DM/2026/00701 - Householder Approved

Proposal

This unlisted cottage needs reroofing as it currently leaks and the current concrete tiles are cracked and the cement attached is broken and missing. We wish to replace the roof removing and reinstalling the solar panels. Reroofing with a composite slate more in keeping with the original roofing. We wish to install 2 skylights using low emissivity (Low E) materials reducing light overspill by 62-72% as we are in a dark skies area. Data via plota.co.uk

Site constraints 5

Wye Valley National Landscape

Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.

Agricultural land, grade 5

Very poor quality farmland, not best and most versatile. 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.

SSSI 97 m away: Barbadoes Hill Meadows

Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.

Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.

Also on the record

Radon affected area, class 4; Special area of conservation 438 m away: River Wye / Afon Gwy (Wales).

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site
