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
- the living conditions of residents on either side of the road, with particular regard to outlook
- 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 appellant failed to demonstrate that the proposed site was the only location for installation within the area, and the visual harm to character and appearance and adverse impact on residents' living conditions and outlook were not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed.
