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 effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the setting of St Andrew's United Reformed Church
  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on public safety
  • 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 proposal would cause unacceptable and harmful effects on character and appearance, the setting of a listed building, and public safety, with these harms not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed or by technical requirements, particularly given that less harmful alternative sites had not been adequately ruled out.
