Why it was refused

  1. The solar panels, by virtue of their prominent siting and discordant appearance, have a harmful visual impact on the visual amenities of the area and neither preserve or enhance the character of the Mumbles Conservation Area, contrary to Policies PS2, HC1 and HC2 of the Swansea Local Development Plan (2019) and the guidance contained within the Council's Mumbles Conservation Area Character Appraisal and Management Plan SPG (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
