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
- Whether any identified harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation and the lack of less harmful alternative sites
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed 15m monopole would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the residential area, and this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation given insufficient evidence that alternative sites had been properly explored.
