Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 16, Class A of the GPDO with regard to the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area including whether the proposed development would preserve the setting of the Forester Public House Grade II listed building 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 visual prominence and dominance of the 16-metre monopole in an open setting adjacent to a Grade II listed building, combined with insufficient evidence that the site represented the only viable option, meant the harm to character, appearance and heritage setting could not be outweighed by the benefits of the telecommunications installation.
