Why it was refused

  1. Having regard to the cumulative impact of the unacceptable standard of outlook from the lounge window, the substandard access arrangements and the failure to demonstrate that future occupiers would not be adversely affected by the operation of the existing extraction flue, the proposal would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, contrary to Policy CW2 of the adopted Caerphilly County Borough Local Development Plan up to 2021.

From the council's decision notice.
