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
  • the effect on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers, with regards to outlook
  • the effect on the long-term health of trees
  • 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, living conditions of neighbours, and long-term tree health was not outweighed by the need for the installation, particularly given the failure to properly explore less harmful alternative sites.
