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
- Whether any harm would be caused would be outweighed by the need to site the proposal in the location proposed, having regard to the availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the National Park landscape caused by the substantially larger and more obtrusive mast and additional cabinets, combined with the failure to demonstrate that no more suitable alternative sites are available, outweighed the telecommunications benefits.
