Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal 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 siting and appearance of the proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area by creating an unduly prominent and incongruous feature in an open part of the street scene, and this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed given insufficient evidence of exhaustive alternative site assessment.
