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, with regard to whether or not the proposal would preserve or enhance the Mill Hill Conservation Area and with regard to protected trees
- if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the benefits of the proposal and the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed development would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the Mill Hill Conservation Area, and suitable alternatives have not been properly explored, such that this harm is not outweighed by the need for the installation.
