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 area
  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers

What decided it

The slim profile and light grey colour of the monopole, combined with its consistency with the character of a distributor road already containing telecommunications infrastructure and street furniture, meant that its siting and appearance would not harmfully affect the character and appearance of the area or the living conditions of neighbouring residents.
