Why it was refused
- The proposed garage, due to its siting, scale, design and height, 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 (to 2021).
- The proposed development would lead to an intensification of the vehicle repair use of the site. The lane serving the site is substandard in terms of its width and there is an insufficient level of information to confirm that adequate off-street parking facilities would be provided. As such the increased traffic from the proposal would have a detrimental impact on highway/pedestrian safety contrary to Policy BW1 of the Torfaen County Borough Council Local Development Plan (to 2021).
- The proposed development would lead to an intensification of the vehicle repair use of the site. This, along with the siting of the proposed garage, would lead to unacceptable noise and disturbance, to the detriment of the surrounding occupiers. This is contrary to policy BW1 of the Torfaen County Borough Council Local Development Plan (to 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.
