Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with regard to an existing protected tree
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 74 Daws Hill Lane, with 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 proposal would cause significant and unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its potential effect on the protected tree, and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through dominating outlook effects, which was not outweighed by the need for the installation as no convincing evidence demonstrated that less harmful alternative sites were unavailable.
