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
- whether adequate information has been provided to ensure that the proposal would not have an adverse impact on trees
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with 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 significant harm to character and appearance, living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, and unresolved concerns about impact on trees could not be outweighed by the operational need for the installation and the absence of suitable alternative sites.
