Planning application
The Old Chapel Twyn Square Usk Monmouthshire NP15 1BH
Refused. Only the applicant can appeal, within the statutory time limit, and a revised scheme can be submitted instead.
Proposal
Change of use of the existing building from office use (Use Class B1) to a day nursery (Use Class D1). The proposal involves internal alterations only, with no external alterations. The nursery would operate primarily on weekdays, with occasional weekend use of the building for classes not involving day care. There would be no evening or late-night use, and activity would be limited to drop-off and pick-up at the start and end of sessions. There are no existing on-site vehicle parking or cycle parking spaces associated with the building. The proposal does not include the provision of on-site parking or cycle spaces. Staff will use nearby public parking facilities, and parent drop-off and pick-up will be short-stay and managed to minimise impact on surrounding streets.
