Planning application

Chain Bridge Situated On B4598 Abergavenny To Usk Road Kemeys Road Chainbridge Monmouthshire NP15 1PP

Awaiting decision Monmouthshire DM/2026/00897 Listed Building Consent Heritage

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Refurbishment works that include a comprehensive replacement and repair plan for several key structural elements of the bridge. This includes the replacement of all hangars and cross girders. Removing tensioning bars previously installed to strengthen hangars. Localised repairs to the steel troughing and cross bracing, with replacement of elements on a like-for-like basis where required. All existing paint to steelwork will be removed, and all steel elements are to be repainted to match the existing colour and finish. Proposed works also include resurfacing the existing carriageway and footways. A revised footway arrangement is proposed, including widening to approximately 1.94m while maintaining the current carriageway width, removal of temporary barriers, installation of new trief kerbs, and improvements to drainage, together with associated service diversions.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Monmouthshire for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About heritage and listed buildings applications

How this application type works

Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.
