Phillips B

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 taking into account any suitable alternatives
  • whether the Civil Aviation Authority has been appropriately notified

What decided it

The siting and appearance of the proposed monopole would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the local area that is not outweighed by the need for improved telecommunications coverage or the alternative sites considered.

Framework references: 117
