Why it was refused

  1. The east facing first floor window serving the bedroom would result in views over the lane and would result in an unacceptable loss of privacy to the occupiers of the opposing properties in Glebe Street, adversely impacting on their amenity. The proposal would there fail to comply with Policy MD2 (Criterion 8) of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Local Development Plan 2011-2026, and paragraphs 9.2.2 and 9.2.5 of the Councils Residential and Householder Development SPG.
  2. By reason of the primary access being via a sub-standard rear lane, the proposal would have a harmful effect on the living conditions and safety of the occupiers of the proposed dwelling and visitors to it. As such, the proposals would fail to accord with the provisions of Policy MD2-Design of New Development of the LDP, Section 8.6 of the adopted Residential and Householder Development SPG and national guidance in TAN 12-Design and Planning Policy Wales.
  3. Due to the primary access being provided via the sub-standard rear lane, refuse and delivery vehicles could not safely access the site and refuse operatives would be required to collect refuse on foot, exceeding the recommended distance identified within paragraphs 6.8.7 and 6.8.11 of Manual for Streets.

From the council's decision notice.
