Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 72 Booth Lane South, with particular regard to outlook
- whether any harm caused is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate through clear and persuasive evidence that suitable alternative sites had been adequately explored or that the proposed site was the most suitable option, such that the harm to the living conditions of No 72 Booth Lane South was not outweighed by the need for the installation.
