Ursula Crouch was granted outline planning permission for a single bungalow in the village of Llandegfedd in the Monmouthshire countryside east of Cwmbran.
Independent Cllr Bryn, who represents Wyesham, said: “Can I raise the spelling as Llandegveth on this?
It’s not an official spelling, for anyone searching Llandegfedd on the planning website this wouldn’t come up, it’s not a standardised spelling.”
The spelling was listed as part of the application on the agenda of the August planning committee while the planning officer’s report used the Welsh spelling.
Llangybi Fawr Conservative councillor Fay Bromfield, whose ward includes Llandegfedd, had asked for assurances amenity and drainage had been considered.
