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, if any harm were to occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The siting and appearance of the proposed installation would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, and this harm was not outweighed by the benefits of the development because viable alternative sites had not been adequately ruled out.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy EN1 of the Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document (Adopted February 2009)

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.
