Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- 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
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the 16m mast would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the area that is not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, particularly given insufficient evidence that suitable alternative locations closer to existing trees were properly considered.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy I6
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 117
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
