Erection of a trellis above an existing fence which will increase the height of the structure to a maximum height of 3.7 metres measured from the base of the existing fence. The trellis will be attached to the existing fence. There is no highway in the vicinity.The trellis is required to enhance the outlook from 4 Badgers Dene and provide an improved, permanent and effective screen between 4 Badgers Dene and the properties to the rear (that is, 9 and 11 Fitzosborn Close).The applicant has been advised prior to this submission, through contact with Officers at Monmouthshire County Council (the Planning Advice Officer by telephone and the Tree Officer by e-mail), that there are no planning implications or restrictions in terms of pruning a domestic leylandii hedge, and so this is not explicitly considered by the applicant as being part of this planning application. The Trees and Hedge' Section of the forms has therefore been ticked 'no'. The pre submission advice was informal and general in terms of the non-relevance of the existence of such a hedge to an application to erect a fence or trellis beyond 2 metres, and so the advisers details have not been recorded in the relevant 'Advice Section' of the forms, which is assumed as reserved for formal purchased pre-application advice.A photograph of the current situation and a potential impression (indicative only) of the intended result is attached as an uploaded document. Plans that show the location and the boundary impacted by the application are also attached.
