REFUSED – Subject to the following reasons:
(1) The unauthorised addition of the ancillary structures, minor alterations, and
associated layout changes including:- a Lean-to Fuel Reception Building, lean-to
Compressor House, urea Silo, externally mounted discharge Incline conveyor,
screening tower and dust extraction plant, emergency diesel generator and fire
kiosk, fire water tank and pump house, amendment to stack width and an
enlargement to the noise attenuator located at the base of the chimney stack; have
detrimentally affected the appearance of the development over and above that
approved in 2015 and will harm the amenity of nearby residential properties in both
the Waterfront and Dock View Road. The Development is accordingly contrary to
policies MD 2 (Design of New Development) and MD5 (Development Within
Settlement Boundaries) of the adopted Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan.
(2) The applicant has failed to demonstrate that there will not be adverse
environmental impacts because the EIA fails to adequately and fully assess the
impacts regarding waste; particularly as there is no specific chapter dealing with this
key issue. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies MD 2 (Design of New
Developments), MD 7 (Environmental Protection) and MD 20 (Assessment of waste
Management Proposals) of the adopted Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan.

REFUSED – Subject to the following reasons:
1. The proposal comprises an integral and operational part of the wider
development which, by reason of the unauthorised ancillary structures, minor
alterations, and associated layout changes that include:- a Lean-to Fuel Reception
Building, lean-to Compressor House, urea Silo, externally mounted discharge Incline
conveyor, screening tower and dust extraction plant, emergency diesel generator
and fire kiosk, fire water tank and pump house, amendment to stack width and an
enlargement to the noise attenuator located at the base of the chimney stack; has
detrimentally affected the appearance of the development over and above that
approved in 2015 and will harm the amenity of nearby residential properties in both
the Waterfront and Dock View Road. The Development is accordingly contrary to
policies MD 2 (Design of New Development) and MD5 (Development Within
Settlement Boundaries) of the adopted Vale of Glamorgan Local Development Plan.
2. The proposal comprises an integral and operational part of the wider
development, which is not supported by adequate information to demonstrate that
there would not be adverse environmental impacts (due to the EIA failing to assess
fully the impacts regarding waste, particularly as there is no specific chapter dealing
with this key issue). The proposal is therefore contrary to policies MD 2 (Design of
New Developments), MD 7 (Environmental Protection) and MD 20 (Assessment of
waste Management Proposals) of the adopted Vale of Glamorgan Local
Development Plan.
