Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development by reason of its siting and design results in an unacceptable visual impact which is contrary to the established pattern of development in the area resulting in an overdevelopment of the plot and an incongruous form of development which is unduly harmful to the character and appearance of the area contrary to Policies GP2 and GP6 of the Newport Local Development Plan 2011 - 2026 (Adopted January 2015) and the New Dwellings SPG.
  2. The proposed layout has insufficient visibility splays to ensure the scheme would not result in harm on pedestrian safety and the layout of the parking spaces does not accord with the adopted parking standards contrary to Policies GP4 and T4 of the Newport Local Development Plan 2011 - 2026 (Adopted January 2015).
  3. The development would have a significant adverse impact upon interests of acknowledged importance, namely it represents an unsustainable form of development which fails to be mitigated by contributions towards affordable housing. As such, the scheme is contrary to the Planning Obligations SPG dated January 2020 and policies SP1, SP13 and H4 of the Newport Local Development Plan 2011-2026 (Adopted January 2015).

From the council's decision notice.
