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 surrounding area and, if any harm would occur, whether it is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed 19m mast in an exposed, prominent location would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area, and this harm was not outweighed by the need for the installation given inadequate evidence that suitable alternative locations had been properly considered.
