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 and, if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The appellant did not adequately demonstrate that the proposed development needed to be sited at this particular location, having failed to properly assess alternative sites and existing structures, such that the significant harm to character and appearance was not outweighed.
