Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on trees and heritage assets
- if any harm would occur, whether this would be outweighed by public benefits and 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 large equipment cabinets would cause less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area's significance, and this harm would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits, particularly given that alternative sites had not been satisfactorily ruled out.
