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
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook
- 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 proposed monopole would have a significantly harmful effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, and given that suitable alternatives have not been properly explored, this harm is not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed.
