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, having regard to the Blackburn Park Conservation Area
- highway and pedestrian safety
- 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 alternatives
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the public benefits and need for the installation could not be achieved by siting the monopole elsewhere, particularly given the existence of similar structures outside the conservation area, and therefore the less than substantial harm to the conservation area was not outweighed.
