Appeal decision confusion



Could this appeal decision be looked at again? I have other worse scenary benches acceptee than this.

That is a nice view to take in whilst sat on the bench.

A place to enjoy nature.
Yes the bench is ordinary, but this submission is about the view.which is not.

I love that view! It’s a shame it was rejected

I don’t know what kind of appeal reviewer was reviewing these, but the same rejection.

And another one I would like be reviewed please. It might be typical, but it is the view that counts after all, not what kind of bench it is. :

I feel differently about this second one as the emphasis from the combination of the title ( my translation is viewingbench place name?) and the photo which is of the bench and not the view.
I think for a scenic view to succeed in my opinion ( perfectly happy to accept different opinions :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:) you need the view in the picture - so a combination similar to the one at the start of the topic - showing the bench as the anchor point for that view.
It seems tricky in this case because of the position of the bench but I do think the view should be main feature.

I agree, but it is not possible with this bench. I have done the best I could.

Even if, the bench is not what matters, it is the view as criteria states. The view is much better than other scenary benches I have gotten accepted.

And you don’t need the view in the picture. Take a look at these examples.

Either it’s ridicilious these decisions. Decision being made, because they just looked at the bench.

I don’t like either of these scenery benches for wayspots. The view is not something I would sit down to admire.

I understand these are borderline, as some people will accept any bench with pretty much any view, but it helps if you can show that this is the only bench in the area. Both of these give the impression of being one bench with others scattered around with similar view (this may not be correct, but I am going from what you have presented).

Not even the first one? Crazy.

It might not be seeable, but the first bench is pretty high up, and you are looking right at the skyview. Amazing

These are the only benches here, but the first one is on a brand new street which does not have streetview to see this, and im way too far away from it.

Second I can proof with a photo, but this kind of evidence should not be neccesary.

Either way, im not going into discussion about these further. The criteria has been stated and applied wrong here. Until staff have either reversed or explained I stand by my decision that they are eligible.

I will be honest, I don’t think this spot is particularly scenic, is it overlooking a sand court of sorts? Maybe the photo isn’t doing it justice

Not crazy, just a different opinion. The first bench is overlooking a field, a water channel (possibly) and a field beyond.

The second one is overlooking a river and a field.

Not everyone has to agree that every bench with a view has got a view that is special enough to be a wayspot.

I did say on another thread that the problem with “Bench with a View” nominations is that every bench has a view even if it the back of Tescos :frowning:

Everyone is going to have a different opinion on where the “Great View” / “A View” / “Poor View” lines should be placed and where they fit regards to Accept or Reject.

Obviously we have only received part of the nominations for these 2 but with the info we have and I add this is just my opinion I would have Rejected these.

Im not gonna go further into these.

Just gonna avoid them now, obviously and absolutely not worth it anymore.

Threat solved
