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 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 siting and appearance of the monopole would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area that was not outweighed by the need for the development, given that the site selection process was not sufficiently robust to demonstrate that a less harmful alternative location could not be found.
