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
  • if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence that alternative sites, including existing buildings and structures suitable for antenna installation, had been adequately explored, such that the harm to character and appearance was not outweighed by the need for the installation at the proposed location.
