Why it was refused

  1. The proposal, by reason of its countryside location, constitutes an unjustified and undesirable extension of urban development outside any settlement boundary and would be prejudicial to the character of the area and would not form a use which is acceptable within the countryside. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies SP3, SP17 and DNP1 of the Replacement Local Development Plan (2024) and advice contained within Planning Policy Wales 12 (Feb. 2024) and Future Wales – the National Plan 2040 (Feb. 2021).
  2. No information on rural enterprise grounds has been provided to justify a departure from the policies of the Local Planning Authority as expressed in Reason 1 above, contrary to Policy DNP1 of the Bridgend Replacement Local Development Plan (2024) and advice contained within Technical Advice Note 6: Planning for Sustainable Rural Communities and Planning Policy Wales 12 (Feb. 2024).
  3. Insufficient ecological information has been submitted; including a Shadow Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA), a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA) and an Ecological Impacts Assessment (EcIA) to enable the LPA to assess the proposal’s impacts on the nearby SAC, SSSI, NNR and LNR contrary to Policies DNP4, DNP5 and DNP6 of the Bridgend Replacement Local Development Plan (2024) and advice contained within Planning Policy Wales 12 (Feb. 2024), Technical Advice Note 5: Nature Conservation and Planning and Part 1 Section 6 of the Environment (Wales) Act 2016.
  4. Insufficient information has been provided to enable the Local Planning Authority to assess the pedestrian and highway safety impacts of the proposed development contrary to Policies SP3, SP5 and PLA12 of the Bridgend Replacement Local Development Plan (2024) and advice contained within Planning Policy Wales 12 (Feb. 2024) and Future Wales - The National Plan 2040 (Feb. 2024).
