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
  • Whether any harm to character and appearance would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the prominent and discordant 15m mast was not outweighed by the need for the installation, as less harmful alternatives had not been properly explored.
