Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the effect on the setting of the locally listed Red Lion public house, a non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The monopole's excessive height, design and location would cause significant visual harm to the character and appearance of the area and would unduly diminish the setting of the locally listed Red Lion, and this harm was not outweighed by the appellant's failure to demonstrate that the proposed site was the only viable option within the search area.
