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 unacceptable harm to character and appearance caused by the height, scale and prominence of the proposed street pole and the visual clutter from multiple cabinets was not outweighed by the need for the installation at this location, given the lack of robust evidence that suitable alternative sites had been properly explored.
