Planning and Development
The Society keeps a watching brief on all planning applications within the National Park. For those that are considered significant the Society will provide a statement outlining its position. On major planning issues the Society will be represented at the planning meeting where the issue is to be discussed and will, if necessary, speak.
The Society regularly attends the BBNPA Planning and Rights of Way committee.
Information on BBNPA Planning and Development Control can be found here.

A465 Dualling Section 3 Brynmawr to Tredegar
Elizabeth Gibbs attended the Public Information Exhibition on the outline proposals for Section 2 Gilwern to Brynmawr. There was much less detail available than for Section 3 as they are at an earlier stage in planning this. This meant it was harder to comprehend what they are intending to do, but obviously any input would be more likely to have an effect.
