Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • in the event that harm is identified, whether this would be outweighed by other considerations including the need to locate the installation on the appeal site having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites

What decided it

The significant and unmitigated harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the height, bulk and visual intrusiveness of the proposed monopole, combined with the failure to robustly demonstrate that no preferable alternative sites exist, outweighed the benefits of improved digital coverage.
