Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- if there is any harm, whether this is outweighed by the need to site the proposed development in the location proposed having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The monopole would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area that was not outweighed by the need for the development in this location, as the appellant had not adequately demonstrated that less harmful alternative sites had been properly explored.
