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 Ruislip Village Conservation Area; the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings, with particular reference to outlook; and the operations of air traffic services
- 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 siting and appearance of the proposed installation would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the living conditions of nearby residents, and this harm has not been demonstrated to be outweighed by the need for the installation at this location given the absence of evidence regarding suitable alternatives.
