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, including impact on trees
the living conditions of nearby occupants with regards to outlook
whether alternative sites have been satisfactorily considered

What decided it

The siting and appearance of the proposed 17-metre mast would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, and suitable alternative sites had not been adequately ruled out.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
