Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would result in an unacceptable intensification of the use of Mill Lane, a narrow, steep and unlit access with no pedestrian facilities or passing provision, to the detriment of highway and pedestrian safety contrary to the provisions of policies SP3 and SP5 of the Bridgend Replacement Local Development Plan (2024) and advice contained within Planning Policy Wales 12 (Feb. 2024).
  2. The constrained junction with Tondu Road fails to provide adequate visibility, particularly to the north where the submitted drawing applies a 30-mph visibility standard to a section partly within a 50-mph speed-limit zone, to the detriment of highway safety contrary to policies SP3 and SP5 of the Bridgend Replacement Local Development Plan (2024) and advice contained within Planning Policy Wales 12 (Feb. 2024).
  3. The resulting increase in the probability of vehicular and pedestrian conflicts, reversing movements and an overreliance on private transport would be detrimental to highway safety contrary to policies SP3 and SP5 of the Bridgend Replacement Local Development Plan (2024) and advice contained within Planning Policy Wales 12 (Feb. 2024), TAN 18 and the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013.

From the council's decision notice.
