Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The siting and appearance of the monopole, when appropriately coloured, would not result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the area or to the outlook of nearby residents, given the existing urban context of street furniture and the filtering effect of trees and intervening distance.

- Development plan policies
- Policy DM7.11
