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, including the setting of designated and non-designated heritage assets, and, if any harm would occur, whether it is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternative sites
What decided it
The siting and appearance would cause significant harm to character and appearance and less than substantial harm to heritage assets, and this harm was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits, particularly given the failure to demonstrate that less harmful alternatives had been fully explored.
