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 if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed 18m monopole would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the residential area, and the appellant had not adequately demonstrated that less harmful alternative sites had been properly explored.
