What decided it

The proposal would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area by failing to be visually unobtrusive or well-related to the wider landscape, contrary to policy SWDP36, and this harm significantly and demonstrably outweighed the economic benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
