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 whether it would preserve the setting of the Grade II Listed White Hart Public House
  • 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 appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence that the appeal site represents the least harmful option available to meet coverage and capacity requirements, and the harm to character and appearance and heritage setting was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
