The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the siting of the proposed installation on the delivery of the Canada Water Masterplan, with particular regard to vehicular access to Development Zone E; 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.
