Why it was refused

  1. The proposal represents an inappropriate conversion and is considered overdevelopment of the site, resulting in an unacceptable intensification of use and poor-quality living accommodation for future residents, including a lack of outdoor amenity space and waste storage facilities. The additional comings and goings would also cause unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents. Furthermore, the location of the site, noting the absence of significant large- scale local employment opportunities in the locality, would be considered to rely on the use of the private motor vehicle. In addition, the proposal would lead to increased on-street parking demand and would generate indiscriminate on-street parking in the area which would have a negative impact upon highway safety. As such, the application is contrary to Policies AW5 and AW6 of the Rhondda Cynon Taf Local Development Plan and Supplementary Planning Guidance: Houses in Multiple Occupation and Access, Circulation and Parking Requirements.

From the council's decision notice.
