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 21 Beatrice Street and those of 166, 168, 170 Harrowby Street by way of outlook
  • Whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The siting and appearance of the proposed installation would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of occupiers of 21 Beatrice Street, and this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation given that less harmful alternatives had not been adequately explored.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
