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
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to outlook
- 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 identified harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbouring residents was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, given insufficient evidence that suitable alternative sites had been fully considered.
