Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development appears as a solitary and incongruous addition to a pleasant and aesthetically pleasing area of green space within the Rhymney settlement, compounded by the highly prominent nature of the application site. As a result, the proposed development is considered to result in an adverse visual impact and does not comply with criterion B of Policy SP6 and criterion B of Policy CW7 of the Caerphilly County Borough Local Development Plan up to 2021.

From the council's decision notice.
