Why it was refused

  1. In the absence of a Tree Survey and Arboricultural Impact Assessment it is not possible to fully consider the impact of the proposed development on the trees in the Ancient Semi Natural Woodland adjacent to the site. As such, the proposal is contrary to Policy CW6 of the adopted Caerphilly County Borough Local Development Plan up to 2021.
  2. Whilst the proposed materials may be appropriate in an agricultural context outside of settlement boundaries, the proposal would serve to introduce an overly utilitarian form of development within a domestic rural setting, appearing discordant with the character of the incumbent dwelling. Therefore, the development would not exhibit a high quality of design that reinforces attractive qualities of local distinctiveness, contrary to Policy SP6 of the adopted Caerphilly County Borough Local Development Plan up to 2021.

From the council's decision notice.
