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 significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the height, prominence and visual impact of the 18-metre pole in a predominantly two-storey residential setting was not outweighed by the need for the installation, particularly given inadequate exploration of less harmful alternative sites.
