Why it was refused

  1. The proposal has not demonstrated that demand from the loss of the gym as a community facility would be acceptably satisfied within the area and that the facility (D2 Use) has been marketed and proven to be no longer economically viable. As such the proposal would be contrary to Policies MD5-Development Within Settlement Boundaries and MD13-Tourism and Leisure of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Local Development Plan 2011- 2026, the advice within Supplementary Planning Guidance on Tourism and Leisure and Planning Policy Wales (Ed 12).

From the council's decision notice.
