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 designated heritage assets
if any harm is identified whether that 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 proposed installation would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host building and street scene, and the appellant had not adequately demonstrated that no suitable alternative sites existed within the cell search area.
