Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development is at variance with advice contained in Planning Policy Wales 12 and Policies SP5 and DNP2 of the Bridgend Replacement Local Development Plan (2024) regarding sustainability in that it is in a remote location that is not accessible by a range of different transport modes and will rely on the use of private motor vehicles.
  2. The proposed alterations to the agricultural building, by reason of their design, form, scale and materials, represents a major remodelling of a rural building in the open countryside that is not subordinate to, or in keeping with, the original building and does not enhance its rural character and is therefore contrary to Policies SP3 and DNP1 of the Bridgend Replacement Local Development Plan (2024) and advice contained within Planning Policy Wales 12 (Feb. 2024).
  3. The narrow access road leading to the site is not suitable to serve the proposed residential development in terms of its constrained width when passing opposing traffic, limited forward visibility, and lack of lighting together with the absence of segregated footways. The development will generate increased traffic onto this route resulting in a potential increase in vehicular and pedestrian/vehicle conflict to the detriment of the safety and free flow of traffic contrary to Policies SP5, PLA12 and DNP2 of the Bridgend Replacement Local Development Plan (2024).
  4. Insufficient evidence has been submitted to indicate that other suitable rural or business uses have been considered including any exercise evidencing that the building has been marketed for other alternative uses (over a minimum period of 12 months). As such the proposal is contrary to Policy DNP2 of the Bridgend Replacement Local Development Plan (2024).
