Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The landscape and visual impact of the scheme
  • The effect on heritage assets
  • Whether the proposal would conflict with the development plan and if so whether there are any material considerations that would outweigh that conflict; the planning balance

What decided it

The very significant benefits of the scheme's contribution to renewable energy generation and decarbonisation clearly and decisively outweighed the limited landscape, visual and heritage harm identified.

The imperative to tackle climate change and the very significant benefits of the scheme (renewable energy generation and biodiversity net gain) clearly and decisively outweighed the limited, localised landscape and visual harm and the temporary less-than-substantial harm to heritage assets.
