A group fighting the controversial 'eyesore on the Parrog' Bettws Newydd building is furious that a new application will be considered.

The Bettws Newydd Opposition Group said the new application "is nothing more than a re-submission involving somewhat different landscaping plans."

A spokesman added: "It has already been decided by the Development Management Committee that this building, as constructed, breaches planning policies in many respects. Nothing in this application changes that."

The spokesman added: "We are effectively back to where we were last year. We cannot see why officers have allowed this - effectively a 're-run' of last year's application.

"We think that this is a waste of public funds and time."

Comments about the new application must be made in writing to the national park authority by February 25th.
