Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the street scene, with particular regard to the Woolwich Road Conservation Area and, if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited in this position by taking into account any suitable alternative sites and the public benefits
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate through rigorous sequential site selection that no more suitable alternative sites existed within the coverage area where the installation would cause less harm to the Conservation Area.
