Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation upon highway users with particular regard to pedestrian and cyclists and, 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 proposed development would create street clutter causing adverse effects on pedestrian and cyclist movements and highway safety, with insufficient justification provided for rejecting suitable alternative locations and forms.
