Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and on the living conditions of nearby occupiers, and whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and risk harm to living conditions, and this harm has not been demonstrated to be outweighed by the need to site the development in the location proposed.
