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, and whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed considering any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the residential area caused by the incongruous 17m pole, which would not be mitigated by natural screening and would outweigh the public benefits of the telecommunications installation and the absence of suitable alternatives.
