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 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 siting and appearance of the proposed development would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, and the need for the installation as proposed was not demonstrated to outweigh this harm given insufficient evidence that suitable alternative sites had been properly considered.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM18
