Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the 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 alternative locations
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed mast would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of the locally listed building, and the appellant failed to demonstrate that the need for this location outweighed that harm or that no more suitable alternative sites were available.
