Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The height and visual prominence of the monopole would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with local plan policies D1 and GD1, and this harm was not outweighed by the telecommunications benefits.

Development plan policies
Policy D1Policy GD1
