Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development, would result in the existing rear garden area being reduced in size. The remaining part of the garden area would fail to provide sufficient private and useable outdoor amenity space, to the detriment of the living conditions of the current and future occupiers of the host dwelling, contrary to Policy PS2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and the Council's Placemaking Guidance for Householder Development (2021).
  2. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed hardstanding area is served by adequate visibility splays and has failed to demonstrate that vehicles can manoeuvre into and out of the site. The proposed parking space is also considered to be of a sub-standard length. It has not therefore been demonstrated that vehicles can adequately and safely access and egress the site, to the detriment of highway and pedestrian safety, contrary to Policies PS2 and T1 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019).

From the council's decision notice.
