Why it was refused
- By reason of the siting, scale and design, the garage as proposed would unacceptably impact on the intrinsic character of the converted barn and the rural character of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policies MD2 - Design of New Development, MD11 - Conversion and Renovation of Rural Buildings and MD12 - Dwellings in the Countryside of the Vale of Glamorgan Adopted Local Development Plan 2011-2026, and the advice contained within Supplementary Planning Guidance on Conversion and Renovation of Rural Buildings (2018).
From the council's decision notice.
