Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the Harrogate Conservation Area (HCA) and the Crimple Valley Special Landscape Area (CVSLA) through development in their settings
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 2 – 12 Almsford Close, with regard to outlook
- if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the proposal to be sited as proposed considering any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposal would cause unduly harmful visual intrusion to the character and appearance of the surrounding area and would unreasonably diminish the outlook of neighbouring residents, and this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation at this location given the inadequate assessment of alternative sites.
