Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, and whether any harm caused would be outweighed by the need to site the installation in the location proposed, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites

What decided it

The siting and appearance of the monopole would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, and this harm was not outweighed by the telecommunications benefits, particularly given that the appellant had not adequately demonstrated that more suitable alternative sites did not exist.

Development plan policies: Policy 5.11 of the Bournemouth District Wide Local Plan (2002)Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan: Core Strategy (2012)
