Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed monopole's excessive height and bulk would result in a dominant and visually obtrusive feature that would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, which could not be outweighed by the telecommunications benefits.
