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, with particular reference to the Ranmoor Conservation 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 harm to the character and appearance of the Ranmoor Conservation Area caused by the siting and appearance of the monopole was not outweighed by the public benefits of the telecommunications infrastructure, particularly given the lack of robust evidence that suitable alternative sites had been adequately assessed.
