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 and the living conditions of the occupants of nearby houses, with particular regard to outlook, and 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 identified harm to the character and appearance of the area from the prominent and intrusive siting of the monopole was not outweighed by the need for the installation at the proposed location, given the availability of a potentially suitable and less harmful alternative at Blaydon Road.
