Land at Junction of Parkgrove and Princes Avenue, Park Grove, Hull, HU5 3QA

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the street scene, with particular regard to the Princes Avenue Conservation Area and Grade II Listed buildings (the Church Tower and K8 telephone boxes) and, if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited in this position by taking into account any suitable alternative sites and the public benefits

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate through a sufficiently rigorous sequential approach that there are no realistic opportunities to erect the installation in a different location where its siting and appearance would be less harmful to the conservation area and listed buildings.
