Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area
  • 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 siting and appearance of the development would significantly harm the character and appearance of the park, and the need to site the proposal in the location proposed would not outweigh this harm.
