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, with particular regard to the use of existing masts
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the height and prominence of the proposed mast in the street scene was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, given the lack of substantive evidence demonstrating why other suitable alternative locations had been properly discounted.
