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 existing occupiers of nearby properties, with particular regard to outlook
- if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited in the location proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed installation would have a significantly harmful effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, and given that suitable alternatives had not been properly explored, this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed.
