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 and if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed considering any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The significant incongruity of the large utilitarian structure in the suburban context, where two-storey residential development predominates and utilitarian structures are rare, outweighed the telecommunications benefits and lack of suitable alternatives in the prior approval balance.
