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 surrounding area
- the effect of the siting of the proposed installation on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to outlook
- 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 failure to provide clear and persuasive evidence that suitable alternative sites had been properly explored, combined with the significant and unmitigated harm to the character and appearance of the area and the overbearing effect on neighbouring residents' outlook, rendered the proposal unacceptable.
