Why it was refused
- The proposed development, by virtue of its siting, scale, design, appearance and associated enclosure would introduce an incongruous and highly prominent feature, being sited in an elevated position within an established strategic landscaping area which is currently devoid of any significant built form. As a result, the proposal fails to respond positively to the context of the area and would have a detrimental impact upon visual amenity and the character and appearance of the immediate area, contrary to Policies PS 2 and EU 1 of the Swansea Local Development Plan 2010-2025.
From the council's decision notice.
