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 of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to outlook
- whether any harm caused is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The appellant did not provide sufficient evidence that a thorough review of alternative sites within the cell search area had been carried out or that less harmful alternatives had been adequately explored, meaning the harm to character, appearance and residential outlook was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed.
