vice versa.' He also said vehicles turning left, from the track, to pass a vehicle waiting to enter the track, would have to cross on to the wrong side of the road, due to the line of parked cars. Mr Thickett also said he didn't believe widening the track to provide a footway would overcome the poor visibility to Main Road.

Restaurant threatened with £2,500 fine in row over its signs
Restaurant threatened with £2,500 fine in row over its signs Il Gusto restaurant in Abergavenny has been threatened with enforcement action over the two internally-illuminated signs that have been in place for more than three years Il Gusto's signs illuminated at night on the popular Frogmore Street in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire (Image: Local Democracy Reporting Service ) A family-owned Italian restaurant could be forced to remove its illuminated signs and may face a hefty £2,500 fine in a row over lighting. Il Gusto in Frogmore Street in Abergavenny was told its bright signs on the restaurant's front are not in keeping with the conservation area. Last month it emerged the restaurant had been embroiled in a legal row with Monmouthshire County Council over the signage after the local authority told the building's owner Peter Woolley it would have no choice but to seek prosecution at magistrates' court should action not be taken to alter the signage. Bemused Mr Woolley has claimed in an interview with the local newspaper the Abergavenny Chronicle: "The attack on my tenants is based solely on a subjective opinion." He pointed to there being no fixed rule on what constitutes lighting which is not in keeping while other restaurants and stores in the town use similar lighting at the front of their premises. The legislation enforced by the local planning authority states: 'Signage should not unacceptably detract from the character or appearance of the area and would not result in undue visual clutter.' The owner of the building said he is baffled by what has happened (Image: Local Democracy Reporting Service ) Article continues below Il Gusto has now submitted an application to retain the two internally-lit fascia signs flanking its arched entrance. Mr Woolley said he has sought retrospective planning permission to keep the signs which have been in place for more than three years and were initially used by former tenants Amos and later adapted for Il Gusto. Mr Woolley's planning document highlights the "extensive illuminated frontage" of the Tesco store opposite Il Gusto in Frogmore Street. The supermarket's lighting was lauded as "a clear example of development that contributes significantly to the overall illumination level and modern visual character" of the town's conservation area in a 2016 appraisal by the planning department. The statement further clarifies that Il Gusto aimed to "closely reflect" the previously approved colour scheme used by the nearby Prezzo restaurant. They chose black UPVC panels with "discreet" white backlit lettering and the signs are only lit until the restaurant's closing time at 10pm. "These examples demonstrate that lighting is an accepted and established element within the conservation area's character. In this context the modest and discreet illumination of Il Gusto's signage is entirely in keeping with its surroundings and does not detract from the area's character or heritage value," the statement reads. Article continues below "Enforcing action against an independent restaurant for using illuminated signs – when similar signs by national brands have been allowed – raises serious concerns about fairness and consistency. It risks sending the wrong message that local independents aren't being treated equally." A spokesman for the council said last month: 'The local planning authority are collaborating with the owners to address the unauthorised signage to ensure the special character of the conservation area is protected.'
