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
  • if there is any harm caused, whether this is outweighed by the need to site the proposal in the location proposed, having regard to the availability of alternative sites

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the visual prominence of the mast, particularly in views from residential properties and the surrounding semi-rural landscape, was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of improved network coverage.
