Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the effect on nearby trees
- Whether any harm caused is outweighed by the need to site the installation in the proposed location, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposal would cause very significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, and the search for and assessment of alternative sites was not sufficiently robust to demonstrate that no other sites were available where harm would be less severe.
