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, having regard to the setting of the listed Wavertree Botanic Garden and Park and listed Botanic Park Lodge
- The long-term health of trees
- Whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the listed Wavertree Botanic Garden and Park, combined with potential unacceptable adverse effects on the long-term health of nearby trees, was not outweighed by the need for the installation where less harmful alternatives had not been properly explored.
