0/53350 - Listed Building Consent Approved

Proposal

The works at Pont Pengwern are required to address the continued deterioration of the bridge. CCBC requires the strengthening and repair of Pont Pengwern to maintain its structural integrity and to ensure the important road link is maintained. The proposed works constitute repairs and strengthening of the bridge structure together with the installation of scour protection measures within the river channel beneath. The proposed repair methods considered consist of: 1.Vacuum grouting internal structure 2. Installation of Pattress plates 3. Installation of concrete slab and waterproofing layer 4. Take down and rebuild bulging areas of structure 5. Take down and rebuild parapet walls The proposed works have the potential to affect the character of Pont Pengwern and, as a building of special architectural or historic interest, it therefore requires listed building consent under the terms of the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2016 Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 4

1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: Pont Pengwern, Grade II, about 3 m from the postcode pin
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
Historic England ↗
Ancient woodland about 1 m away: Restored Ancient Woodland Site
Inside the 15 m buffer standing advice asks for from the boundary.
National policy refuses development that would cause loss or deterioration of ancient woodland or ancient trees unless there are wholly exceptional reasons.
Agricultural land, grade 3b
Not best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. A site survey can differ.
Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
