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, including its effect on trees
if any harm would occur whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed considering any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The appellant did not sufficiently demonstrate that the proposed location was necessary when suitable alternative locations at the Top Tiles car park and Larch Lea Industrial Estate had not been adequately ruled out.

Framework references: 119, 120, 122

Plan policies cited: Policy GI9, Policy H7, Policy UD1, Policy STP4

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
