Harrow Estates amended planning application for the development of 212 houses on the site of the Sudbrook Paper Mill near Portskewett in South Wales has been recommended for refusal by Monmouthshire Council. Access issues, concerns about the potentially negative impact on the area’s services and apprehension regarding the limited number of homes designated as affordable housing, which amounted to 20 out of the 212 homes, were cited as the main reasons for refusal. The council’s housing register shows that 500 households currently require accommodation within the Portskewett area, many of whom are on low incomes and cannot afford to buy property on the open market. The application will go to the planning committee at Monmouthshire Council.
