Bridges Centre Monmouth rent dispute with county council
Though the charity currently pays just £1 a year on the grade II-listed 17th century mansion, where it provides a base for a wide range of community and volunteer activities, the charge is due to increase to £97,000 a year. However while a proposed discount, that will reduce that to £9,700 in the first year of a the new lease and rise to £14,550 a year in the two following years, has been offered the Bridges charity says it has no certainty that will continue and a regular cycle of three year rent reviews, means it fears it could be liable for the full £97,000 annual rent and possibly even more. As a result the charity that describes itself as supporting 'the youth, elderly, isolated, and vulnerable residents of our community' from its Drybridge House base in Monmouth, has launched a petition calling for a 'fair and sustainable rent' that has already had more than 1,200 signatures. The petition can be found here. Monmouthshire County Council, which owns the mansion also known as the Bridges Centre, has issued two statements on the lease negotiations and said it is committed to supporting the charity and accused its trustees of 'introducing unnecessary uncertainty'. The leader of the council's Conservative opposition group, Councillor Richard John, has accused the council of 'megaphone diplomacy'. Ben Ford, the events and marketing manager, said its trustees who attended a meeting with the council 'have no recollection' of the council committing to continue to offer the discount for as long as Drybridge House is being used to support the local community. Mr Ford said: 'At the three year mark the council will subject us to a review and could insist on the full £97,000, or more, being paid. It is that uncertainty which has seen the trustees reluctance to sign the new lease. There is no guarantee we will obtain a similar rent rebate.' As well as providing a base for various community groups Drybridge House is used as a wedding venue, for events and lets out rooms to local businesses with the commercial income used to maintain the historic building with the charity liable for maintenance costs under its existing and the proposed lease. It estimates it spends around £50,000 a year on maintenance. The charity has operated since 1984 and raised £1.6 million from supporters to restore Drybridge House in 2023. Its trustees have said they have welcomed the council's statement the discounted rent will be maintained but said there is no certainty around that. Monmouthshire County Council said: 'The rental support grant the council awards to charitable tenants has to be reviewed every three years but as long as Drybridge House is being used to support the local community, that grant will continue. The live online petition does not acknowledge the commitment the council has made to trustees. A commitment to which the council will hold fast. 'By delaying the signing of the new lease, the trustees, in the council's view, are introducing unnecessary uncertainty into the ongoing success of Bridges. We urge them to accept the beneficial terms being offered.' Cllr John, who represents the nearby Mitchell Troy and Trellech ward, has hit out at the Labour-led council and said: 'I'm disappointed that the council is continuing to use megaphone diplomacy and threatening the trustees of Bridges publicly rather than getting round the table and negotiating a new lease which works for users of Bridges and taxpayers.'

Il Gusto, Abergavenny, wins council illuminated signs row
Council planners had recommended the planning application to keep the two internally illuminated fascia signs that sit either side of the arch doorway entrance to the Il Gusto restaurant be rejected by councillors. But members of the planning committee said they didn't want to refuse the retrospective application, submitted by the restaurant's landlord Peter Woolley, and rejected the recommendation. It is now expected officers will hold talks with Mr Woolley and the restaurant over the signs, the council had previously warned the restaurant it could take enforcement action over which prompted the application. Monmouthshire County Council planning officer Andrew Jones said its heritage officer had recommended refusal due to the impact of the lighting on the Abergavenny Conservation Area and though the Frogmore Street building isn't listed the area is recognised as the town's 'historic core'. Mr Jones acknowledged the only objection to the application, which was supported by 14 members of the public and Abergavenny Town Council, was from the heritage officer but said: 'We fully acknowledge the significant support received but the objection of the heritage officer, given the nature of the application, is quite significant.' He said the heritage officer's views were 'important' when considering impact on the conservation area and said 'weighting should be given to them.' Owen Davies, the agent for the applicant, complained Monmouthshire hasn't issued specific supplementary planning guidance on shopfronts and said: 'We believe this has led to inconsistencies in decisions that have disproportionately affected small independent businesses while granting approval for national chains.' Mr Davies said Il Gusto had adapted the fascia signs used by the previous restaurant when it opened just over a year ago and also sought to replicate the style of the previous Prezzo restaurant. He said the signs are turned off when the restaurant closes at 10pm and also said other signs nearby are made from UPVC and illuminated until the early hours of the morning. Mr Jones said the 2016 conservation area appraisal has provided guidance on design and said the designation is important to businesses and attracts visitors. The council had wanted the restaurant to remove these illuminated fascia signs. Conservative councillor Rachel Buckler described Il Gusto as a 'very good Italian restaurant' and the building as 'very handsome' but said she supported the recommendation for refusal. 'It is inappropriate to the character of the building and something akin to a fast food restaurant in a much more urban setting than a market town in Monmouthshire,' said the Devauden member. Abergavenny Pen y Fal ward Conservative Maureen Powell agreed and said: 'I do feel to light it up is going too far.' Croesonen Labour member Su McConnell said she was 'full of admiration' for the heritage team and it was 'odd' for her to go against its recommendations and highlighted Il Gusto is opposite the Tesco store that is illuminated due to its large windows. After the committee voted to reject the recommendation to refuse the application there was confusion as to whether a further report, recommending approval, would be required, as some councillors had called for the application to be deferred. Council solicitor Joanne Chase said there would be further negotiation with the applicant but planning officer Philip Thomas said: 'If members are minded to approve there is not much point having a negotiation.'

Restaurant gets decision in planning battle to keep controversial signs
Restaurant gets decision in planning battle to keep controversial signs Council planning officials had said the lights were too garish and not in keeping with the quaint town centre Council planning officials had urged committee members to reject the application to keep two internally lit fascia signs positioned on either side of the arched entrance to Il Gusto (Image: Local Democracy Reporting Service) An Italian restaurant in a Welsh market town appears poised to triumph in its fight to retain illuminated signage which the local authority had threatened legal action over in what became a surprisingly controversial planning case. Following previous planning meetings council planning officials had urged Monmouthshire County Council planning committee members to reject the application to keep two internally-lit fascia signs positioned on either side of the arched entrance to Il Gusto restaurant in Abergavenny town centre, stating that the lights were too garish and not in keeping with the quaint town centre. But planning committee members have since indicated they were unwilling to refuse the retrospective application lodged by the restaurant's landlord Peter Woolley and have now dismissed the recommendation. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here . Officers are now anticipated to enter discussions with Mr Woolley and the restaurant regarding the signage over which the council had previously cautioned the establishment about potential enforcement proceedings, prompting the submission. Monmouthshire council planning officer Andrew Jones explained that the heritage officer had advised rejection due to the lighting's effect on the Abergavenny's conservation area. While the Frogmore Street premises isn't listed the location is recognised as the town's "historic core". Mr Jones recognised that the sole objection to the application, which received backing from 14 public supporters and Abergavenny Town Council, came from the heritage officer, stating: "We fully acknowledge the significant support received but the objection of the heritage officer, given the nature of the application, is quite significant." Il Gusto's illuminated signs during the evening (Image: Local Democracy Reporting Service) He emphasised that the heritage officer's opinions were "important" in assessing the impact on the conservation area and mentioned that "weighting should be given to them". Owen Davies, representing the applicant, voiced dissatisfaction with Monmouthshire council for not providing specific supplementary planning guidance on shopfronts and argued: "We believe this has led to inconsistencies in decisions that have disproportionately affected small independent businesses while granting approval for national chains." Mr Davies noted that Il Gusto had modified the fascia signs from the site's previous restaurant when it opened just over a year ago and aimed to mirror the style of the former Prezzo establishment. He pointed out that the signage is switched off at 10pm when the restaurant closes and highlighted that other nearby signs, made from UPVC, remain lit until the early hours. Mr Jones said the 2016 conservation area appraisal has provided guidance on design and said the designation is important to businesses and attracts visitors. Conservative councillor Rachel Buckler praised Il Gusto as a "very good Italian restaurant" and described the building as "very handsome" yet she agreed with the recommendation to refuse permission, stating: "It is inappropriate to the character of the building and something akin to a fast food restaurant in a much more urban setting than a market town in Monmouthshire." Echoing the sentiment Abergavenny Pen y Fal ward Conservative Maureen Powell said: "I do feel to light it up is going too far." Croesonen Labour councillor Su McConnell expressed she was "full of admiration" for the heritage team and found it "odd" to oppose their advice, especially noting that Il Gusto is situated opposite the brightly-lit Tesco store with its expansive windows. Following the committee's decision to dismiss the recommendation to deny the application there was a bit of a muddle over whether a new report endorsing the proposal was necessary as some councillors had suggested postponing the decision. Council solicitor Joanne Chase mentioned that further discussions with the applicant would take place yet planning officer Philip Thomas said: "If members are minded to approve there is not much point having a negotiation."
