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 effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers, with regards to outlook
- whether sufficient evidence has been submitted to demonstrate that other sites have been considered as suitable alternatives
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed monopole would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and the outlook of neighbouring residential occupiers, and the appellant failed to demonstrate that suitable alternative sites had been adequately explored.
