Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the amenity of the area with particular reference to the outlook of occupiers of nearby dwellings and the partial loss of Green Infrastructure
- 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 sequential assessment of alternative sites was not sufficiently robust to demonstrate that the identified harm to residential amenity and Green Infrastructure was outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed.
The harm to the outlook of nearby dwellings and the erosion of Green Infrastructure was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, given the inadequate assessment of suitable alternatives.
