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 on the living conditions of the occupiers of the nearest residential properties on Bewick Park and Bathgate Close by way of outlook
  • Whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed and taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The unacceptable effects on character and appearance and living conditions of nearby residents were not outweighed by the need for the installation in this location, particularly given that a potentially suitable alternative site adjacent to the retail unit had not been properly discounted.
