One detached dwelling at Land south of the Angel Inn off Heol Las, Mawdlam

“DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT Planning permission is sought to develop a single detached dwelling, including access and parking on a vacant plot located to the rear of the Angel Inn, Mawdlam. The plot is described as a former garden and paddock located within the historically significant village.”

“The proposed five-bedroom dwelling would be set centrally within the Application site and would contain a double garage. Parking for two vehicles would be provided forward of the garage on the driveway area. Existing established trees would be retained and the site finished in both hard and soft landscaping. A bike and recycling store are indicated at the southwestern corner of the plot.”

“The site is accessed via an existing single width, unadopted private access lane with an entrance point off Heol Las which lies approximately 35 metres to the south of the Application site. The private access lane currently serves four properties which are positioned to the east and south of the Application site.”

“The site is bordered to the west by the Grade II* Listed Church known as the Church of St Mary Magdalen and to the north by The Angel Inn public house. The Listed Church stands within a raised curvilinear churchyard on a high prominence above the former site of Kenfig and is Listed as a 13th Century building of substantially medieval fabric with an unusual early porch and a remarkable front.”
