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, considering any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The search for and assessment of alternative sites was not sufficiently robust, and therefore the economic and social benefits of the installation could not be confirmed as undeliverable through an alternative site where harm would be less significant, meaning the public benefits would not outweigh the harm to character and appearance.
