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
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on pedestrian movement
- if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking account of any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposal would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and would unacceptably obstruct safe pedestrian movement, which was not outweighed by the operational need for the installation.

- DM01DM17DM18
