3 Birdwood Gardens Mathern Monmouthshire NP16 6UF
Works: Extension Roofing Domestic
Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
All external building operations include new foundations, external walls, roof structure, roof tiles, fascia/soffits, rainwater goods, and openings. External materials will match the existing dwelling, including Forterra LBC Windsor Facing brickwork, Redland Regent concrete interlocking roof tiles, Rosewood woodgrain fascia/soffits, and black half-round guttering and downpipes. The proposal does not involve the creation or alteration of any access, street, or means of enclosure. Surface water from the extension will be drained via new downpipes connected to the existing surface water/storm drainage system within the property boundary. No new hard-standing is proposed as part of the works.

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 lawful development applications
How this application type works
A lawful development certificate is a legal determination, not a planning judgement. It asks the council to confirm either that existing use or works are lawful, often through the passage of time, or that a proposal would not need planning permission at all. The applicant must prove the facts; the merits of the scheme are not considered.
