Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the 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 the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The proposed mast's height of 20m would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the residential area, and the appellant failed to demonstrate that alternative sites with lesser visual impact had been adequately considered.
