Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed monopole's height of 20 metres would make it the tallest structure in the vicinity by a considerable margin, appearing vastly out of scale with its low-level residential surroundings and causing significant harm to character and appearance that was not outweighed by the pressing need for the installation.
