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 the outlook of nearby occupants
in the event that harm is identified, whether this would be outweighed by other considerations including the need to locate the installation on the appeal site having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites

What decided it

The appellant's failure to comprehensively assess alternative sites and demonstrate that the appeal site represents the least harmful option, combined with the significant unacceptable harm to character, appearance and residential outlook, meant the proposal could not be justified.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy RT1/1Policy EN1/2Policy EN1/4Policy EN1/10
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 115Paragraph 117Paragraph 130
