Why it was refused

The containers are considered to represent an incongruous and unacceptable form of development in the open countryside, compounded by the highly prominent location in close proximity to a public right of way. The containers are therefore not considered to be appropriate structures for the countryside location and contrary to criterion B of Policy SP6 of the Caerphilly County Borough Local Development Plan up to 2021 - Adopted November 2010.
The dog grooming enterprise is not considered to be suitable for the rural location due to the isolated location and significant distance from the closest defined settlement. As a result, it is not considered to be in a location that reflects sustainable transport methods. The development is therefore considered to be contrary to criterion D of Policy SP6 and criterion A of Policy CW19 of the Caerphilly County Borough Local Development Plan up to 2021 - Adopted November 2010.

From the council's decision notice.
