The adverse impacts of granting permission, principally the very substantial harm to character and appearance from poor design, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing provision, biodiversity net gain, and economic benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
