Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the siting and appearance of the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hackenthorpe Conservation Area
Whether any harm to the significance of the designated heritage asset would be outweighed by the need for the installation in the proposed location, the lack of less harmful alternative sites, and the proposal's public benefits

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate that alternative sites outside the conservation area had been properly explored meant the public benefits of the proposal could not outweigh the material harm to the heritage asset's significance.
