Why it was refused

  1. Croesawn ohebu yn Gymraeg a fydd gohebu yn y Gymraeg ddim yn arwain at oedi. Rhowch wybod inni beth yw’ch dewis iaith e.e Cymraeg neu’n ddwyieithog. We welcome correspondence in Welsh and corresponding with us in Welsh will not lead to a delay. Let us know your language choice if Welsh or bilingual. By virtue of its prominent siting and singular location within an area of open countryside, the proposed agricultural building would represent an incongruous and isolated development which would be harmful to the character of the Special Landscape Area in which it is situated contrary to Policy EnW5 of the Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council Replacement Local Development Plan.

From the council's decision notice.
