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 and, if any harm were to 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 comprehensive analysis of alternative sites with clear reasons for their rejection, combined with the absence of substantive evidence of other suitable, less prominent sites within the required search area, outweighed the identified harm to character and appearance.
