Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area and the significance of designated heritage assets, and in the event that any harm is identified, whether that harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation and the lack of less harmful alternative sites
What decided it
The proposal would cause material harm to the character and appearance of the area and less than substantial harm to the significance of a listed building, and suitable alternative sites with fewer constraints and no heritage asset proximity were available.
