Why it was refused

The development, by reason of its scale, height, siting, illumination and design, would appear visually intrusive and would introduce a harmful degree of visual clutter into the street scene. The development would fail to respond positively to the character of the town centre and would detract from the quality of the public realm, therefore resulting in unacceptable harm to visual amenity, contrary to Policies 14, 32 and 33 of the Horsham District Planning Framework (2015) and Policies HB3, HB4 and HB7 of the Horsham Blueprint Business Neighbourhood Plan.
