Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether sufficient evidence has been provided to demonstrate compliance with the conditions under A.2 (5A), Class A, Part 16, Schedule 2 of the GPDO with specific regard to whether the Civil Aviation Authority or operator of the civil safeguarding area has been notified
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area and whether any harm would be 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 proposed 15m mast would harmfully detract from the character and appearance of the area, and the appellant had not adequately demonstrated that less harmful alternatives had been properly explored.
