Why it was refused

  1. The proposed outbuilding, by reason of its design, siting forward of the established building line and its excessive height and scale, would appear visually prominent and out of proportion with the host dwelling, particularly given the sloping nature of the site. The development would result in an overly incongruous and visually intrusive addition that fails to reflect the established pattern of development and would detract from the character and appearance of the street scene and wider locality, contrary to Policy SP3 of the Bridgend Replacement Local Development Plan (2024), Supplementary Planning Guidance 02 – Householder Development and advice contained within Planning Policy Wales 12 (Feb. 2024).

From the council's decision notice.
