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 and, 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 Inspector could not conclude that the appeal site represents the least harmful alternative for a new installation, as the evidence for discounting alternative sites was insufficiently detailed, meaning the visual harm to character and appearance was not outweighed by operational necessity.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SP11DM1DM3DM54D8SI6
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 115Paragraph 117
