Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and on pedestrian and highway 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 central siting of the equipment on the footway would unreasonably obstruct pedestrians without due regard to disabled people's needs, contrary to the GPDO conditions, and this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed.
