What decided it

The visual harm caused by the tree house structure and the change of use of agricultural land to domestic garden use, which would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area including the Ironstone Hill Special Landscape Area, outweighs any modest benefits from renewable energy and biodiversity gain.
