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 the living conditions of residents of 7 Beauclerk Road, 6 and 8 Lima Road and Sunningdale Court with regard 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 Inspector was not satisfied that less harmful alternative locations did not exist, and the appellant had not provided sufficient evidence to justify why the proposed siting was necessary rather than alternative locations that appeared more appropriate.

- Policy DH1 of the Saint Anne's on the Sea Neighbourhood Development Plan 2016-2031Policy INF1 of the Fylde Local Plan to 2032Policy GD7 of the Fylde Local Plan to 2032
