Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and, in the event that any harm is identified, whether that harm would be outweighed by the need to site the installation in the location proposed and any benefits associated with the development
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance caused by the height, scale and visual obtrusiveness of the monopole in the street scene was not outweighed by the telecommunications benefits, particularly as less harmful alternative sites had not been adequately explored.
