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
- The living conditions of the occupiers of the nearby residential properties due to outlook
- 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 20-metre high pole would be a visually prominent and intrusive feature that would dominate the open character of the junction and harm the outlook from nearby residential properties, and suitable alternative locations within the wider urban area could potentially be found.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy UD1Policy STP4
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
