Why it was refused

  1. By reason of its siting and appearance, the proposed roof terrace would represent a harmful addition to the property and the historic core of Cowbridge both through its modern appearance and use. Due to its visibility, the proposal would fail to preserve or enhance the character of this positive building within the conservation area and would be contrary to Polices SP10 (Built and Natural Environment), MD2 (Design of new Development), Policy MD5 (Development within Settlement Boundaries) and MD8 (The Historic Environment) of the Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan.
  2. The use of the flat roof area as balcony would unacceptably harm the amenity of No. 1 The Limes and as such would not safeguard existing public and residential amenity in respect of privacy and overlooking, contrary to Policy MD2 (Design of new Development) of the Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan and would fail to consider the key principles as outlined in section 8.12 of the Residential and Householder SPG.
  3. By reason of the application not being supported by a Green Infrastructure Statement, the proposal fails to comply with Planning Policy Wales as an assessment of the step-wise approach has not been demonstrated. The proposal therefore fails to comply with policy SP1 (Delivering the Strategy) of the adopted Local Development Plan, in addition to Planning Policy Wales (Edition 12).
