PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF LAND NORTH OF HILLGROVE AVENUE

COMMUNITY DROP-IN EVENT – UPDATED INFORMATION

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU

Planning Aid Wales has been commissioned to support community engagement on the proposed development of land north of Hillgrove Avenue, Mardy.

Planning Aid Wales is a registered charity that supports communities to understand planning proposals and to have their views heard. We will be acting independently and impartially to facilitate this engagement.

Bron Afon Housing Association, a not-for-profit registered social landlord, is exploring the opportunity to provide affordable housing on this site.

Community Drop-in Event Thursday 29 January 2026, 6.00pm – 8.00pm

Llantilio Pertholey C V Primary School
Hillgrove Avenue, Mardy, Abergavenny NP7 6LZ

Bron Afon have confirmed that the proposed development is not yet ready to begin the formal Pre-Application Consultation. However, based on feedback from the community this event will go ahead and provide as much information as is available at this stage. This event will provide an opportunity to:

• View emerging information about the proposal, including initial plans, the indicative scale and mix of homes;
• see a summary of community feedback received to date and understand how those issues are being considered;
• speak directly with representatives of Bron Afon and their professional team and ask questions and share views on the proposal at this stage.

Planning Aid Wales will be present to independently facilitate discussions, ensure views are captured accurately, and report feedback to Bron Afon to inform the ongoing development of the scheme.

This remains an early-stage event. Further opportunities to comment will be available at the formal Pre-Application Consultation (PAC) stage, once final detailed proposals are published.

Please feel free to drop in at any time during the session. For further information, please contact:

Please share this information with neighbours and others who may be interested.

Welsh Government have provided additional grant support to Planning Aid Wales to help communities understand and engage with the new Infrastructure planning regime that came into force on 15th December.
