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, including the setting of the listed building known as the Church of St Michael and All Angels, 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 unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area as an unduly prominent and incongruous feature, and this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation given the potential availability of alternative sites that had not been adequately explored.

- Policy QE 7Policy QE 8
- National Planning Policy Framework
