Why it was refused

  1. The proposal dwelling, by virtue of its inappropriate design and scale, would have a significant harmful impact upon the character and appearance of the Sandy Lane Chalet Community and the visual amenities of this sensitive rural location, and would fail to conserve or enhance the natural beauty of the Gower AONB contrary to Policies PS2, CV3 and ER4 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and the Council's Placemaking Guidance for the Gower AONB (2021).
  2. The proposed dwelling, by virtue of its close proximity to the common boundary with 'The Haven', would have an adverse overlooking impact on the rear garden and into the windows of this neighbouring property, to the detriment of the privacy of its occupiers, contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and the Council's Placemaking Guidance for Infill and Backland Development (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
