Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, by virtue of the limited street parking and congestion in the area, would give rise to an unsatisfactory highway safety impact, contrary to Policy SW11 of the Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Replacement Local Development Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
