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
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on nearby trees
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the living conditions of the existing occupiers at 123 Pilch Lane
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on highway safety
- if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any alternative provision
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance, nearby trees and highway safety, which was not outweighed by the need for the installation given that less harmful alternatives had not been properly explored.
The need for the proposed installation weighed in favour of the appeal, but this was not sufficient to outweigh the identified harms to character and appearance, nearby trees and highway safety.
