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
- if there is any harm, whether this would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed, having regard to the potential availability of alternative sites
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through its visual dominance and scale, and this harm would not be outweighed by the telecommunications benefits given that less harmful alternative sites had not been adequately ruled out.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BE5Policy BE14Policy H14Policy CS74
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 118Paragraph 119Paragraph 121Paragraph 135
