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 including the effect on existing trees
  • highway safety with particular regard to pedestrian safety
  • if any harm would 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 appellant did not provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that alternative sites had been fully and robustly considered, so the need for the installation at this location did not outweigh the unacceptable harm to highway safety and character and appearance.
