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 including the Clifton and Hotwells Conservation Area (CHCA) and the setting of The Downs Conservation Area (DCA)
- highway safety, with particular regard to pedestrian safety
- 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 siting and appearance of the proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of heritage assets that is not outweighed by the moderate public benefits, and the appellant has not demonstrated that less harmful alternatives have been properly explored.
