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 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

Although the proposal would result in significant harm to character and appearance, no suitable alternative sites were identified that would provide the required coverage, and the principle of development is established by the GPDO, so the harm is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan Core Strategy (2012)Policy 5.11 of the Bournemouth District Wide Local Plan (2002)
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 118Paragraph 119Paragraph 121

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.
