Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance on the character and appearance of the area, and if any harm is identified, whether it would be outweighed by the need for the installation and the lack of less harmful alternative sites

What decided it

The considerable benefits of the telecommunications infrastructure do not outweigh the substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the height and prominence of the monopole in a residential setting with low-level built form.
