Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Old Sneinton Conservation Area
  • Whether any harm caused would be outweighed by any benefits of the proposal, including the need to site the installation in the location proposed having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate through adequate sequential assessment that a less harmful alternative site providing the same public benefits would not be achievable meant the substantial benefits of the proposal could not outweigh the considerable harm to the conservation area and listed building settings.
