Controversial plans for a new village shop have been approved in Magor - 21 years after the original application. The site is currently home to Magor Motors, but plans will see it become the largest food store in Magor.
Business owner Rod Morgan originally applied for the retail development back in 2001, and a number of subsequent planning applications have been refused. Now, the development has been given the green light subject to a number of conditions.
The site has been a topic of much conversation in the Monmouthshire village, with dozens of comments for and against the proposals. Many people in the village are concerned over problems with traffic and the effect on other local businesses, while others think the development will be a good thing for the area.
