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 and highway safety
- 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 harm to character and appearance caused by the siting and appearance of the monopole and cabinets in a visually sensitive location was not outweighed by the need for the installation, as the appellant failed to demonstrate that this was the only suitable location and viable alternatives had not been adequately investigated.
