Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, including on the significance of the nearby Old Meadows Conservation Area, as a designated heritage asset
  • the effect of the siting of the proposed development on 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 siting and appearance of the proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the significance of the Conservation Area, and this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, given that less harmful alternatives had not been properly explored.
