Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area and, 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 appellant failed to demonstrate that sufficiently thorough review of alternative sites had been conducted, and the possibility of suitable alternative locations remained, meaning the harm to character and appearance was not outweighed by the need for the specific siting proposed.
