Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the future development of additional infrastructure for walking/cycling or junction improvement works
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The presence of existing vertical structures in the streetscene and the monopole's design features (slim profile, grey finish, angled relationship to properties) mean the proposal would not appear overly prominent or visually intrusive and would not cause harm to character and appearance.
