Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed telecommunications equipment upon the character and appearance of the area and, 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 appellant failed to provide sufficiently robust evidence that the appeal site was the only viable solution, and the 20m pole would cause unacceptable visual harm to the character and appearance of the area that was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed.
