Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including trees, and highway safety
- Whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to both the character and appearance of the area through potential damage to a mature tree and to highway safety through obstruction of visibility at the Malvern Drive junction, and the appellant failed to demonstrate that less harmful alternatives had been properly explored.
