Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation 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 siting and appearance of the proposed monopole would not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Durham City Conservation Area, and the appellant failed to provide clear and persuasive evidence demonstrating a need for this specific location or that suitable alternatives had been properly explored.
