LLandegfedd reservoir conditions to be decided by council
Elizabeth Pengelly has asked for permission to use the 'empty residential land' for tourism with camping or glamping as well as build washing facilities for those staying and upgrade a shelter currently used for the South American animals.
Two shepherd huts are already on site at Parc Llettis Road, Hardwick, between Abergavenny and Raglan, while a further two would be added as well as four bell tents.
More than five objections have been lodged against the plan but Monmouthsire councillors are recommended to approve it.
The committee is also also being advised by planning officers to approve revised conditions governing the use of the Watersport Centre at Llandegfedd Reservoir.
The revised wording has been agreed with Welsh Water but local residents have objected and councillors requested a decision be made by the committee.
The water firm wants to be able to use the centre for internal meetings, staff training, and external business meetings but the condition will state it won't be available as a licensed premises for use by the general public.
Operating hours will also be extended by one hour in the morning, so it can be used from 8am.
Monmouthshire County Council's planning committee meets at 2pm on Tuesday, July 1 when it will also consider a patio built on agricultural land without the correct planning permission.
The retrospective application, from Gavin Gerrish, to keep the patio and a retaining wall, and to allow the change of use from agricultural to residential curtilage for 360 square metres of land at his Ty'r Berllan home at Llangwm is going before councillors due to the number of objections received.
Permission was previously granted for the patio and retaining wall but they weren't built to the approved plans.
