Why it was refused

  1. The garage, due to its siting, scale and design, results in a dominant and inappropriate form of development, which has a harmful visual impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. This is contrary to Policy BW1 of the Torfaen County Borough Council Local Development Plan (upto 2021). POLICIES: PLEASE NOTE all the relevant policies and proposals in the Development Plan which form the basis for the Council’s refusal to grant planning permission are referred to in the reasons for refusal set out above.
