Planners rejected an application in 2020 to build two new detached homes in front of Fordell House which was built on Stoney Road in Garndiffaith, Pontypool after planning permission was granted in 2010.

“Our design has been kept simple, using a limited palette of colours and choice of materials, albeit that these are in keeping with the traditional character of the area.”
Vehicle access to Stoney Road will be retained and the new bungalow will have three off-road parking spaces.
