Why it was refused

  1. By reason of the siting of the retrospective storage shed, log burner and additional storage shed, it is considered that the proposal represents an unsustainable, unacceptable and unjustified form of development in this countryside location that would detract from the unspoilt, undeveloped nature of the surrounding rural landscape contrary to Policies MD1 - Location of New Development and MD2 - Design of New Development of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Local Development Plan 2011-2026, and the advice within Technical Advice Note 12 - Design (2016) and Planning Policy Wales (12th edition).

From the council's decision notice.
