Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed telecommunications equipment upon the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance caused by the visually incongruous monopole, combined with the failure to demonstrate that the appeal site is the only viable solution due to inadequate evidence regarding site selection and alternatives, means the public benefits do not outweigh the identified harm.
