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 surrounding area including having regard to the setting of the Ranmoor Conservation Area; and if any harm would 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 harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Ranmoor Conservation Area was not outweighed by the public benefits, as the appellants failed to demonstrate that the particular proposed location was necessary and had not adequately explored suitable alternative sites.
