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 living conditions of nearby occupants with regards to outlook
  • whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternative sites

What decided it

The appellant failed to provide robust justification for rejecting a more suitable alternative site suggested by the Council, and the harm to character and appearance from the prominent and visually intrusive monopole was not outweighed by the need for the installation at the proposed location.
