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
  • Whether any harm to character and appearance would be outweighed by the need to site the installation in the proposed location, having regard to the availability of alternative sites

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance caused by the monopole's height, scale and utilitarian design was not outweighed by the telecommunications benefits, as the appellant failed to demonstrate that the proposed site was the best available option for minimising visual impact.
