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

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance arising from the siting and appearance of the proposal in a prominent location at a busy junction outweighs the benefits of enhanced telecommunications infrastructure, particularly as the appellant has not demonstrated that the appeal site is the only viable solution.
