Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether the siting and appearance of the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
- if any harm were to occur, whether this would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, considering any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The appellant did not provide clear and persuasive evidence that the proposed site was the least harmful option or that alternative sites had been adequately assessed, combined with the failure to preserve or enhance the Conservation Area's character and appearance.
