Why it was refused
- The proposed development, given its siting on the front roof elevation, projection above the roof line and prominence within the street, would appear as an unsympatehtic and visual incongrous altertion which would have a detrimental impact upon the character and appearance of the property, the wider streetscene and the Thomastown Conservation Area, contrary to Policies SW11 and CW1 of the Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council Replacement Local Development Plan.
- Insufficient information has been provided to adequately demonstrate that the proposal would not result in an unacceptable adverse ecological impact, nor has it been demonstrated that a net benefit would be provided in respect of biodiversity. The development is therefore contrary to Policy EnW1 of the Merthyr Tydfil Replacement Development Plan and Planning Policy Wales Edition 12.
From the council's decision notice.
