Mount Pleasant Farm, Llangan

1. 1.By reason of its scale, siting and design, the proposed extension would result in an overly dominant addition that would erode the historic form and character of the Grade II listed Mount Pleasant Farmhouse. The proposal would unbalance the building's historic U-shaped plan form, diminish the visual and spatial relationship between the principal farmhouse and associated curtilage listed buildings, and fail to preserve the special architectural and historic interest which contributes to its significance as a designated heritage asset. The proposal is therefore contrary to Section 96(2) of the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023, Planning Policy Wales (Edition 12), and Policies MD2 and MD8 of the adopted Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan 2011-2026. The recommendation to refuse listed building consent is made having regard to Section 96(2) of the Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023. In consideration of whether to grant listed building consent, this requires the local planning authority to have special regard to the desirability of preserving the building, or its setting, or any features of architectural or historic interest which it possesses Having regard to the Council’s duties under the Equality Act 2010 the proposed development does not have any significant implications for, or effect on, persons who share a protected characteristic. It is considered that the decision complies with the Council’s well-being objectives and the sustainable development principle in accordance with the requirements of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.

From the council's decision notice.
