Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area including the significance of a non-designated heritage asset and on highway safety, 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 combination of the monopole's height, bulk and positioning would create unacceptable visual clutter and harm to character and appearance, whilst also unacceptably narrowing the pavement and compromising highway safety, with insufficient evidence of alternative sites being explored.
