RAGLAN residents are being encouraged to have their say about a proposed planning application for residential development in the village at a public engagement event at Raglan Old School Hall, on Tuesday, January 30.

 

The site is located to the west of Chepstow Road and has been allocated for residential development in the council’s adopted Local Development Plan. 

The site is expected to provide 45 houses, together with amenity open space and enhanced financial contribution for community facilities, education provision, and highway improvements in the area. 

Monmouthshire County Council is asking for feedback to guide development of the site, which will cover matters such as access, design layout, pedestrian and vehicle routes including sustainable transport links, open space and green infrastructure.

 

Feedback forms will be available at the event or can be viewed and submitted online at the MCC website.  The deadline for responses is noon on Monday, February 5.  Forms can be submitted by hand at the event, online or emailed to [email protected].

 

Councillor Bob Greenland, Monmouthshire’s cabinet member with responsibility for planning said: “We’re very keen to hear people’s views before this proposed development is submitted for planning permission.”

 

Further information will be provided at the exhibition where members of the council’s project team will be present to discuss the proposals in detail and to answer any questions.
