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 the living conditions of nearby occupants with regard to outlook
- whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions of nearby occupants was not outweighed by the need for the installation, as the appellant had not demonstrated that less harmful alternative sites had been fully and properly explored.
