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
  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

The siting of the monopole at a junction with existing tall street furniture, combined with the narrow form of the mast and screening from boundary treatment, means it would not unacceptably harm character and appearance or living conditions.
