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, 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 intrusiveness and dominance of the proposed 15m pole in a prominent corner location within a spacious residential area, combined with the availability of potentially less harmful alternative sites, meant the harm to character and appearance was not outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed.
