🏡 Neighbours Upset Over Holiday Let Plans in Bridgend! 🌟
A controversial proposal to turn a ‘granny annexe’ in Bridgend into a holiday let has been rejected once again by the local council. The property, originally a simple single-storey garage on Coychurch Road, was converted into an annexe for family use but later fenced off and rented out to holiday-goers. 🏖️
The decision came after a spirited planning committee meeting where residents voiced their concerns. Main objections included worries about highway safety, insufficient parking, loss of privacy, and increased noise. Local councillors also expressed reservations, calling the latest application an “excessive and inappropriate form of development.”
Despite claims that this conversion wouldn’t significantly impact neighbourhood intensity, the council stood firm. The report noted that creating a holiday let at this site would be akin to creating a completely new dwelling, negatively affecting neighbours’ amenities and offering poor living conditions for future occupants.
The committee ultimately sided with the officer’s advice and voted against the plans, though the applicant can still appeal the decision. It seems for now, the peaceful vibe of Coychurch Road remains intact! 🚫🏠
