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 including the setting of the Church of St Mary, a Grade II listed building
- if any harm is identified, whether it would be outweighed by the need for the installation and the lack of less harmful alternative sites
What decided it
The less than substantial but considerable harm to the setting of the Grade II listed Church of St Mary, combined with harm to the character and appearance of the area, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the proposal and the appellant's inadequate demonstration that alternative sites had been properly explored.
