Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The siting and appearance of the 17m pole would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by its overtly dominant and incongruous appearance in a low-level suburban context, and this harm could not be mitigated by alternative sites being available.
