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 including nearby trees, and the safe use of the highway for pedestrians
- if there is any harm, whether this would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and pedestrian safety, and the appellant failed to demonstrate that less harmful alternative sites were not available.
