Planning appeal 3320019 at Highways Land, Church Road/Whitechurch Road, Bristol, BS13 7RW (Bristol City Council) was dismissed on 19 December 2023 by Inspector Law T, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the siting and appearance of the proposed installation would preserve or enhance character and appearance of the Malago Conservation Area, and 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.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the siting and appearance of the proposed installation would preserve or enhance character and appearance of the Malago Conservation Area, and 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 proposal fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Malago Conservation Area and this harm is not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, given the potential for suitable alternative locations that have not been robustly explored.
