Why it was refused
- The proposed garage building, by virtue of its poor form and appearance, constitutes an incongruous development that would fail to respect the host dwelling, would be to the detriment of the visual amenities of the area and would fail to preserve or enhance the character of the Newton Conservation Area, contrary to Policies PS2, HC1 and HC2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and the Council's Placemaking Guidance for Householder Development (2021).
From the council's decision notice.
