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

What decided it

The siting and appearance of the lattice tower, being a narrow functional structure similar in character to the existing water tower and well-screened by existing vegetation, would be acceptable in the rural landscape and would not result in an unduly prominent or conspicuous feature.
